Chaps, can you colour coordinate clothing?

[htid]

I think I can, but maybe I'm just kidding myself! My girlfriend seems to think I dress well so I must be at least halfway there.

[ScottY_]

I think im pretty good at colour co-ordinating, hell im doing graphic design, i bloody should be.

[Rave]

TTIUWP, and you knows it.

I have an absolute pearler somewhere, in which I'm sporting the shirt, the jeans, and a freshly bleached strawberry blonde barnet, but my scanner is broken. If I get time I'll dismantle it on Thursday and see what I can do.

[headbrace]

Please.

Please chaps, don't wear black on black. Just, don't do it. And definately don't wear a black shirt and then a light tie. In fact, don't wear a tie that's lighter than your shirt unless you're definitely sure of it.

And don't wear matching shirt and tie combos, otherwise you look like Chris Tarrant. And that's not a good thing.

White shirts are ok, but only if you're going for the 1950's FBI/IBM kind of look, which worked for Tom Hanks in Catch Me If You Can, but then he was a 1950's FBI guy, so go figure. Don't wear them with "crazy" patterned ties. In fact, don't wear crazy patterned ties.

Don't get me started on short sleeved shirts....

40% of people on a tech forum reckoning they can dress them self properly.
Never heard utter nonsense like it

I can. That's why I have a huge bag full of about 30 clothing items when I have a night away from home. I can't decide on what to wear 1/2 the time, nevermind what goes with what.

This is why it takes me an hour to get ready before I go out

Apparently I've a good eye for colour, most the comments about any art work I do seem to be on how good the colours work, but I'm not sure if this translates to clothing for me, I've an interview tomorrow and I'm wearing a black shirt, black trousers and maybe a gunmetal coloured tie, I guess they go.

You're the only guy I've seen turn up to a BBQ wearing a suit & tie though
I will let you off.

[dave87]

I dunno, I can either get it reasonably right, or terribly wrong. Usually the former. Taking female mates clothes shopping is probably the best practice, as otherwise I'm lost (funny how the sense of direction thing works for men everywhere except in shops....)

That was only as I came straight from a previous engagement and I was debating whether or not to get changed on the train but I thought there might have been some ladies there so I left it as I was...



Turns out the BBQ was a sausage-fest.... quite literally he had to throw a load away lol

[TooNice]

^ Yea, I've tried to pull a superman before, only to be caught wearing not a whole lot

[g8ina]

I just wear blue or black, end of story.

[Gr44]

everything I buy is a nice bland colour so it all looks fine together. Go me xD

[tiggerai]

There he is! Where's he gone? There he is! Where's he gone? There he is! Where's he gone? There he is! Where's he gone? There he is! Where's he gone? There he is! Where's he gone? There he is! Where's he gone? There he is! Where's he gone? etc...

That's a really wide zebra crossing.

I never go shopping with women as they like to do what I call the "bee" method of shopping, flitting from shop to shop only to return to the first shop and purchase the 3rd item they tried on and they ALWAYS try to make us fella's do this as well.

When I go it is planned with SAS like precision. I'm in the shop, grabbing the item and walking to the tills within 2 minutes flat.

Speaking of shopping... I need some more baggy skate style pants for winter as they don't half keep you warm, plus they are uber comfy

Thats just being silly. White shirts are great... but only nice thick oxford cotton ones. They go with just about anything too. you can wear them with jeans or shorts without an issue

Novelty ties and socks are just so, sooooo wrong....
