13 Masculine Colors Only High-Class Gentlemen Know (And Wear!)

About this video

The Gazette team explores historically masculine colors in men’s wear, tracing their origins and practical applications in classic menswear. They cover fifteen colors—from salmon pink and crimson to navy blue, petrol blue, indigo, charcoal gray, and brown—explaining the historical significance of each and how to incorporate them into modern wardrobes across different formality levels and garment types.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that many colors considered feminine today, like salmon pink, were historically symbols of wealth and status worn by noblemen, and they advocate rejecting gender norms in classic style
• The Gazette team teaches that navy blue and charcoal gray serve as versatile foundational pieces that work across the formality scale, while bolder colors like petrol blue, cobalt blue, and indigo offer creative alternatives for self-expression
• The Gazette team recommends brown as an underrated neutral earth tone that pairs well with most other colors and works at nearly every formality level except white tie
