The Aesthetic: Neutral Threads

If you own anything like the hoody above, I want you to go into your closet right now, grab it, and throw it out the window. Hopefully a homeless person will use it to stay warm. If you happen to be homeless, rocking a colorful BAPE hoody, and reading this post, it better be cold outside.

As I get older I can't help but become more and more disgusted with colored clothing. Does your shirt really need to be blue, red and and yellow? Whose idea was it to go combine more than two colors on one piece of clothing? What's wrong with you fam? Even god doesn't like more than two colors on one thing. You see a lot of tri-colored fruit out there? One color shirts are straight. Rocking a red v-neck? Feel you on that. It's the overly bright sneakers and multi-colored jackets that really grind my gears.

In 2005, I did exactly that. My hoodies were all over print and my shoes were gold. It was more a product of my age than the fashion at the time. I've realized over the past few years that some colors are ripe for any occasion and can never go out of style. That's why I wear neutral colors 95% of the time. You can't go wrong black, grey, white or any of the neutral earth tones. If I could, I'd strictly rock my grey tri-blend from American Apparel. If you're older than 22, step your neutral game up. Aside from black white, here are some of the neutral colors you should be fuxing with.

Rocking that 5564 scarf with that 3274 sweater is all good. Just don't throw them all together on one cardigan. Better yet...cop that black jacket, those dark jeans, that white T, those steel grey high tops and hit the town, brotha.
