The Best Clothing Colors for Men | Why You Should Wear Neutral Colors

About this video

McGoff explains why building a wardrobe around neutral colors—black, white, gray, beige, cream, navy, and olive—is beneficial for men’s style. He demonstrates how a neutral foundation provides versatility, allows for easy outfit combinations, enables contrast control, and creates a flexible base for adding personality through accessories or statement pieces.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that neutral colors form the ideal foundation for a men’s wardrobe, making it easy to mix and match pieces and get dressed without overthinking combinations
• McGoff recommends keeping neutral basics as 80% of your wardrobe while using accessories or a few colorful pieces to add personality and adapt outfits for different occasions
• McGoff contends that a neutral palette gives you control over contrast in your outfits, which he finds especially important as a shorter man, allowing you to create either streamlined low-contrast looks or intentional high-contrast outfits
