Dreams Loud & Awake By The Muted City Lake

Continuing the feel of fusion, this recent look takes three trends and colours them together into a uniformed staple way of being adventurous without drowning in attention seeking colour. A military man battles into a cohesive agreement with a sailor to establish a muted pallete, where toughness finds serenity by the sea. A Vivienne Westwood t-shirt offers a playful twist, a Topman macintosh has a silky silver water ripple to it while also embodying titan armor strength, and the nautical holdall clashes perfectly with the chunky military boots. By adapting all these trends in the same pallete doesn't wash the ideas away, but more ropes them together. And in this instance, grey was the colour of choice, echoing muted vibes from the likes of Phillip Lim. I've included some editorial examples below of the splicing of 'the sea' in different atmospheres. And be sure to subscribe to the Brighterman youtube channel for upcoming videos of me offering styling tips such as this mixture of trends. It's an exciting project in the pipeline from a great accessories company. http://www.youtube.com/user/BrightermanTV
