Here’s what you need to know to get it right… **DO** get your colour combos right. Avoid white or pale wash denim and look instead to unexpected pairings, like camel or black for a cooler vibe. **DO** know your audience – it’s not always 100% appropriate in a formal setting. **DON’T** get the shade wrong – hot pink is for teenage boys. Instead, opt for pastel pink. **DON’T** go for anything too tight. The key to keeping it masculine is opting for boxy shapes and loose fit tees, shirts and bombers. **DON’T** overdo it. Less is more and it works best when paired with something simple. ![Beach Cotton Terry Hooded Sweatshirt from John
