First off - I'm not complaining about the lack of exploration with colour I see in the WAYWT thread, I'm just curious - why?
It seems to me the majority of people who post fit pics here don't seem willing to explore colour in their clothing. Again, I'm not criticising - there is nothing wrong with being reserved and sticking to the traditionally stylish, safe colour choices - but why is it nobody seems to try anything wacky?
Generally the photos I see here consist of safe, plain colours.
Is it because people are afraid of seeming camp? There's nothing wrong with it, but obviously if you're a heterosexual male you don't want to be sending the wrong message out. Paired with the right colours you can easily pull off a bold piece without it looking camp.
Is it because the majority of people don't have a good grasp of colour? It does seem to be something that is more inherent than learned, you're either good with colours or you aren't. I can understand if you weren't very confident with colour matching you'd want to stick to more subtle shades.
Or is it because WAYWT slowly takes away the urge to experiment people have in them? Does it cause people to 'play safe' in order to get the largest possible amount of approval - colour is a matter of taste after all, not everyone is going to like it.
What's wrong with bright youthful colour? It doesn't have to be feminine.
I'm just interested to hear everybody's opinions on this - hopefully it will develop some interesting discussion.
