For a lot of men, mixing prints and trying to make patterns work is like attempting to figure out astrophysics through the Dummies Guide. For others, it’s as simple as taking candy from a baby!

Kenzo gentlemen look haunted and dusty, Ann Demeulemeester is all well and dandy and Ports 1961, is silky and smooth. Whenever these designers showcase a collection I am always amazed by the colors and textures they bring to the runway.

Every season it gets weirder and harsher, the jailbird looks by Acne, the confused gentlemen by Costume National Homme and the lumberjack pyjama boy from Dries Von Noten.

If ever you can’t put your stripes and plaid together these are the collections to observe and emulate [with caution!] Good luck and happy fashion!
