Color Matching Made EASY 3 Simple Rules For Bringing Colors Into Your Wardrobe
[0:00:00] Antonio: Gentlemen, I’ve got Baron of the
Effortless Gent here.
And today, we’re going to be talking about matching colors.
He’s got three basic rules for you.
Are you ready?
Let’s get into it.
[Music] All right, guys, so Baron has three quick rules that you can use to match colors
effortlessly.
So, rule number one, what do we got?
Baron: All right.
So, my biggest rule or tip actually is when guys are scared to put a lot of color together,
I think what they really need to remember is what I call menswear neutrals which essentially
is black, white, gray, you have your light blue, you have your navy, you have your olive,
and you have your chino color like your khaki – your British khaki.
Those colors always go really well together and they also go great with other colors out
there.
So, if you just have an outfit full of those what I call menswear neutrals, you can really
put any other pop up color which would be my tip number two.
You can put any other pop up color in there and you don’t have to worry about clashing
or not looking good.
Your outfit is like a perfect example, what he’s wearing right now.
He has an, you know he has a green like olive.
Antonio: Which for the record, guys, I have pants on.
Correct?
Baron: There are pants down here, guys.
Antonio: Yes.
Baron: Just you know you can’t see them, but they’re there.
Don’t worry.
Antonio: There is rumors out there that I don’t wear pants.
I do have them on.
Okay.
So, why is this a perfect example?
We’ve got the green, we’ve got the whites.
Baron: Right.
And then, so below he’s wearing dark blue jeans, so there is your navy color, right?
So, that’s a good perfect palette for I call them menswear neutrals, I think they
look great with everything, but what he does here is he has a perfect little pop up color
which is like there’s reds, there’s oranges, there’s a little bit of blue and white.
He doesn’t have to worry about...
Antonio: This is an RMRS pocket square by the way.
Baron: He doesn’t have to worry if, oh, does my pocket square match everything else?
He doesn’t have to worry about that because his whole outfit is made up of neutrals.
So, if you stick to those two rules when you’re looking at color, just those two rules alone
I think you can go really far without thinking color matching, it’s super simple.
Antonio: Now, what about my shoes?
I brought in some brown here.
Are these neutral still or is this a pop color?
Baron: I feel like any range of brown from khaki - British khaki all the way down to
brown like those look really great and brown has always look good with these types of colors
with menswear neutrals.
If you’re going to go black, I think black pants, black suit looks great with black only
black shoes as far as that goes, but everything else I think brown is like the perfect color.
And right now, you have like a cognac color brown, so it’s not a dark brown, but it’s
a good it’s a nice little pop up color too yet it still looks great with the whole outfit.
Antonio: All right.
So, we’ve got one more rule left, what are you going to – what are you going to wow
them with, Baron?
Baron: Okay.
This is – okay, this is going to be controversial, okay?
A lot of guys they want to think, oh, what is my skin tone look like with certain colors
and they get really like into it you know.
But, I’m going to be honest with you, guys, like I don’t ever think about that stuff.
So, my third tip is to not think too hard about how to put colors together what looks
great with my skin.
Yeah, maybe you want to research that a little bit, but I think if you listen to rule number
one, you listen to rule number two what I just mentioned here, that’s really all you
need to know to put together like 90% of your wardrobe.
Antonio: All right.
I like that, guys.
So, very simple rules.
I’m going to actually link to Baron’s channel in the description of this video,
guys.
If you want effortless style, you would want to go check out the Effortless Gent.
And, he’s over in New York City via San Francisco.
So, what I like is your – a lot of your style a lot of your stuff is much more urban
and you’re going to really, you know, hey, for the guy that wants to make it simple.
Baron: Yeah, Antonio: That simply wants to bring – make
it effortless.
Baron: A little casual, a little tailored, a little mix of both.
Absolutely.
Antonio: All right, guys, if you want more, go check him out.
I’m linking to him down in the description.

Baron: See you guys.
[Music] Manny: You’re at an event where there’s
so much success around you and there’s so many people at your level as far as your own
peers and whatnot.
You can grow with one another as well as learn from the successes and mistakes of other people
who already have inspired you.
Derek: The lectures are great, but the best part is connecting in the conversations whether
it’s around the food truck or just mingling at the sidelines on the bar getting to connect
with some of the guys you’ve been watching on YouTube and shaking their hands and getting
to know these genuine people.
[Music] Antonio: Do you think anyone noticed that
we’re like this close together because you couldn’t get away?
I felt like I was getting really close.
Baron: We should hug.
Antonio: We probably should hug.
Baron: But it looks good in the frame though, you know I know I like that.
Antonio: It does look good.
Baron: God, I look handsome.
Antonio: Really, we are damn good looking.
Let’s see, can we drink coffee together like at the same time.
Baron: Hmm.
Antonio: Hmm.
Yeah.
That was really good.
Baron: That’s good.
