“When choosing formal wear, what colors are best?”

 -Senior Hunter Hartman

Dear Hunter,

Men’s formal wear can be tricky, but I have a few helpful tips for you. Make sure that your clothes are fitted correctly, a baggy suit or tux could make you seem sloppy or unorganized. Also you should make sure your socks match, and your belt and shoes should match as well for a classy look. Shoes should always be in the best condition possible. Pants should hit right at the ankle, and your socks should never be visible when sitting down. You should be able to sit or cross your legs comfortably while still looking like you have proper fitting attire. If you need someone to help tie your tie, a good friend or family member is great to have around for extra help. A tie is too small if it stops in the middle of your abdomen. YouTube videos are also extremely helpful if you are not sure on how to tie a tie. As far as colors for formal wear go, limit yourself to wearing no more than three colors at a time. The colors in your outfit should be complementary or analogous. Complimentary colors opposite each other on the color wheel. Analogous colors are the colors adjacent to each other. Color wheels can easily be found on the internet. Hopefully that helped!

Your fashionable friend,

Alexandra
