Color pants are one fundamental of a good style, but shopping for them is no fun! It’s annoying to try them on, and the chances of it going wrong are so goddamn high. Right?
With just one google search, I found tons of blog posts nagging about various problems they have when shopping for pants and I agree with every single one of them!
Well, The problem gets worse if you don’t have/buy the essential colors, you are constantly shopping for pants for this style or that style and it NEVER seems to be enough! That is a hell of a lot of work and an absolute nightmare if you ask me! Well, I have a solution for you all.!
In this blog post I explain:
- Why You don’t need many colored pants for a good style
- Tell you what colored pants are essential to have
- What to wear with each colored pants and how to style them
Why you don’t need many colored pants for a good style?
To answer this question, let me first explain the clothing variety hierarchy.
Clothing Variety Hierarchy, The big picture
To make stylish looks, you need the have a variety of clothing. Some upper body clothing, some lower body, and some accessories. We all agree up to here. Well, there is a correlation among these three, as you see in the graphic below.
As you can see, you need the greatest variety for upper-body clothing such as jackets, blazers, tops, dress shirts, anything that you wear to cover your upper body.
For lower-body clothing, you do not need as many options to create good looks. This includes anything you wear on your lower-body such as pants, shorts, skirts, etc.
Last comes accessories. This group includes your bags, belts, jewelry, watches, and anything you wear to accessorize your style. You need the least variety for this kind of stuff. Don’t forget where we are talking about the essentials you need. A wide variety of these can benefit you, but you don’t need them to look good.
Point: You need the highest variety of upper body clothing, less for lower body clothing, and the least for accessories.
Now back to our topic. As I mentioned the number of color pants, you need is 6.
What are the 6 colors?
1. Black
Duh, black is probably the most important color to have! It’s classy, easy to style, and goes well with many styles.
Basically, when in doubt, pair with black!
2. Beige
3. Grey
4. Camel
5. Ivory
6. Dark Blue
This is it!
All you need to create casual looks, work style and even formal styles. Get these colors and save yourself a lot of time and money!
