Last night, as much of the East Coast dug itself out of a dreary blizzard, Joe Jonas channeled the bright California sunshine in a velvet bomber jacket that just so happened to be bright-ass yellow. In his hand, he held a Nintendo Switch, the other biggest trend of 2017 (we'll get back to bringing video games to a restaurant later).

Yellow, the official it-color of the moment, lit up spring runways from Hermès to Gucci to Alexander McQueen and has been popping up on stylish men ever since—usually as an accent color in the form of sneakers, a belt, or a bold tee. But Jonas took the ballsier route by wearing his yellow as outerwear and contrasting the lemon hue with all black, a smart move. Not only that, his choice of fabric (velvet) was just as bold and just as on-trend. While it goes without saying that this particular fit isn't for every man, trust us when we tell you that any man can pull off a yellow jacket and that this spring you should give it a try. The best part is, you can tailor the shade of yellow to your taste—and skin tone. So if you're not looking to stand out quite like Jonas, or just prefer more muted colors, go for a yellow that leans more toward brown, khaki, or orange (mustard yellow is a great place to start). Next, try pairing your new jacket with lighter colors for less contrast. Go for a pair of white or light beige chinos and a neutral-color shirt. Just remember that this is not a great color to buy online, as product photos can be misleading and certain yellows don't flatter every guy. Take the time to try several jackets on—or at the very least look for free return shipping.

Lastly, a note about combining one's love of fashion, love of dining out, and love of video games. Though there's nothing wrong with what Joe Jonas is doing in this photo, we would not look favorably on any man (no matter how stylish) who plays Zelda at the dinner table. Unless, of course, he's alone at home, in which case, carry on, nerds.
