City blues: the cool executive’s formal style lowers its guard
and gives in to sentimentalism. A nostalgic heart beats under
that sober pewter-grey suit, so turtleneck sweaters and pink
shirts appear together with indigo jeans, a coat in a milky-
white shade or with tone-on-tone micro patterns, a blue velvet
blazer, a sand parka and a sleeveless pullover with an
intellectual air, to wear with a white shirt and purple silk
tie.

From Russia with love: the world’s 007s spy no more, the
barriers are down, the iconographies of East and West mingle
together. The result is a tongue-in-cheek blend of denim and
dress uniforms, military shirts complete with medals and urban
bomber jackets, short nylon jackets from beyond the Iron Curtain
and suburban sweatshirts, Red October pullovers and caban
jackets, sneakers on their feet and soldiers’ field service caps
on their head. And permeated throughout with Cyrillic graphics
and post-Soviet symbols.

Revolver: or, even the baddies want to look good. Pitch black
and shiny rain straight from goth comic strips and mystery
science fiction create dark suits, nylon or nappa short jackets,
down-filled blazers, tight jeans, zipped or V-neck pullovers
over gangster-stripe or optical white shirts. Nail buttons,
studs, zips and other nickel details add force to force.

North east: the casual style gets adventurous and starts
exploring, travelling north to absorb local colour: ice, tundra,
birch, embers, salmon. Casual moleskin, wool or corduroy
overwear to wear with garment-dyed tartan trousers, chunky
frogged sweaters. Fleece and jacquard wool jackets are worn
easily with jeans or multiple-pocket army-green cotton trousers.
Mottle flammé sweaters to wear under a musher’s parka. Patchwork
polo shirts and tartan shirts emphasise an adventure style that
most people will wear in town too.
