Ben Johns blames a fashion crisis on colorblindness, then debuts his best look yet

Ben Johns admitted he caused a matching disaster with mixed doubles partner Anna Leigh Waters at the PPA World Championships.

He blamed it on packing in the dark while partially colorblind.

Then he walked onto the singles court the next day wearing one of the sharpest outfits of his career.

The fashion mishap happened during the round of 64 mixed doubles match.

Broadcasters on Pickleballtv, Sarah Ansboury and Michelle McMahon, spotted the mismatch immediately.

Waters wore a teal skirt and black shirt from Nike.

Johns wore bright blue shorts and a white shirt.

The colors did not complement each other at all.

During the post-match interview, Ansboury asked Johns directly about the problem.

"Ben, I don't think you did your job today with matching Anna Leigh's outfit, so what's going on here?" Ansboury said.

Johns, Waters and McMahon all laughed at the question.

Johns took full responsibility for the mistake.

"It's entirely my fault," Johns said.

"She told me what to wear in the morning and I think I packed in the dark."

"I packed the blue instead of the teal, and somehow, I didn't have a black shirt."

"It was a catastrophe this morning, I take full responsibility."

"Blame being color blind and dressing in the dark," he added.

Waters interrupted immediately to correct him.

"I'm sorry you can't blame your partial color blindness," Waters said.

"He's not actually color blind," she clarified.

Johns has previously shared that Waters handles all the fashion decisions for their partnership.

She establishes the color combinations and Johns matches them.

So far this season, he has churned out some really nice looks to complement Waters in mixed doubles.

But this look did not complement her at all.

His outfit was not bad on its own.

It just did not match hers.

The next day, during the round of 32 singles match, Johns showed up in one of his best looks from the entire tournament.

He wore JOOLA's new green hat, a baby blue shirt, teal shorts, white compression sleeves, white crew socks and JOOLA court shoes.

The color combination of blue, teal and green was excellent.

It looked sharp on him.

The styling also earned praise.

Most players fall short on styling, according to observers.

A good outfit is not strictly about having a matching top and bottom.

It is also about the shoes, hat and every accessory matching.

The easiest way to achieve that is by wearing all black or white accessories.

Johns nailed it by wearing all white accessories.
