Very, very, very few caucasian males look good in red. Very few non-caucasian males look good in red either, for that matter. Most of the time when I see a guy wearing a red t-shirt, I feel like jumping out at him and telling him his shirt is doing him no favors, and just makes him look cheap and chintzy.

Long, long before I got into clothes, I had a pale yellow polo shirt that was a hand-me-down. I always got depressed whenever I saw myself in a mirror, because I looked so bad in it. Eventually I figured out not to wear it.

Orange is my favorite color, however, so I wear that alot, plus I don't think it clashes too badly with my skin tone. Straight orange, though, no canteloupe or red-orange.

Green and perhaps brown are the two colors I would try to dabble with more if I so felt inclined to try something different right now.
Some sort of desaturated green is always my go-to-color choice. I think blonde guys generally look good in brown, but it's not something I've dabbled in too much. I'd like to buy brown boots, but I don't have anything to match it up top for the time being.

I don't understand why this forum goes on and on about quality, but then so many here love band of outsiders. Honestly I think a shirt from walmart would hold up better; I've had stitching just pop off on one of the oxfords, and of course the buttons all fall off on the fourth or so wear. Their isn't even much quality in the cloth either, feels like **** compared to my Acorn fabric oxfords. Buttons are sometimes plastic as well. Just don't get it; fit wise I could get the fit going into any girls store...

I'm surprised you're so hard on red, but sold on orange. Not sure I get it...

Band's selling point seems to be its slim cut. But I've only seen the shirts look good on really slender people. With MJK, Epaulet, and WvsG really coming into their own, I'm not sure why anyone around here would even consider supporting Band.

Red is my t shirt and polo color. I'm asian though.

I look good in red chambray too, but I don't have one right now.

Me to brother. In fact, because of my beautiful cinnamon skin tone I look good in just about any color.

I honestly don't think Band shirts look that great from the examples that I've seen from people wearing them. It looks like something they kept from middle school and just barely managed to still fit it.
