Colour coordination is my biggest rule. I don't rigidly adhere to it - not everything has to match, but I'll usually try to match at least two of the items I'm wearing, and unless I'm really slobbing out, will never wear more than two colours.
Coordination is particularly important for me when it comes to accessories, which have to match the dominant colour theme of the outfit. I will always accessorise if I'm dressing up. It might be as simple as a bandanna tied round the wrist, or a sweatband, but there will always be some kind of accessory present if I've decided its an event.
Accessorise the right side in preference to the left.
I have a thing for powder blue. Particularly in the form of suits.
Never wear red with green. Nor navy with black. Avoid light coloured trousers with dark tops.
Trousers must always bunch slightly on top of shoes.
A hat, when worn, should always colour match with one other item of clothing.
If shirt is worn tucked in, a belt should always be worn.
Shoes should not look too big - i.e. if tight trousers are worn, shoes should be slim fitting and dark coloured so as to be unobtrusive.
Shoes to be Nike wherever possible.
Things I will never wear: combat trousers, trucker hats, trenchcoats, skate shoes, suede shoes of any sort, waistcoats, pleated trousers, topsiders, doctor martens, fishing hat/sunhat/remi hat, round sunglasses, ripped jeans (unless its that semicircle at the back where they slip under my shoes, or unless they were bought that way i.e. designer rips), velvet, paisley, calvin klein, versace, armani, river island, fubu, and loads more... |
