Fashion Tip: Bizzay Patternz

Shirt by Energie; Blazer by H&M

Okay, last update I slightly touched on this subject of real busy patterns on shirts. Recently, there has been pretty much an explosion of all-over prints, and in general, patterns that cover the whole clothing. Some designers take it to the next level, like Nigo from A Bathing Ape, Christian Audigier from Ed Hardy and his eponymous label, and streetwear designs like GrnAppleTree, Obey and others have followed suit. Now, I have no problems with it, per se, because even though I can't rock it properly, there sure as hell are people who can!

My problem is this: people who can't, for the life of them, match these items for a coherent outfit! These things are over-the-top busy already, so in order to still look presentable, there must be some solid colours. If anything, layer layer layer. It's the easiest way to take away from the busy-ness. What I've done here is take an all-over skullhead pattern from an Energie shirt and pair it with a simple gray blazer to offset it. Imagine the visual offense I would've created if I had worn a BAPE sweater over it. So people, please stop lookin' like a rainbow puked all over your clothes.
