Short skirts, cold beer, and tasty barbecued food are only a few of the elements that make summer enjoyable for most of us. The warmer temperatures and longer days seem to put a smile on everyone’s face, which is pretty much contagious. Yet there’s one aspect of the sunny season that puzzles me every year: Why do men generally have such a hard time choosing seasonal colors that go well together?

Could it be the effects of heat exhaustion? Or, maybe it’s simply because men don’t care about the way they dress. Nonetheless, whatever the reason may be, read up and find out which colors are in this summer, and which ones should be matched with one another.

First, let’s find out which shades can help spruce up your wardrobe this summer.

Neutral colors

Neutral colors can be combined with nearly every shade and color. Here are some of the nicest neutral colors available this summer:

Softly tinted pales

Softly tinted pales or pastels will provide you with a gentle, subtle look. They can also easily be combined with most neutrals and darks. Look for these softly tinted pales this summer:

Mid-tone series

Combine mid-tone colors with whites for a crisp look, or with taupe-based neutrals for a softer, more comfortable look. Choose from these mid-tone colors:

Deep brights

“Deep brights” are generally seen on women, but this summer all colors are “in” for men. Try one of these deep bright colors:

Offbeat colors

Offbeat colors are drawn from vegetables and minerals. They can provide a rustic or sophisticated look, depending on how you wear them. Here are some of the nicer offbeat colors to choose from this summer:

Darks

Darks are generally more popular during colder seasons, however, when combined with neutrals like cement, blued gray, putty, or khaki, they can make a major impact for summer. Try out these dark colors:

Wild colors

Colors, colors and more colors. This summer’s all about wearing distinctive hues, so you might want to show off tops in colors such as ivory, lavender, lilac, lemon yellow, mint green, light blue, and grayish or coral pink. Then again, wild colors might not suit everyone’s taste and style, so make sure you feel comfortable wearing them before buying them.

Now how do you match these colors?

Hope you can have a better choice.
