Collectively, it creates a masculine and easy color palette every man can easily wear and replicate.
Hints Of Reds Accents

The color maybe bold but when subdued with a serious outfit, it creates a great combination. Weather it is a watch or a cardigan, red will stand out. Let it serve as the only accent or contrasting color. Let the other colors you wear make it support colors only to enhance the accent of red.

Less Bling, More Metal
Wearing jewelry has been associated with rappers and rockers. Make your jewelry selection less about trying to outshine everyone else, pick ones that are completing to your outfit. Silver and gunmetal are easy to wear because they don’t attract too much attention. While gold will stand out no matter what, however be subtle with gold.
