Secrets of Color: What Your Outfit Colors Say About You

About this video

The Gazette team explores the psychological and emotional associations of colors in menswear, examining positive and negative connotations for each hue from red through brown. They provide guidance on how to incorporate various colors into outfits thoughtfully, discussing color theory, research on how colors affect mood and perception, and practical pairing recommendations for classic menswear.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that colors carry psychological weight and can influence both the wearer’s mood and how others perceive them, with research showing colors can affect heart rate, blood pressure, and even behavior
• The Gazette team recommends using bold warm colors like red and orange in moderation and in muted shades to avoid looking flashy, while cool colors like blue and green are generally more versatile and soothing
• The Gazette team suggests considering color harmony with skin tone, eye color, and hair color, and being intentional about how many colors you combine in a single outfit to manage the emotional signals you send
