COLOR
So I LOVE wearing colors, I know for some of you this isn’t news but it’s a thing.
For as long as I can remember I’ve never been afraid of incorporating color into my wardrobe.
Be it red, pink, magenta or chartreuse having a wardrobe that embraces a wide spectrum of colors brings me true sartorial satisfaction. In fact, true story, I only own one full black suit. People always ask me why I wear so many colors and patterns and the answer is simply, because it makes me happy! When I see a kelly green shirt or a pair of floral trousers, I get excited about the possibilities. I think many people are intimidated when it come to color for number of reasons. They don’t know how to wear colors because they’ve never tried, so their afraid to get it wrong. They don’t know how to slowly incorporate color into their existing wardrobe so it will be organic. They are afraid of what other people will think.
I think it’s important to acknowledge that all of these are fears and that once you recognize your fears it’s often easier to overcome them. That recognition paired with education and a strong detailed style inspiration can put you on the path overcoming your fears. re importantly what colors you like. Following that start small by adding color in accessories and subtle clothing details. Flecks of a color in pocket squares and ties. touches of color in shoes or socks. The more comfortable you are with the effect of color in your wardrobe, the more you’ll be able to start adding.

Let's Talk Color! Do you wear it?
I love wearing color and especially mixing patterns! I feel like it's much easier as a woman, I've never had anyone criticize me for it.
I really like wearing coulorful and patterned clothes. They are really pretty
I have bright periwinkle pants that are colorful! But most of the time my go to outfit looks like Kim possible with a black tight top and green army cargo pants lol
I look good in what's traditionaly fall colors such as :burgundy, royal blues and purples, navy and dusty rose. I used to care about what other people think now don't give a F if people don't like color I wear it now especially after taking color theory class. Color theory class really helped me make smart color purchases . I wish at work I could wear all black because I work with a lot of colors . I'm digging that bright blue and yellow on you Dandy 😍 omg I wish I had more melamine often to pull off bright colors !
I loved the last outfit, the darker striped jacket, love how you use pale pink and bright red in some of the others, with green!
I lost it at Captain Crunch Berries because it's actually spot-on 🤣
All @abbycox idea!
At this point, I'm convinced Dandy would look good no matter what color combination he wears!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I wholeheartedly agree. In my experience with fashion and color, there's definitely such a thing as knowing your limits. But I'm not sure Dandy Wellington HAS any.
I know right? I can't wear bright full tone colors because I'm not very tan but Dandy is rocking them!
"Most who would criticize you don't have the courage to live your life. So why should they be given the privelege to criticize your decisions?" That really resonated with me 🧡
THAT one I wrote down!
Not sure which wall it's going on yet, but it will live on one of my walls and live in my life!🖖
Me too! 💯
1. OMG YOU DID IT AND IT IS AMAZING JUST LIKE I KNEW IT WOULD BE ONLY YOU CAN TAKE CEREAL AND MAKE IT FASHION 😍😍😍

I used to have trouble color matching when I made jewelry. The best advice I ever got was, "Do you like it?" A lot of us don't trust ourselves to match colors well but at the same time we all have opinions. Before you get dressed lay out an outfit. Do you like it? If you're not sure maybe try again. If it really grabs you then you know you're onto something. Trust your own likes and dislikes. You know more than you think you do.
YES! Such great advise. It's so important to trust yourself and have confidence. Thanks for watching!
The blue and yellow was stunning! I mostly wear black bases with touches of color, but I had a huge goth phase in middle school that's just tangentially stuck around!
So good! Many of my friends with vintage style come from the goth and punk world. Its a great foundation for other styles. Thanks for watching!
I have to agree, color is the spice of life. Right now, my wardrobe tends to lean more towards Earth tones, but I plan on incorporating colors typically worn by the Iroquois people (reds, blues, and purples) due to my Native American heritage.
When I was a teenager I wore all black all the time but in college I started adding purple, then blue, then orange, and now my wardrobe has far more colors in it than just black and I don’t think I could ever go back!
That red jacket with the boater hat ... (best Rachel Maksy) *chef’s kiss*
Edit: that last one ☝🏾 that ones it chief.
Love the new set, that's a gorgeous color. You are completely correct that a lot of people, and I've very much noticed this with men, at least in the South, seem deeply afraid of being judged for wearing anything that could be considered "loud". I've always been attracted to wearing color, but you're totally right in that it does require some self-education as to what can go with what without looking garish. That red coat/pink shirt with the white collar/vest combo was PhD level color combination. The others were beautiful, and I would wear that mint green/brown ensemble in a heartbeat, but that red jacket combo was a fantastic way to show that you can create a complex combination and pull it off, as long as you have an appreciation not only for color theory, but also for how specific colors can play off your skin tone. I love yellows and golds, but if they're right up against me I look ill, so I have to find other ways to incorporating them, like pocket squares or ties. And sometimes a small but bright pop of color can be a super-effective means of wearing a color without it wearing you, as you beautifully demonstrated.
This is a great break down of something I teach in my classes. Confidence and independence from other peoples negative opinions and also how to combine colors you like in ways that suit you. With yellow and gold I would suggest burgundy and brown; maybe even wearing forest green. These colors will anchor the yellow or gold and work with your skin tone. Thank for watching!
@@DandyWellington This is going to be a touch long, lol. Thank you! I love your channel, both the music and, honestly, seeing another man seem to so effortlessly kill it both sonically and in terms of fashion. I love the entire vintage/historical costume community (I found you by way of Bernadette Banner), but I've had a harder time finding other guys I can relate to in this arena, so I deeply appreciate all the inspiration and advice! I like to consider myself pretty decent at color play, but literally every combination you just mentioned immediately clicked in my head, like "Why didn't I think of that?" And it so happens that I have both a forest green and a burgundy velvet blazer, so I can't wait to try those out! Thank you so much for the suggestion, it's such a joy to just watch you be you in such an authentic manner ad setting. Your perspective and the education you provide your audience is genuinely helping a LOT of people :)
"Most who would criticise you, don't have the courage to live your life.
So why should they be given the privilege to criticise your decisions?"

Might need this quote writen on my wall.
Wonderful video and outfits! Not to mention the amazing music!!!
Everything you wear is Fabulous. The color of that rich clear yellow tie will be feeding my soul for a long time. Thank you for being your true self and bringing us all such happiness and bringing us closer to being freely ourselves.
This inspired me to bring more colour into my bagmaking. I tend to play it safe with colour and texture, but I definitely want to branch out a bit. Especially loved the brown and mint! Thank you Dandy.
Cheer! Brown and mint in a bag would be great! Go for it.
Love that ice cream combo and any excuse to coordinate outfits with desserts! I guess I can thank having weirdo artist parents for setting a colorful example in my youth, I have never shied away from a face-melting amount of color. P.S. new video "set" looks great!
The blue and yellow ensemble was lovely!! But then again, they all were
Many people have called me the primary colour wheel. I have no regrets.
Fantastic idea!
Glad to see you here
The winner for me goes to the mint green/brown combo!
I'm on my journey to wear more colours. It helps that I sew all my clothes and have more freedom by selecting the fabric first rather than the finished garment and be dependent on another's taste.
This video is a perfect reminder for me to actually wear the garments I made despite the odd looks I get.
And I loved all the cheeky little details in the outfits!
Loved these outfits. I'm particularly keen on that gray windowpane jacket. Fantastic!!
Yes! Give me all the colors. I have very few neutral based outfits lol. I do love the idea of finding new color combinations.
They’re all great looks! Tbh menswear makes me so sad usually because so many just go for the basic black/navy/grey or brown if they’re feeling wild... it’s so nice to see some color 💛
I'm not super good about wearing lots of colors these days but I LOVE your wall color. I'm all about that.
Wearing colour makes one happy but seeing a well selected palette of colour ensemble brings a smile to those nearby. In my experience wearing colour (and vintage as well) makes a stranger say hi and the city or urban commute becomes that much more friendly and enjoyable.
You are so dapper and handsome. Watching you gave me that happy lift I needed. Honestly you looked good in all the colors. Hard to choose
I don't have a lot of space so I try to make sure everything goes together. Like a capsule wardrobe, but not as strict. My go-to colors are navy and mustard.
Your color combos are DIVINE! I especially love when you do the monochromatic thing with like a pop of one color. Wonderful color combos can create real magic. xo
This video came at the perfect time! I've been wanting to experiment with more color as I tend to stick with earth tones mostly. The captain crunch and mint chocolate chip inspired outfits were definitely my favorites!
Every one of those outfits showed pizzazz, but I gotta say, that blue and yellow combo was perfection. My favorite color is purple, but it looks dreadful on me. A pop of it, though, like on a tie or something, might be the perfect way to go. A single color, even from a small item, can take center stage without overpowering the senses.
That's so right. Something more subtle will make all the difference! Thanks for watching!
I could have watched an hour of those wonderful outfits! Loved the music you had over them as well! I think my favorite was blue and yellow - such a classic combo!
I love the blue and yellow. Then the green with the purple kerchief.
My faves were the blue and yellow, as well as the green and brown! Love this! You're always so stylin'!
I have trouble making a full/cohesive outfit. So mostly I wear one color, plus neutrals.
Can't believe my step-mom just introduce me to him! Lack of money and taste tends to get in the way of fashion in my family.
The Cap'n Crunch berries outfit was my favorite!! I love greens, blues, and purples so that was the ultimate combo for me.
“Which outfit was your favorite?”
(Literally everyone in the room:)
“ALL OF THEM.”
🔥🔥🔥
I love ALL of them! That pattern combination made my heart soar 💕✨
I’m trying to do more color in mine, a soft pink peasant top with a baby blue skirt with multicolored flags printed on the bottom, I just need to bring myself to wear it to some other place that it’s not just Disneyland 😅
I’ve slowly been integrating color into my wardrobe. Today I wore red shirt with a white squared pattern dress pants. It felt weird but I like that it looked nice. I usually stray from patterns too but I’m excited to start getting out of my comfort zone and dressing the way I want! 😁 I did take color theory so now I gotta apply it to my wardrobe hehehe. Thanks for the color combination and pattern ideas!!! 😭🥰
I wear a lot of dark colors. I always have, but I recently bought a pair of bright yellow shoes on an impulse, and I love wearing them. They make me feel happy every time I see them, because they make me think of the song "Walking on Sunshine". Fast forward a few weeks, and I got a pair of bright reds. I know that they must clash with my dark colors and black fingernails, but I really like looking down and seeing colors that make me happy. I don't know if bright colors will eventually seep into the rest of my clothing, but I'm glad I decided to have fun with my shoes.
Mint Green + Brown = FIRE! Biggest challenge for me are Patterns but you make it look easy!
I love the new set! I am really trying to incorporate more color in my wardrobe. I’ve started with yellow. Next color up might be pink! 🤩
Love the new set! I love color, and especially interesting combinations. Of the wardrobe combinations you chose, the blue and yellow was my favorite! You looked like the personification of a sunny day. Thank you for sharing your joy of life with us.
I am making my husband watch this tonight! He's got a great foundation wardrobe but I'd love to see him in more colour! And I think my favourite combination of yours here is a toss up between the blue & yellow and the windowpane plaid jacket + green tie & striped shirt, what a sophisticated- looking combo that is! Thanks so much for this video!
I love the blue and yellow! Yellow is my favourite colour, but also a difficult colour for me, because when it gets too close to orange, it looks so bad on me. It needs to be bright yellow or more toward green. But I do love colour and I try to wear it as much as possible. A colleague of mine thought I was brave when I showed her my turquoise shoes and I can't wait to show her my new blue, red and yellow shoes.
I love color and there are definitely some I will gravitate towards than others, but I often find myself more concerned with the lines and shape of a garment than with the color. If the shape looks good, chances are that I can make the color work too. Blues, greens, reds with neutral whites, creams, and blacks to make them pop and snap. My wedding gown was a great example. All white with varying texture that accentuated the lines of the gown and of me! It was medieval-vintage, if you can imagine that.
I think Baskin Robbins or the green and brown are my favorite combos. Gosh I need to shop more of your style. Those high pants pockets are giving me so many ideas.
I definitely don't have this problem. If anything, I don't have enough neutrals in my wardrobe. Pretty much everything is bright shades of blue, green, purple, pink, and more recently, yellow and red, with tons of fun patterns. Floral? Galaxy print? Polka dots? Yes please. If I don't have at least one colorful piece in an outfit, I don't feel like myself.
I tend to treat blue like a neutral, because it goes with everything. My friends tease me for wearing too much blue, but it's such a pretty color. I'm starting to branch out from all cool tones all the time and add more warm tones, and I really like it.
Great video. My favourite outfit has to be blue and yellow one.
Green white n brown was my take
The biggest issue I have is that the places I have access to purchase from all think that women my size need to wear black. Most of the time the ‘fun splash of color’ is red which clashes with my hair... I have nothing against black or red. Once the pandemic is over in the next few years, I have every intention of visiting my seamstress for a better variety of clothes
My favorite...I can’t lie...Crunch Berries. Favorite cereal as a child...😏and as an adult! 😆 (just can’t do it as much)
I liked the red jacket with blue trousers the most. My problem with incorporateing color to my wardrobe is, that you have only one black suit but I don't even have a suit 😂. But I'm not afraid of color so it will come 😁
I adore color! I'm so glad it's making a comeback! My favorite was the mint and brown, followed closely by the crunchberries (that Abby!) ❤💙💜🧡💚💛🖤
I loved this video so much!! I loved the bit of pattern matching you incorporated as well, a touch of whimsy makes it fun!
Your wardrobe is a real treasurer. Although I am a vintage goth myself, I love watching you combine a lot of colours! 💕
The red jacket is my 1st favorite.
The blue jacket is my 2nd favorite.
Thank you Dandy!
Thanks for watching!!
Great video! A little bummed the colour combo I wanted to see (yellow and purple) wasn't there, but this was a very fun watch! I especially liked the mint green and brown outfit.
I have a colourful wardrobe (lounging in my technicolor dressing-gown) but you take it to the next level - love it! Challenge accepted :)
The biggest thing to consider when dressing vintage or more colorful or basically anything "different" is to be prepared to receive more attention! And that doesn't mean people judging you - almost always I get positive attention. But you have to be prepared for random strangers to stare at you, ask you questions, etc. You can't hide when you're wearing lots of color, or a dapper hat or fluffy petticoats 😂
After I got got rid of all the clothes in my closet that weren’t mine... I had very little
left that wasn’t part of work uniforms from all the jobs I’ve worked. Of “my own” clothes there is a plum fancy dress, a blue and grey summer dress, and my interview outfit which is a teal blouse with black capris... which is significantly more color than I expected lol.
Thank you for sharing!
Always stylish! I loved the Crunchberry inspired look!
My wardrobe is mostly blue but I’ve been branching out into greens and earth tones lately. People have always told me to only do two colors at once in an outfit but I think it looks so cool to have three colors, like the mint, brown, and white outfit you wore
I *love* your tie in the intro & outro.
Coral family is currently a favorite & you wear it *so* well.
Thank you for this beauty.
Love what you have to say, and I an screamin' at my screen over the outfits
I’m like you, a wardrobe full of color! I have very few items that are solid or neutral. Lately I’ve been diggin’ teal, mustard yellow, and eggplant purple as a combo.
My biggest challenge with wearing bold colors is looking completely alien in a city where everyday is rainy, sad, and gray.
Love it! My biggest challenge when incorporating colors is making sure the tones match - so I'll have a red and a purple, which normally go well together, but they're different tones and it just looks funny. 🙈
When I want to get something to go with another article of clothing I wear it to the shop or fabric store. Really helps!
Awesome embroidery detail! 💓💓💓I'm really fond of all black with a bit of red.
I love the new set! And your outlook on people’s “thoughts”. Keep the content coming. Loving it!!
My favourite combo was brown with mint, but all of them look great! I like to wear all black because it's easier to "combine" (although, then when it's faded, you have different shades of black and i don't like it), but now i like to wear a lot of color incorporated in form of big patterns and prints. Since i love big flowy shirts, I'll use it as my star piece and build around it, often its just that piece, and the rest of the outfit will be black because yeah, i love black. Also, my main problem with color is that i love red, but i find it difficult to wear since i dye my hair copper/redish, and i don't want to look monochromatic, or i need something to like colorblock the upper part of the look.
Oh those colour combinations look marvelous! Now I only need to know where can I find all of those more eccentric pieces of clothing. Thanks for this video, any other resources I can find for mixing colours and patterns?
Really digging the Baskin Robbins inspired outfit - that was a nice surprise!
I really liked the Blue and yellow (almost gold) combo.
Yes, I love color in my outfits!! My favorite outfit in this video was the red jacket outfit. I loved that you had a tie bar to hold the tie in place. I have no idea why that went away from the normal way to wear a tie!! Ties flying around in the wind is not a good look. I love the way you dress and always look forward to what you will be wearing in the next video! Thank you so much!
Idek which was my fav. that was such a cute idea.
Just subscribed. You have amazing style. Saw you first on Rose Callahan's Dandy Portraits. So colorful...
Keep going 💪
oh god, i need this video. my coworkers make fun of me because i only wear black. like yes i'm goth outside of work but somehow i've come to fear colors..........it's like i forgot how they work lmao
The cruchberry inspired outfit was on point!
This was really fun to watch! My colors are inspired by my enamel pin collection - Starting with a solid, collared piece to show off the accessory then tying the rest of the outfit to it. (Floral skirt, bright socks, cute shoes, etc.)
Alas, finding collared, short-sleeve shirts is HARD.
Your video was excellent..favorite outfits...can not take one over the other....my spring summer wardrobe has a great deal of color....gentlemen have no fear...just do it...
Omg the captain crunch berries outfit is ICONIC!!
Also this video is inspiring me to wear more colour and to try out new colour combinations. I really do love the captain crunch berries colours together. Thank you!! So much!!
I do enjoy color, but haven’t looked into combining them intentionally. You inspire me! I’m going to see what new combinations I can do with my wardrobe and figure out what clothing I’ll want to buy/make in the future.
Stunning outfits, incredible editing and gorgeous backing music.
My main colour struggle is breaking out of blue - 90% of my 50s dresses are blue and I've just gotten the fabric to make two more blue ones 😅, I love mustards/berry tones but they seldom fall into my wardrobe.
I love the new background!
Mint green and brown! Great combination!
This was great. You’ve always inspired me on how to bring in more color to my wardrobe. I’d love to have you do a video on how you select the pairing of your ties and pocket squares. It’s one of those challenges my husband and I always have when putting his together. How to put color combos, patterns, styles, etc. together. Plus I’d love to just see your collection of accessories! ❤️-Reagan
Thanks you for this video! It encourages me to rethink about colors in my closet :-)
In the last months I watched so many videos about color in style and fashion... About the four season colour analysis; which color matches your skin tone (warm, cool, neutral) and hair color the best; about the effect of contrast and chroma and so on...
For me it came out I haven't done anything 'wrong' so far. I have a color palette in my wardrobe with different colors - but all with lower intensity. What I'm missing are accent colors that spark joy, give that little something to an outfit and make me feel special. I simply don't know which colors answer that purpose and complete my ecisting color pallette.
Ahhh- colour! I think in the past I feared colour the most because i am well padded naturally and feel that black and dark shades are easier for me to wear. Before that, it was so that I drew as little attention to myself. But now that I am leaning towards a history based everyday wardrobe, that has gone out the window. Colour it is!
Most excellent! Have fun!
Mary Blaylock I will!
It's not about the color that makes you possibly look bigger in some areas it's the print and cut of the garment. Seriously when I see some women wear all black and it doesn't fit it makes them look worse. I helped a lady in the thrift store look like she lost 30 pounds just by giving her some fit tips I've learned from my plus sized friends. It's all about cut, fit and drape , I make clothes fit to me not me fit into clothes. Rock those curves!

@@HearthandSickle you're welcome 😘
Nothing to say beyond you're amazing, this video helped me so much with my approach to figuring out how to add color while changing and adapting my wardrobe to my personality, and you look good in every color like wth?
Great video!! Loved the blue and yellow outfit! 😍 love you and your internet content! (And Harlem rhythm is one of my favorite songs!💚)
I never cared what the sort of guy who scoffed at my pink shirts thought.
Hot DAMN! This was INCREDIBLE! Never stop making these videos!
all of these outfits are so stunning 🥺
Ohhh the editing in this video is delicious ❤️ also love the way you speak! 🤗 It's so musical 😍
Captain crunch berries is everything!!!
This was such a pleasure to watch! The styles were amazing and the editing on point :D Last year I found out that I am super drawn to pinks and reds and since then it has become surprisingly easy to style an outfit for me because some things just feel like myself in these colors. I think we often just have to give ourselves the permission to be out of the norm. :)
Ahh! You picked my suggestion! :party: Love the outfit that you made with it!! :D
The whole fear conversation is very important… And insidious. I was convinced for years that because I am 6’ 3” and 275 pounds plus I couldn’t wear large statement pieces because I was already a large statement piece. And then I realized that I could TOTALLY wear large statement pieces BECAUSE I am already a large beautiful statement piece. I am going to command attention of any room I walk into... So I might as well wear the pretty colors to go with it.
If you had asked me, I would not have told you I was afraid to wear them. But the voices of the people who had told me before that it was not OK resonated in my head longer than I realized.
You rock.
As soon as I read you are close to being monetized, I clicked subscribe and then I see video on colors? Count me in anytime! Loved it and loved the colors of your tie ❤ (And all the outfits generally od course)
I love how you have more than 500+ likes and no dislikes I LOVE YOU
Thank you for the great video!
My partner loooves colors, however it is quite hard to find colorful clothing for men in my city (Montreal). Everything is blue, grey, black, brown, etc...
