ALL IN THE DETAILS: Flamingo Strong

One day in the fashion universe, patterns and prints were created, and it was magical. Heavenly designers make patterns to spike up their collection to the next level and to make their mark. I believe the best patterns are the random ones, and by random, I mean spontaneous.

On the runway, you see numerous patterns and prints that are chic and willingly eye-catching. For example, Prada’s spring menswear 2016 collection displays several eye- catching prints and patterns while Dries Van Noten has a Marilyn print nostalgia. Patterns are the stamp of a brand’s creativity. For example, these flamingos on this Fashionisto’s shirt are sporting a pair of Nikes. This print was obviously modified by Nike’s brand and done well.

Let’s get down to the super fly details and talk about this Fashionisto’s outfit.This Fashionisto killed it with his matching outfit from the Villa in Highland Park. He is wearing a flamingo graphic T-shirt, flamingo patterned shorts and a pair of Jordans. I saw this Fashionisto on my way to work, and I had to stop him before his attire flew away. His outfit is obviously one of a kind. Where can one easily come across a flamingo outfit? Can you say elusive? This Fashionisto may be wearing a pink flamingo pattern, but his tough persona remains strong. They say, “Only real men wear pink.”

How To: Don’t get intimidated by the intensely RAD patterns, my friends. Find a patterned garment that fits your style and that is eye-catching. You can double up on the patterns, like this Fashionisto did, or match a patterned piece with a solid.
