Year end is a time for reflection: Are you in true harmony with the man inside you? And do you express it in the way you dress? BLEND Year End 2012 is the collection for the rugged gentleman. The tailored items create a classic look and cool shirts worn casually or a t-shirt will add the rough part. The silhouettes are inspired by classic tailoring twisted with vintage details. The styles are washed, crinkled and laundered for a rugged look. The colours are blue, brown and grey with splashes of bright orange and burgundy. Blazers come in washed down chambray and corduroy. Corduroy is also used as elbow pads, pocket details and shirt collars. Shirts vary from bold and playful checks and mini stripes to timeless corduroy and chambray.
Classic wool jackets are given a rugged look with heavy stitching and work wear details. Knits are warm and chunky with graphic cable patterns. Wear jeans and t-shirt by day and add a classy shirt and a fitted blazer by night for the season’s parties. Be a perfect, rugged gentleman.
