Re: The outer limits of shirting

I think people have this idea that you either have it or you don't and it's very true to say some people have a very clear natural ability or 'hand-writing' when it comes to picking colours or playing an instrument, but like with Miles, or Matisse, they were students of knowledge, and in Miles' words he couldn't wait to apply that knowledge. And with that you progress, you don't become Mr. Red with Navy, or stick to variations on the theme of grey, not that there is anything wrong with that, but if you want to push forward, or be some stand out from the crowd for al the right reasons. The first thing you have to do is to have an acceptance of what you are ignorant to. I'm here to tell you the world is no longer flat gentlemen! If you don't understand something, or afraid it will undermine what you already know you will disregard it, you will stick to the safety of dogma. Now instead of just talking about it, I've supplied examples so hopefully now people can see what I mean.

If that outfit had no green, you would have an incomplete tetrad, of blue , its complimentary yellow, and then a bit of red, that'd be like a whole bit of flavour was missing, like having peking duck wrap without the plum sauce.

Re: The outer limits of shirting

It really has everything to do with it, colours don't stop being colours just because they are on clothes, or on a painting, or in nature itself, you can't think of things as being separated in this way. Cultural norms are built up around these observations, that then become norms, and people then stop to thinking, why they do certain things work so well? Which undermines expression, and learning. Which really should go hand in hand.

There is nothing to be lost from learning, observing, and then applying. Cause ultimately the whole idea is not to stagnate.

Not related to shirts but:

The second on school ties gives a little insight into the British males approach to style, especially the need to subvert, which I've mentioned before:

Drakes has some interesting shirts for this season, albeit way way over-priced.

Re: The outer limits of shirting

I wish I had a job which would allow me to wear nice clothes. Speaking as someone who wears a boiler suit and steel toe cap boots to work, day in, day out. I find it depressing at times, really I do.
