Colors coming back to men's fashion in Asia?

Purple Is the New Gray
“With the move away from conservative dress, there’s a lightness in colors,” says Mr. Cho, adding that he’s going to stock some colors for the spring: barley-yellow and electric-blue jackets in lightweight wool, for example, a departure from the classic navy and gray jackets that have dominated sales in the past two years. Also in the pipeline: pink, blue and purple ties in grenadine silk (a textured, loosely woven silk), as well as unstructured jackets — no padding or front canvas (interface) — for a slightly more casual look. “We’re hoping a lot more guys aren’t just wearing suits, but will mix with sports coats and trousers.”
