It takes bravery and dedication to pull off a look like this. However, dilute it down from the editorial and all the pieces are not just wearable but a great way to get colour into your wardrobe. If I’m honest I desperately need to get more colour into my wardrobe, its something most men could do with. Colour is not just for the ladies and it really makes you stand out. Dominated by indigo, navy, midnight, and well basically blue along with black & white I’m slowly starting to explore other colours. Brights and colour in general are a perennial trend in the summer, us fashiony people have a tendency to rename things on occasion to make them sound newer. (Shh dont tell anyone!) Pastels also tend to creep in every year here and there so thats worth a shot too.  I know budgets can be tight and people want something they can definitely wear without looking like a berk. The good thing is during the summer months sartorial rules are relaxed a bit and experimentation is welcomed. So dont be afraid to mix it up.  If you’re still a bit nervous about jumping into colour headlong, try it out with a few accessories such as belts, braces, ties, etc though prob best not all at the same time.  What am I doing, well yellow is making more of an appearance (another warning here if you hate wasps & bees etc this can be a colour to avoid….they can think you’re a giant flower), and I’m heading to Uniqlo to make sure I grab something bright. I’m thinking Wimbledon green and possibly a bit of lilac.Who knows? I’m also getting more into the preppy tailored shorts look but more on that to come. fuckyeahmodelhomme: billboardbb: Mikus Lasmanis by Tony Duran High-res

To most people outside of the creative world Pantone are probably totally alien. Think of them as the biggest Dulux colour guide in the world, but the amazing thing is the colour references are totally universal. That means you can give the reference to anyone and so long as they match it correctly you know exactly what you’re getting. 

This is a life saver as there are infinite variations of every colour in the world, and if you told 20 people to pick the colour red, or lilac you’d probably get 20 different colours. 

Great film and really interesting post from cool hunting!

sartorial: At Rio Fashion…Luca Rubinacci, Rio de Janeiro  Brilliant example of how to look amazing while chilling on the beach. So many men get casual so wrong, they just need to loook at this man. Perfect for Rio but losing the scarf may make this work better off the beach in grey London. (Though not this week unless he’s planning on accessorising with a bout of hypothermia)
