Subtlety In Pattern Mixing
About a week ago I went out to a party where you either had to dress up like a Hobo or Fancy. I chose Fancy. Because this was a shindig that was filled with many eccentric artists, actresses, and bizarre sartorial choices I decided to be a bit brave and mix a bunch of patterns together. The result was most pleasing and caught the eye of many at the party. What I realized was that it was the subtlety of the patterns that made it look good. The gingham shirt’s checks were just the right size as well as the polka dots on the tie and the pinstripes in the jacket. It was like a very tasteful yet intricate painting. Below is a shot of the detail:
Cotton Pin Stripe Suit (Daffy's $139), H&M Gingham Shirt ($39), H&M Tie ($20)
This got me itching for more subtle mixes and I came up with a nice one for Mother’s Day brunch today:
Indochino Suit ($400 after tailoring), Indochino Custom Shirt ($99)
