Why don't guys dress colorfully?

[chintita]

[Phoenix98]

I dress in variety of colors they are just dark colors, navy blues, forest greens, dark reds and maroon which is my favorite color to wear I look awesome maroon anyway dark browns, grays, black, forestry greens and some lighter shades of tan/brown and of course white.

Like this is more along the lines of what I wear I also own most of these things as well lol.

These are the type of things and colors I like to wear personally.

[chintita]

that's exactly what i'm talking about, i'm so proud of you :') so fashionable

[Phoenix98]

Ah nice and thanks heh.

[Phoenix98]

Thanks.

People already sometimes assume I am gay for some inexplicable reason even though my clothes were grey but I was wearing a black/grey scarf. Imagine what would happen if I wore flamboyant colors too!

Maybe it's just that flamboyant colors are seen as flamboyant though. Learned behavior, really. Makes it easier to blend in.

[chintita]

not all colors are flamboyant, dark reds, blues, greens, oranges are manly

[Minxxie]

One shade too bright and their delicate masculinity will shatter and their self-image will be ruined and the word will explode!!! It's really silly but I've seen men absolutely lose their minds and scream at employees when they are given a pink plastic spoon at a frozen yogurt place. If a guy is confident in himself he can wear pastels and look amazing.

[SensualScribe]

I know plenty of men who dress in colors. Some colors are seen as society by more feminine, such as pink and purple and I do not see too many men wear those specific colors. But, I know plenty of men that wear other colors. My favorite color on my significant other is orange. It is my favorite color in general, but it looks really great on him.

[LittleSally]

A lot of them think it's 'gay' or takes too much effort to combine and they're lazy.

[chintita]

boo, boys should #dresstoimpress2k16

[LittleSally]

Their laziness trumps impressions. Haha

[Anonymous]

I do fairly often, i like it. And women don't mind it.

But when i wear a ton of black, even though objectively i don't look good in black, i still get more complements from women.

Women don't like men who look pretty, they like men who look powerful.

[chintita]

you can look powerful while still wearing colors, dark red, dark green, i'm not asking for neon just some accents

[Opinion Owner]

I understand you, but continue to report - straight up black seems to be most liked by the womens. IMHO, I look much better in dark blue, suits my coloring more.

[TheLuckyOne1]

I actually wear a green polo t shirt like this one lol

images.askmen.com/.../lacoste-pique-polo_4.jpg

[chintita]

yaay, that's a nice shade

[oddwaffle]

I guess because I don't really want to think about what I have to wear. I put on whatever works and just go. That means I just stick to my one formula white shirt and dark jeans.

[chintita]

doesn't that get repetitive?

[oddwaffle]

It does but I am a guy so I don't want to spend time thinking about what to wear. I might dress up a bit by changing to pants and a blue dress shirt if I need that business casual look or put on a tie and dress shoes for that formal look but my style is as simple as it gets.

My colors are exceedingly simple. Dark blue jeans and light colored shirts. Then I changed to white shirts because of my work and that suits me just fine.

[fueledbythc]

I never focus on fashion and wearing accessories. Just track pants, sweater and comfy shoes when being casual. If I went on a date I'd dress up for sure but not when I'm chilling with homies at the mall or going to school.

[chintita]

you should, it feels really good when you look good.

[fueledbythc]

To each their own. I feel more comfortable wearing comfy clothes and feel great about myself at the same time. Interestingly, I get women checking me out when I dont even try to look my best.

[MissHope]

I don't want my boyfriend to wear PINK! 😐😐😐 and he's free to wear whatever he wants but not PINK!!😐😐😐

[chintita]

pinks a cute color though

[MissHope]

Well yeah i changed my mind now 😂😂😂😍😍

[chintita]

hahaha

[MissHope]

😂😂😂

[Cosytoasty]

It depends where you're from, here in London that's a very common look in autumn.

[chintita]

i should move to london

[Cosytoasty]

Even we don't hold a candle to our Italian neighbours haha - They simply don't go out without looking well put together. European men in general are much more stylishly dressed that anywhere else in the world. Some people call it "gay" and would rather rock those running shoes with baggy jeans...

[chintita]

some angolan men are fashion conscious but the good majority stick with the running shoes and baggy jeans :(

[Cosytoasty]

Yeah, look at these two guys

www.liveinstyle.com/.../denims.JPG

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...8e573fbe00.jpg

Both are decent looking men, one ruins it completely with his fashion sense (or lack of). The "colourful" guy in blue and white looks better than the guy in black and grey.

[chintita]

first guy looks trashy second guy looks classy, good example

[Becky01]

because most don't care and color coordination just ain't their thing

[chintita]

it should be everybody's thing haha

[ConsultantIsBack]

I like different colors in jcrew, lacoste polos, vnecks

[chintita]

that's what i'm talking about *high five*

[Sabretooth]

my new outfit: . scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/.../...57309702_n.jpg got a richer sade of green pants... they were getting repaired at the time.

[Sabretooth]

i'm also not posing... it was just that i don't have a bigger mirror in my room

[chintita]

tbh i don't know what i'm looking at, are you wearing gauntlets and a knee guard?

[Sabretooth]

yeah. lemme guess, you gonna hate on me for that?

[chintita]

hahaha yeah, wtf are you in skyrim?

[Sabretooth]

i don't even play that game.

[Sabretooth]

lest i don't look like a hobo.

[Anonymous]

I hate it personally... I tend to wear black and white mostly or grey and brown.. in winter I always wear black clothes and black leather jacket and gloves... and in summer I wear those classic white t-shirts they use to wear under da shirt... and brown shorts...

Only ma pajamas are colorful... but I don't give a shit since nobody's seein' me...

[chintita]

... that's so sad and i feel bad for you. colors are meant to be worn!!

[Opinion Owner]

Why?

I dress like how I feel it represents me... also I hate expensive clothes... I always buy from discounts and flea markets... I don't like being dressed expensively...

[chintita]

it's not expensive, just pick the dark red t shirt instead of the black one next time guys should also #dresstoimpress2k16

[Opinion Owner]

I can impress a chick in various other ways obviously...

[xXiTacoXx]

That's colourful? Your colourful and my colourful must be two different colourfuls. xD

[Cloudy25]

The ones who dont probably just like things simple or fear they will end up looking like a flower explosion

[chintita]

but it's so pleasing to the eye when clothes are nice colors

[Cloudy25]

I like a little color but i also like it simple, but i get what u mean. I definitely like the first pic you posted but the second one.. not so much since i dont think pink is flattering on a guy.

[Anonymous]

i do. i dont have such inhibitions. i give no fucks about people's opinions.

[chintita]

finally :D

[the-mad-german]

got a light pink tie on my suit... what more do u want?

[James0]

I main colors are red black and white maybe some times dark blue because it's easy to mix and match for my warobe

[Prince_teddy4u]

People do dress up colorfully. Problem is, girls callcall us jokers for that. Better to be men in black.

[Anonymous]

I do sometimes but mostly because a lot of colors are difficult to use and i wear a lot of suits which i have 20 and most of them are black dark blue light gray and one is like a light pink but just looks good in the beach

[zagor]

I dress to stay warm and not get arrested for nudity. Beyond that I may go out the door in anything.

[SirenDep]

Some do, some don't. It's a matter of the undividual's taste

[Redstang88]

Guys do wear bright colours, and it usually looks pretty silly. Thats why we dont.

[chintita]

it doesn't look silly, you have to train your eyes to pick nice clothes
dm286ui7960ke.cloudfront.net/.../...5.53.15-PM.png

[Redstang88]

Oh if thats what you mean by color thats not bad. I figured you meant neon colours and crazy patterns.
But I really, truly do not give a damn about fashion. Just not interested.

[IceEverest]

Because dressing colourfully is associated with feminine behavior.
Clothes are a far cry, even a watch whose strap is thin is seen as feminine.

[chintita]

both of the guys above are masculine, colors belong to everyone not just women

[IceEverest]

I am not disagreeing or arguing with you I am saying about what is our societal construct.
I agree... but when I dress colourful people stare me...
Once I wore a watch with thin strip and my cousin sister teased me as "GIRLY"...

[chintita]

that's so dumb haha, i love guys wearing colorful clothes. i wish we were more like koreans who aren't afraid of color.

[IceEverest]

Do korean guys wear colourful clothes?

[chintita]

yeah, i don't know about civilians but their celebrities do.

[IceEverest]

Thats cool then... ha aha aha

[Sabretooth]

dude in pink looks like he's wearing make up and eye shadow...

[chintita]

@Sabretooth even if he was, he's still hot and probably gets all the girls

[Sabretooth]

they do love wasting their time with unrealistic challenges.

[chintita]

@Sabretooth he's not necessarily gay just because he's better looking than most guys, i honestly think guys need to start wearing makeup too. lose the hypermasculinity in exchange for good looks lmao

[Sabretooth]

good luck with that.

[existing_not_living]

Lol, I don't dress colorfully.

[chintita]

:( not even blues?

[existing_not_living]

Most times you will see me in black, haha.

[Jayjax211233]

No offense but we don't take time and the effort that girl's do we like thing's that are clean and that is clothes that kinda go together we don't fret about clothes like girls do

[Anonymous]

I think it's cause they are afraid of gay comments. I don't know though.

[EltDark]

I don't dress colourfully because it doesn't suit me.
I feel that dark coloured clothing, however, does.

[takumii]

I just wear colors that I like.

[chintita]

what colors are those?

[takumii]

Red blue and black :3

[Keyslayers]

Why dont chu take a look at ma HAWT pix? And maybe hold ma hand perhaps? Cuz u nvr know when ill be the perfect man for u 😘

[XNicholeMariex3]

YEAH WTF
They need to taste the fucking rainbow!

[chintita]

ikr, it makes me sad. if i were a guy i'd dress nicer

[Redshift]

No thanks. Keep your "fucking rainbow". xD

[XNicholeMariex3]

@Redshift heyyy Phantom of the Opera 😘

[Redshift]

Finally someone who knows ;)

[XNicholeMariex3]

@Redshift I'd hope so, that is my favorite musical. 😁

[justbanANNAz]

some do actually... #generalisation...570

[chintita]

i know but i wish they ALL did occasionally, it's so nice to look at.

[TheLuckyOne1]

Hey, do you really count them?

[justbanANNAz]

@TheLuckyOne1 sort of :)

[RubisitaMamasita]

They wear what they want like everyone else

[ShaeNielson]

Cause it looks stupid?

[chintita]

gtfo of here, in no way does those guys look stupid. hot, yeah. stupid? hahaa

[ShaeNielson]

I think it looks pretty ridiculous

[chintita]

says the chick with a profile pic of a man with a braided mowhawk, i mean wtf is that? jesus

[ShaeNielson]

That's Ragnar Lothbrok from the show "Vikings"..

That really is a stupid argument though, they're two completely different things. If I say I don't like cats and I can still like dogs, I mean wtf?

[chintita]

well, i'm just questioning your taste... we obviously don't share it

[ShaeNielson]

You act like I insulted your grandmother..

[chintita]

you're indirectly encouraging guys to wear black all day, it's a personal affront i should call the fashion police on you

[ShaeNielson]

Black is not the only colour that isn't screaming like red or blue. Also I don't care, if they wanna dress like Santa they can go ahead, I am just one individual with one opinion.

[_lululemonxx]

hard to pull off. looks feminine

[Grace_Rdz]

Some of them do, I'm a girl & I don't.

[apple24]

bc they don't have swag! lol LOL!

[CoolSky01]

cause its gay

[chintita]

because colors= wanting to have sex with another man? woww...

[CoolSky01]

no not really, gay is a word we use to describe ridiculous things and looking fabulous looks good on a woman but not on a man.

[chintita]

both guys above are dressed manly and sexy and not ridiculous at all. i'm not asking for guys to wear girl clothes, just brighten up their wardrobe with some blues and reds. not neon, just dulcet tones.

[Anonymous]

Black is great on them

[chintita]

not all the time, it looks depressing if it's worn everyday

[Opinion Owner]

Hmm i like anyway

[james_mark]

I do but not pink
