TOBE REPORT
FALL/WINTER 2016
COLOR INSPIRATION
FROM THE EDITOR THERE ARE EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD OF MEN’S FASHION THIS YEAR AND I’M DELIGHTED TO REPORT THE COLORS TOBE HAS PREDICTED FOR FALL/WINTER 2016. IN AN AGE WHERE MEN ARE BECOMING MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE CLOTHING THEY WEAR, COLOR IS THE FIRST TOOL THEY HAVE TURNED TO IN ORDER TO LIVEN UP THEIR WARDROBES. AS WE MOVE INTO A NEW YEAR, LET’S HOPE MEN ARE MOVING WITH US IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS TOBE’S PROJECTED COLOR FORECAST. THIS SEASONS COLOR INSPIRATION STARTS WITH QUINTESSENTIAL, WHICH DERIVES FROM TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP. FROM A TAILORED SUIT TO A CAREFULLY CRAFTED LEATHER BAG, COLOR INSPIRATIONS ARE COMING AT US IN OXFORD STONE AND CHESTNUT BROWN HUES. AS THE FORECAST CONTINUES, TOBE LOOKS TO A MORE OPULENT SOURCE FOR INSPIRATION. CONTROVERSY INTRODUCES THE JEWEL TONES FROM DEEP PURPLE TO SMOKED TEAL. THIS TREND SHOW US HOW PRINT, PATTERN AND EMBELLISHMENT CAN BE COMBINED TO CREATE A BEAUTIFULLY PAINFUL SYMMETRY OF COLOR. IN THE ORGANIZED CHAOS TREND WE LOOK AT STREET PUNK COLORS AND HOW THEY ARE AFFECTING ACTIVE-WEAR. IN OUR LAST COLOR FORECAST, VITALITY, PASTEL TONES ARE MIXED WITH ICY BLUES, PURPLES AND GREENS THAT ARE DERIVED FROM THE HEART OF WINTER. WITH SUCH DARK AND DRAMATIC COLORS TO WORK WITH, THE MALE CONSUMER WILL HAVE AN ARRAY OF COLORS TO CHOOSE FROM FOR HIS WINTER WARDROBE. EACH COLOR TREND BREAKDOWN SHOWS A PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND ACCENT COLOR PALETTE FOR THE MALE CONSUMER FOR FALL/WINTER 2016. WE AT TOBE BELIEVE THAT THESE COLORS WILL WELCOME A NEW AND FRESH PALETTE FOR MENSWEAR. I LOOK FORWARD TO REPORTING “HOW HE WEARS IT” IN TOBE’S NEXT FORECAST ISSUE.
