This month’s GQ is one of the best we’ve seen in a long time. One of our favorite articles was about throwing on bright colors. Bright colors create a sartorial conundrum. They’re awesome and we love them, but they can make you look absolutely absurd when done improperly. The best advice for throwing on a bold color is to make sure that you’re keeping it fairly basic otherwise. Keep the suit and the tie simple in color. You can use a bold patterned tie — the pattern pops next to the color — provided that the colors in the tie are still pretty neutral (see above photo as an example). So keep the tie smart, and the suit simple and you’ll be able to throw some pop into your look. There’s no one in the game that can pull off bold colors better than Ozwald Boateng, so we’ve put up a couple of his pics below to let you know what’s up. We’ve also added some of our favorite bold colored shirts for your convenience.
