Men's Fashion: Learn the Art of Color Coordination

To have style, you must choose clothes and accessories that harmonize sensibly (for example, pairing a dress shirt with Bermuda shorts is an unforgivable fashion faux pas). Most importantly, they should have colors that complement each other. If the colors clash, your outfit will be judged negatively by others. To make a good impression, combine your clothing wisely!

Matteo Caprio: A Style Icon Who Inspires Us

Some men have the knack for turning heads with their unique style. At Ernest, we love the outfits of content creator Matteo Caprio (mr.matteocaprio). The young Montreal-based dad, passionate about fashion and coffee, works with several local brands — including Ernest! — to create flawless ensembles. We asked him to create an outfit based on the theme of color coordination. Here’s the result!

Light and comfortable, it offers a modern touch with its solid beige color, discreet white lines, a pocket, and a semi-spread collar. He wears this at the start of the video (he shows two outfit options).
