Men... Wear more colour!

Colour colour colour, usually it is hidden away from mens fashion, and more adapted to the women's fashion.
However this S/S that has all changed with a lot of collections promoting colour, wether it is compact onto a top or worn as a trouser, all we know is colour is a must for men this S/S.
Through geometric shapes, or symmetrical patterns, they are all showing colour in most high street shops. American Apparel (always striving with colour), H&M (have many average high street prices for a decent piece of clothing), just shop round even look in charity shops, you could surprise yourself, as I did today when i found a beautiful shirt, however I would not class it to fitting in the category of colour.
Over men, we have to get the colour out, we can't be getting out a pair of old worn away, dark tone shorts, buy a new pair. It is very cheap to get a colour pair of shorts from your nearest high street shop. However don't worry as the colour is only for mixing with darker toned clothing.
Above three simple colour wheels (http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/color-wheel-menswear/) base your next S/S wardrobe on these colours. I would stay away from the Tint colours as they come across as too feminine, however small pieces of clothing such as socks you could just about get away with. 
The other two colour wheels are however what you should be focusing on the most, pulling out the colours, red, blue, green and blue and maybe mixing them with the shade colours. What this will do is help tone down the hue colours, so it will look like to the eye (or rather someone else) that you are not trying to blind them with colour. As well as the colours from shade helping the hue colours to be toned down, we do need to remember however we can make perfectly good tonal outfits this S/S with just the colours from the shade section.
