9 Simple Ways for Men to Look Better in Earth Tones

About this video

The Gentleman’s Gazette team explores nine practical methods for incorporating earth tones—browns, tans, greens, oranges, and other nature-inspired hues—into everyday menswear outfits. They explain that earth tones offer versatility across formality levels, work with any skin tone, and provide an alternative to the monochromatic grays and blacks that dominate modern menswear, while maintaining a refined aesthetic.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that earth tones create lower-contrast, harmonious outfits that allow for bold color statements without appearing out of place in traditional menswear
• The team recommends building earth tone outfits with brown or tan foundational pieces like sport coats, suits, or outerwear, then layering complementary colors found in nature
• The Gazette team suggests that accessories, dress shirts in cream or light blue, brown chinos and dress pants, and sweaters in earth tones are affordable and accessible entry points for incorporating this palette
