My friend Amy pointed me to Wear Palettes, a blog that finds the Pantone palette for outfits profiled on The Sartorialist.

It’s kind of brilliant in its simplicity — someone else takes the pictures, they just match the colors. But the two websites really do make you think a little bit: For one, I see the palette of some outfits and marvel that someone managed to pull together six colors — SIX! — in one look. (Click each of the thumbnails above to see the photo in a larger size.) Most days I’m lucky to hit three in an outfit (shirt, pants, shoes) and I know some people who have trouble putting together just two.

And it’s also interesting to see what you notice about the outfits. For example, in the photo at top, The Sartorialist writes, “Notice the covered buttons on the jacket” (yes, that site lets you see the photos much, MUCH larger), whereas I was fixated only on the length of the pants, which to me looks thismuch too short.

And as an aside, I also find this website, which my friend Albert pointed me to, entertaining as well. Not technically style-related, but let’s just say that St. Louis Cardinals picture Brad Thompson, Eagles frontman Don Henley and … that guy who used to be in Take That, apparently, all have a certain look. …
