Contrast Pockets

"Contrast pockets, as with collars provide easy updates to seasonal staples across both formal and casual shirting. Coordinate refined decorative patterns with internals for a smarter feel, or match patch pocket patterns to your collar and cuff. Patchworked placements and artisan patch applications complement textured cottons and brushed wool fabrications, while translucent effects and hidden pocket detailing add a bespoke finish." (2013, WGSN: Online)

Contrast Collars

"Contrast collar details refresh both formal and casual looks through pattern, colour and texture. Split fabric panelling, asymmetrical contrast and edge-bound collar accents add directional interest. Core basics are reworked through commercial applications that include micro-patterned buttondown, contrast-coloured corduroy and striped knit collars."

Contrast Pockets and Panels

'Contrast pockets and panels continue to be a commercial way of adding surface interest to men's shirt and T-shirt designs. Collaged prints and fabric panels opt for a cut-and-paste style.'

Colour-blocking

'Colour-blocking remains relevant for another season and is further evolved through experimental placements, with particular focus on the yoke area, through front focus, horizontal splits and more

directional angled panel dissection. Chest band highlights and deconstructed panels reference varsity influences.'
