Wearing solid colors is simple – solid shirt, solid pants, solid sweater. It’s easy and it works. But it can also be mundane. Adding patterns into the mix is a great way to showcase your personality and stand out from the crowd. Combining multiple patterns is a great way to showcase your sartorial skill and set yourself even further apart.
I was in a job interview once, and was thrown a curveball question – what was my favorite color? My curveball answer was “Gray.” The interviewer looked pretty confused as to why I’d choose, what many think, is a bland color. After explaining to him how versatile the color was, he then understood.
Gray is one of the best colors in your closet. It’s one of the only colors that pairs well with any color: black, white, brown, pink, green, etc. Doesn’t matter. This is why you need more gray in your closet, and it never fails when you’re in a pinch to find something to wear.
