Spring and Summer Patterns



Patterns are not like colors. For most events in summer, I like to keep my colors stronger, and my patterns weaker. This may well be a result of the fact that I'm fairly easily washed out, but the marled, complex look of patterns fits better with the cloudy skies and blooming trees of fall than the open skies and emerald fields of spring. With the darker colors come complexity, with the lighter color comes solidity. It's not a rule, it's just a thought.This is a good shot of Jude Law keeping his colors rich, but patterns subtle, and matching his browns with the browns of his skin and hair.

Exception may, of course, be made for madras and a few other things. Like I said, it's not a rule.
