Three or More Colors in One Outfit? No Problem!

About this video

The Gazette team teaches how to confidently incorporate multiple colors into menswear outfits without appearing garish. They present six primary strategies, including swapping white shirts for pastels, adding colorful waistcoats, wearing sport coats with odd trousers, and using accessories like colored shoelaces and boutonnieres. The team then details seven additional approaches using patterned garments—patterned ties, pocket squares, scarves, tattersall shirts, patterned waistcoats, checked jackets, and patterned socks—to introduce color complexity while maintaining sophistication.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that neutral-colored base garments like camel hair or gray suits provide ideal foundations for introducing multiple accent colors without overwhelming an outfit
• The Gazette team recommends using patterned accessories like paisley pocket squares and tattersall shirts as effective ways to incorporate multiple colors in controlled doses
• The Gazette team emphasizes the importance of restraint and coordination when combining colors, cautioning against wearing too many bold colored elements simultaneously
