    I don't really care for white clothing. I have a couple of white shirts for very formal occasions, but not much else. I don't think I have ever worn purple... can you even buy purple clothes?

    I prefer black, gray and white stuff. If colours, anything dark or bleak will do.

    Anything too bright just doesn't suit me.

    I'm wearing a purple-ish shirt today :grin: which is about the brightest I'll get.

    Pink - I don't know...just not really a color I care much for

    Yellow - there is something about it that I just don't like...

    I like orange, especially in combination with blue/turquoise. Perfect, happy complementary colors that make one appear fresh, vibrant and mischievous.

    I don't really like black. Other than that, I like wearing all colours.

    That's a nice shirt, and from my second favourite store (after River Island).

    I probably wouldn't look good in brown, yellow or orange. I rather not wear white just because it gets dirty fast and I'm allergic to bleach so it's hard to clean

    I rarely wear pastels too - I don't they they look good with pale skin, I think they leave you looking washed out. Now it may work in a sort of "harajuku girl"/pastel goth manner, but no, not for me.

    I don't wear pink as I think it clashes with everything plus I think whenever I see pink on a man it always looks like they are making some sort of "statement". Either: a. some gender/sexuality statement or b. "I'm wearing pink ironically because I'm a macho man, isn't this edgy/funny". Either way, be it pastel or bright pink, its a very bold colour choice - its rarely subtle.

    Yellow as a shirt is probably the only color I don't really like (I do have an oxford in yellow, but only because I wanted to have every color in my collection :lol:slight_smile:.

    As for black, with the exception of a black polo shirt I own and a suit that is very, very, very, very, very dark charcoal, I don't own true black clothing. I HATE black button-downs, especially the "prom-looking ones" of sateen black "dress shirts." Also, for ties, I only have one black (bow) tie, but it's only used in a very specific situation.

    Most of the time I casually wear chinos (shorts and pants) and polos or oxford shirts. I have almost every color of the rainbow. Yeah, I have pink khakis and shorts. While some clothing can be considered a bit "bold," I never really considered it "gay" because that's the same way my dad dresses (casually). I took my dressing cues from him. Plus, living in a relatively hot and humid region of the country makes one appreciate light-colored cotton fabrics.

    I hate wearing bright red! It just doesn't suit me at all.

    I never wear yellow or orange, as they just accentuate my paleness and make me feel uncomfortable because they are so bright!

    I would say that my wardrobe is quite colourful (very few black and white items beyond some formal things and some sportswear), but I tend to go for quite subdued colours - greens, blues, browns, darker reds. I don't tend to go for anything orange or bright yellow, but I don't necessarily dislike these colours. I also don't wear pink things; call me a bad excuse for a gay man, but the colour doesn't suit me and I don't tend to like the colour itself. However I do have a pair of pink socks that somebody once bought me for Christmas (this person is someone I dread getting gifts from as they usually tend to be well-meaning but a bit meh). I also really hate bright neon colours as they seem crass to me.

    I don't like wearing clothes that are all the exact same shade of colour. It just looks weird to me, unless it's a suit. I also don't like bright yellow.

    Reds because they don't go with my complexion. Also generally tend to avoid bright colours. I think they can look great but I don't have the courage to wear em.

    I don't really wear black, white or pink. White is because of how transparent it is, black is dull to me (and attracts the sun rays also...) and pink, well, I don't know.

    Thanks :slight_smile: And yes I really like Topman and River Island as well. Unfortunately we don't have any stores here, but good thing there's the internet :grin:
