Letter to the Clients
Dear Clients, Colors for 2014 -‘15 step outside of the box of drab, dull, and dark menswear. Instead, these colors extend to accents and brights that uplift classic pieces, and encourage expansion. The color palette generates a new wave of trends, that are trickled down from the runway to everyday street style and vice-versa. The color inspiration begins with Tailored Gangs and IndustRealized which focus on dark and neutral color palettes. As the report continues, Tobe brings in influences from the technology inspired trend, Digitally Phased. A color trend that brings together both light and dark color options for men. Global Creed, emphasis jewel tones accompanied by ethnic inspired prints for the fall season; balanced by monochromatic colors. The color breakdown gives options for both formal and casual color combinations the various types of males consumers. This fall, we at Tobe believe that menswear will take a step, a leap! Into the new colors for the season.
Peace, Happiness, & Love

This fall season, menswear is fit especially for Tailored Gangs, those who represent not only themselves, but a whole group, The classic colors are able to translate into both casual and formal color pairings. This colorway is suave enough for the most debonair gangster and his affiliates.

The belief of this trend begins with the jewel tones of eastern influence. The bold colors generate from Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia, as well as folklore traditions within those countries. This bold color palette is for the man who seeks truth, and change within himself, and his wardrobe.
