I find this very negative. I'm sorry. It's just that you don't have to wear so much color to look good. Sometimes, it's better to be simple and classy. also, you can't really tell people what to wear. Maybe they're wearing something "boring" because they think it's safe or maybe it's just their style, you just have to respect that.

I completely agree, sing it brother!~ Do you know how hard it is to find boxers or other kind of clothing as a MAN in the MEN section that doesn't make me want to puke?

I love colors, both muted and BRIGHT!~

It is not the color or material of the clothes, but how they are worn.

A nice pair of well fitting jeans, with the right shirt (and maybe jacket), shoes, etc, can look very good.

On the other hand, worn out, dirty, baggy jeans, sneakers, and a t-shirt that appears slept in is going to look sloppy no matter what colors they are.

Of course, if you want color and out of the ordinary style, you could start to wear kilts.

Strange! I'm a people and I couldn't care less what's popular. I wear what is good quality, comfortable and suits me.

Everyone? Generalities are seldom true, though you have my sympathy if you're surrounded only by people who dress in a boring manner which, I'm assuming, would include yourself.

Jeans are blue for a reason. Blue is the most neutral color to wear. For instance, I'm a "winter"...I look good in black, white, and red. I look awful in yellow, orange, and tan..."fall" colors.

Blue doesn't belong in any of the clothing color classes. No one looks good or bad in basic blue. If you get into baby blue or midnight blue, then thats a different story.

I'm sorry, I didn't get to finish my thought before. What disapoints me about the selection in the "Men's" clothing section is the LACK of choices! Although, brown, forest green, and camoflage are great colors for blending into a forest environment avoiding predators.

Oh, and me personally, I LOVE STAINS, RIPS, AND HOLES, they make the clothes to me seem like they have been "lived in" and like they have a history!

Hippies wore dirty jeans and t-shirts. Never saw any military uniforms or anything interesting. There are always a few people around who think of their clothing as an artistic statement, regardless of the year. But most adults are wearing clothing so we aren't naked and just want to blend.

I like boring clothes. (on me)

I do not like wild prints, I don't like most colors.

My FIL wears those hideous Haw shirts, they are loud and obnoxious, and plain ugly.

I do like camoflauge prints though, but as a middle age man, no, I don't wear loud clothing at all.
and I don't wear many colors either, as to many colorful things makes my stomach queesy....
