Esquire Color Quotient – PURPLE 5%

The Esquire Color Quotient – PURPLE 5%

DKNY Silk Pin-Dot Tie – $34.99 | Paul Smith Striped Socks – $30.00

Purple.  The Color of Kings.  It also got Julius Caesar killed.

It’s the only color in the spectrum that the pure sound of the word is reminiscent of someone ripping a belch and a fart at the same time.

puRR-puuule. … “‘scuse me.

Limit your purples and plums to small pieces like ties and socks.  The DKNY pin-dot tie is understated both in the shade, and the size of the dots on the tie.  The Paul Smith striped socks are ridiculously expensive, but, they provide a good example of a pair of socks that’s perfect for a muted suit.  Charcoal gray suit, white shirt, subdued tie… if you want something to jump out, why not a pair of bizarre socks?

Bottom line:  Some people reaaalllly like purple.  I’m not one of them.
