Whites:

No matter what your profession, age, or demeanor is, whites are essential in the wardrobe of any man; white shirts make up a substantial portion of most male wardrobes, and with the summer here in full swing, it’s only fair that they find a home in your closet too. A symbol of effortless elegance, grace, and forever in style, the white color isn’t just the most straightforward ticket to class. It’s a subtle fashion statement but a strong one at that.

Millennial Pink:

Once considered the epitome of manliness, the color pink was feminized during the 20th century; since then, it became a trademark of all things girly and made its way into becoming the girl-pop-culture symbol it is, until recently. With the advent of the millennial generation, pink has started to make its way back into men’s wear, especially the grittier groove of the millennial pink, which is a beat we can all dance to.

Sage Green:

Green has slowly but surely become a mainstay almost as much as black. Its versatility allows it to be paired with just as many colors and shades as the ever-popular monochromes. Again, venturing slightly to the darker side, a sage green shirt adds a muscular, masculine punch to your formal attire, making you stand out from the crowd.

Pastel Purple:

The fact that purple is often overlooked as the obvious choice for men is easily understandable as pop culture has long associated it with cartoonish characters in Disney Movies (think fortune-tellers and almost all villains from the 90s. But make no mistake about it: some hues of purple, such as the pastel shade in formal-wear are a sure shot way of stepping into the spotlight, and the subtlety and sophistication of a pastel purple shirt paired with a pair of blue or black pants is a sure shot way to announce your presence without ever saying a word.

New Day Neutrals:

Summers are all about feeling light, and what better way to look light than literally wearing what you’re feeling on your sleeve with some neutral shades? Beige may not be the ideal color for a pool party, but it is a shoo-in in a corporate setting. Throw on a light camel colored shirt and pair it with white tapered trousers for a flawlessly awe-inspiring look.

Light Blue:

Blue is associated with calm, peace, and cool, which are essential for having a good day in this scorching heat. Light blue shades feel superb and look just as soothing to the onlooker. They are a surefire way of lightening the mood in any heated formal meeting, whether striped, checkered, or plain. It isn’t cool unless it’s blue!
