Men's Clothing: Nature And Mature

I can always hear a theory from people in my life: men have to be strong, mature, and reliable. I totally agree with this idea; men have to support their families and lead their families to success. Because of this reason, men's clothing becomes simple: sweatpants, shirts, suits, ties, etc. It seems like men have already lost their virginity. But there is another thing I always hear from others: men are children forever. Even though they are 80 years old already, they still have a children's spirit in their minds. So it seems like these two sentences are opposite, but actually, that's not. 

This set of twelve male clothing icons was explicitly created with men who still have a "children's heart" in mind. People can use those icons on their social media and related business or projects. The goal of each icon is to share the "mature but nature" spirit in men's minds. Men's clothing is simple but not simple. Each of men's clothing may have a special meaning. 


At the beginning of sketching, I wanted to make sure what clothing could represent men's clothing, and I believed I had some ideas already. So I took some photos of suits, pants, socks, ties, jerseys, and other men's clothing and tried to find some unique details from each of them. When I go deeper into my photos, I think combining different angles, radians, and colors is best to explain my idea.
This is my first draft. It looks rough and complex. I pick blue and white as my primary color for my icon set because blue means calm and mature. White means pure. Also, I put some strokes on the icons' outside to make them look like a set, but I got some comments about it. The effect of the stroke is not that well. At the same time, the white color matches the blue, but this color set makes everything mature but no nature. Consistent was another problem. The shapes and colors couldn't connect everything well.

So I made some changes. First, I use the color with no stroke instead of the stroke. It makes the icon looks more natural. And then, I change the color to orange and yellow. Those colors match the blue well, meaning power, positive, and energy. The Blue and orange color set makes every icon look more fresh and young. Also, I figured out the details of each icon. I deleted some small angles at the connect point of different shapes and made some radians on the corners. Finally, I deleted some lines and shapes on each icon to make them look clean and straightforward, and each shape has better distances between each other to cause the icon to look like one. 
Following these concepts, I create the rest six icons.
And here is my final! Those icons use blue and orange as their primary colors to create young and mature feelings. The blue on the back means men are always stable, reliable, and mature, the orange on the top means men also have energy for a lot of fun activities, they love fun activities just like children, there are always a child lives in their mind. I also use the stars as clothing decorations because I believe all the men are shining in their family and friends. I try to make them look simple but easy to recognize. They could be posted on someone's social media for sharing his wearing or on some stores' logos to explain their spirit. However, all of these icons explain that men are a group of mature but natural people, and their clothing is an excellent representation of them. 

Finally, I want to say, men are always mature and natural, just like their clothing, enjoy the time with the men around you!
