When it comes to menswear, neutrals usually dominate the conversation. But every so often, someone steps in to remind us that colour isn’t just allowed — it’s irresistible. Enter Akin Faminu.
For his latest look, the style star leaned into a full-on retro palette that felt straight out of the 1970s. An olive-green shirt layered under a mustard-chartreuse jacket set the tone, punctuated by a bold red floral brooch. Wide-leg vintage denim and classic black leather shoes grounded the ensemble, while accessories — a wide-brimmed hat for polish, dark sunglasses for attitude — kept things playful.
Photographed against a vivid red backdrop, the effect was striking. The earthy greens, punchy yellow, and flashes of red worked together in a way that felt daring yet cohesive, proof that men can carry colour just as powerfully as women.

The takeaway? Forget the “safe zone” of black, navy, and grey. As Akin makes clear, colour doesn’t just look good on men — it makes them look better.
