Even with the occasional monsoon rains, it's still as hot and humid as ever in this part of the world. This short-sleeved, Southeast Asian printed polo would do. The shirt's combination of mustard and maroon works really well that I decided to extend it to the rest of my outfit, so it's maroon from waist down.

I find wine (or maroon, bordeaux, burgundy - whatever you want to call it) to be a nice color. However, I also realize that it's not a very popular color choice among men in an office setting, at least in the area where I work. I mean, it's mostly blacks, grays, and blues that I see.

Wearing darker-hued trousers leaves a man with much less trouble in picking a shirt and jacket to go with it. Now colored pants--much so bright ones--can be a little challenging at times. But then it's nice to wear some color, even on occasion. I previously showed some ideas on  how to wear green pants  and how to wear orange pants  based on how I've worn such items in the past but now let's turn to something that's much safer in my opinion. It's called by many names--bordeaux, maroon, wine--but however you call it, here are a few personal experiences with this pant color. Pair it with brown Black is probably the safest to use with maroon pants but try adding some brown into the mix. In this look I put on a brown plaid blazer that just happened to have some nice maroon lines that easily anchors the blazer to the pants. But with or without those lines, most shades of brown will work on their own.
