Pink and red is atrocious though.

Actually, red with magenta is one of my favorite color combinations, even if it's not something I'd personally wear. That guy's v-neck is slightly too purplish for that, though.

It's usually not difficult to throw greens and green-blues together and get them to work, but the color combination on the guy on the left just looks chintzy for some reason.

Of course, I'm not even going to touch on the fact the GQ is suggesting we wear sweaters over polos.

I agree it's not perfect, but I sorta want to do a green + green-blue now.

deep purples look good on literally everyone

i've struggled with this for a long time too, it's always difficult for me to decide what version to buy of a piece that comes in multiple colors.

if you have basic colors, try and experiment. experimenting with clothes is all part of the fun.

i like the basic of idea of generally neutral colors with a little spice added with a sweater or socks or shawls/scarves (but not all three at once and not overdone)
