HOW TO WEAR WASHED-OUT TONES

Gents, if you’re not feeling head-to-toe neon and you’re not quite ready to represent a snakeskin-print shirt, we got you. There’s another flavor running through the season, one that's made up the SS19 runways of Sunnei, E.Tautz and Lou Dalton — guys, it’s spring personified. Alongside the more neutral, beige hues of the season, bolder colors are getting the stripped-back treatment too. Keep on scrollin’ for our three ways to wear washed-out, colorful gear...

Abstract concepts

Color is key — so the oversized shirt, complete with abstract clashing above is a perfect place to start. The mix of lighter blues and stoney hues tone the overall look down for a more relaxed vibe, much like our man above’s lean against that wall. Make sure you tuck your tee in so your color-coordinated gear is fully on display. Now, dadcore sneaks are going nowhere for SS19 so cop a pair in a neutral palette to match the look (and everything else you own too).

Staple update

This season, it’s all about broadening your color choices and, thankfully, it’s never been easier. Take this washed-lilac hoodie for instance. Swap out your trusty gray pullover for this and it’s a one-step update to your spring look. The denim’s gotta be washed out, yeah, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick your true-blues. Just peep those jeans in a tan hue for proof. For adding a touch of '90s-skater-styling, cop a webbed belt and get down to that half-pipe...or not, you know. To finish, some optic-white sneaks will ensure your ‘fit’s at peak freshness. Always.

Denim do-over

If you’re feeling a full embrace of living a more colorful existence this season, well, buddy, you’re in luck. Check out that classic denim jacket updated in a bold, orange finish but washed-out for an almost sun-bleached vibe. If that’s not enough color, pair with a pale-yellow tee for steezy lemon-sherbet vibes. Even sportswear’s getting in on the act with those lilac joggers from Nike. Keep the athleisure hype going strong and cop a pair of sneakers complete with matching orange accents.
