The other day, a guy was looking at our corduroy shirts here in Phoenix. We have it in two colors - navy and brown.

He liked the navy - but said something along the lines of “ah yeah I have to go with the brown, I wear a lot of blue jeans”.

Basically saying, he doesn’t think you’re supposed to wear a blue shirt with blue jeans or pants.

And it’s simply not true.

Yeah I wouldn’t wear the exact same matching blue top and bottom (nor would I do that with any color).

But as long as they are a different texture and tone, you absolutely can. And it looks great.

Wearing a navy denim shirt or cord shirt with blue jeans or pants is one of my favorite combos. And knowing a lot dudes think they can’t, there’s something about it that feels slightly edgy too.. like your breaking some stupid unwritten rule. Throw a white tank under to add a little pop.
