Hello everyone! I am Image Consultant Zhao Sir. Men’s dressing style cannot be based on feelings. Follow me! Scientific dressing starts with understanding the characteristics of yourself and your clothing!
Many men will have such printed patterns POLO shirts . They think that as long as they choose any color in the pattern, they can match it. In fact, this is a misunderstanding !
The two matching sets below are all upper body pictures of business models. The matching is actually very and looks like cheap , without any sense of high-end! The reason for this combination is that it is believed that and black and white will not go wrong at least . In fact, this is also a misunderstanding of and in color matching. (After reading the article, you will understand why these two sets of clothes look cheap when matched together)
So how should printed POLO shirts be matched to look high-end? First of all, you have to analyze its characteristics and understand its matching principles, and finally you can truly control the matching of printed patterns!
This article uses the above two POLO shirts as examples. After learning the matching principles, I believe you will not be afraid of printed clothes, but can easily control them to make yourself look younger and younger in appropriate occasions. More fashionable.

1: Analysis of the characteristics of printing patterns
1: Analysis of the characteristics of printing patterns
A concept that needs to be clear before analyzing printing patterns is tone (you will understand after watching it for a minute, for matching) Very valuable)
For example: the Morandi color system above looks old, like a layer of gray, with a retro feel! Looking at each color individually, it has a characteristic that is soft and elegant, and using a tone to describe its characteristic is soft tone. Because each color in the Morandi color series above
has soft tonal characteristics, the tone is unified, so any two colors in the Morandi color series are very comfortable and high-end when paired together.
Key points: The core matching principle in color matching is tonal unity.
In other words, there are no colors in the world that cannot be matched, as long as the tones behind them are consistent!
There are 6 major color directions, which are subdivided into 12 characteristics:
Dark color direction: deep warm, dark cold
Light color direction: light warm, light cold
Net color direction: net warm, net cold
Soft tone direction: soft warm tone, soft cold tone
Warm tone direction: warm bright tone, warm soft tone
Cold tone direction: cool bright tone, cold soft tone
Clearly understand the importance of tone, these two printing patterns What color is it?
The printing pattern on the left has a yellowish flavor, while the right has a bluish flavor. The color on the left is relatively soft and elegant, while the color on the right is relatively clear and bright. The colors of the two pieces have strong characteristics.
The one on the left has the characteristics of warm, soft and deep warm tones, while the one on the right has the characteristics of clean, dark and cold tones. According to the principle of color unity, the color matching of the two POLO shirts will not match as long as one of the same tones. Something will go wrong.
Here you only need to know the tones of the printing patterns. As for why these tones are used, there are more concepts involved. I will share them separately later. If you are interested, pay attention first!
The cool-toned one on the left is relatively comfortable when paired with the same cool-toned blue-gray shorts, while the warm-toned POLO shirt on the right looks older when paired with the same pants. The reason is that the colors are not uniform.
is paired with warm-toned pants. The left side is overall comfortable, while the right side looks a bit rustic.
I believe you have a certain feeling about the unity of tone. Let’s match these two POLO shirts according to this matching principle to see what the overall effect is.
2: Analysis of matching ideas
Although there is no brownish-red color in the top, it does not affect the overall harmony. Because of the unity of the tone, the top paired with darker pants and shoes will have a darker, warmer and softer tone. , paired with a brown casual bag, the watch also has a gold dial and a brown strap. The color selection of each item is based on whether the tone is uniform.
Pair it with the same brown-red leather shoes for a more visual sense of extension. If your legs are not long, this combination will be good. If your legs are long, you can choose the olive green or blue shoes above to create a visual balance in the upper and lower proportions. Effect.
single product POLO shirts look very fancy, but because of the unified color tone, the overall look is stable. Because of the unified color tone, each item looks textured, and the overall sense of high-end is naturally born.
This kind of matching is preferred for people with dark and warm tones. Secondly, people with warm and soft tones are also good. People with other tones should not try it. For example, people with light tones will look old-fashioned. (There are related links below about human tones)
The second set is not because there is khaki inside the top, but because khaki has the characteristics of warm and soft tones, so the overall matching will be very harmonious. The nude shoes and pants are close in color, and the overall It is fashionable and elegant at the same time. Although it is paired with the same bag and watch, the overall emphasis is on warm and soft tones, so it is the best choice for men with warm and soft tones.
The third set is matched with light brown because of the color tone. With light brown leather shoes, the bag and watch are unified in tone, but the overall matching also needs to consider the style, such as the same light brown leather shoes, Different styles have different matching effects. What style is suitable for this set of clothes? It involves the style issue of , which will be analyzed separately later. If you are interested, pay attention first.
Set 4: As analyzed earlier, this piece has the characteristics of net tones, cold tones, and dark tones. For example, if paired with beige pants, it will tend to have the characteristics of net tones, emphasizing the characteristics of clear, translucent and clean colors. Therefore, when choosing watches, I also choose transparent and clear watch details. The same is true for bags and shoes.
The matching of the fifth set is different from the first set of red trousers. This red trousers is darker, but not yellowish or bluey, so the overall look is characterized by dark colors (including deep warm and dark cold tones) You can all do it), you should have some clues as to why they are paired with dark red leather shoes, why they choose this bag and this watch. The overall richness of
gives it a deep warm tone. Men with dark and cold tones will look very good when wearing it. Similarly, men with non-dark tones will look old-fashioned to varying degrees.
The sixth set is designed to be worn by people with cool tones, so the selection of gray-blue shorts, shoes, bags and watches are all designed to create the characteristics of cool tones. Including the dial of the watch, all are cool-toned red. Men with cold-toned clothes will look particularly high-end and tasteful, while men with warm-toned clothes will look out of place and tacky.
Finally, we combine the principle of color unity to analyze the problem of matching the two models. The top on the left is in a cool color, while the pants and shoes are in a warm color, while the top on the right is in a warm color, and the black one does not have the characteristics of warm colors. That's why it feels cheap. If you replace these two pairs of pants, it will be perfect.
Summary: Whether it is a combination of monochrome or printed patterns, the core principle of color matching is the same, which is to first understand the tonal characteristics of the single product and then achieve uniform tones.
have all seen this. If the article is helpful to you, I need you to give it a thumbs up.
