Trek, are you talking about cycling attire or business attire?
If it's cycling attire, I agree. There are ....hmmmm....anatomical....hmmmm....reasons that a man should choose black cycling shorts (there's been a post about this one before
with pictures
...and I really felt sorry for one of the guys
), but I'm all for bright jerseys. I got a collection of Royal Blue that I never wear...favoring bright yellow instead. In addition, my riding jacket is florescent lime green.
If it's business attire, colors don't work. Suits are expensive. A man can wear two different dark suits all week and no one would know. If I had a two week rotation of suits of different colors, I'd have nearly $8,000 wrapped up in suits @ $800/each. I'm going to stick with dark and bland. Besides, bright suits are so 80's...and generally require polyester double-knit
I wear dark suits, starched white shirts, striped ties, grey socks, and black shoes. Every work day
If it's casual, I have a collection of LaCoste shirts ...including pink, lavender, sunflower...looking at their website, it seems their colors are a bit muted this season...
...but I'll post a picture of my casual socks collection...you'll like!
But 'oy...this will get us off on a utilikilt tangent again
