Style direction
Men’s classic style
This is your palette
Nothing in the outfit asks for attention.
You dress so that nobody remembers the clothes, only that you looked right. Plain shapes in good cloth, neutrals that work with each other, and fit doing the talking. The risk is looking dull; the cure is texture, and one colour from your palette near the face.
