Ein neues Hemd. Und auch noch eins, bei dem ich nicht sofort wusste, wie ich es denn genau anziehen soll. Jede Menge Farben, kreuz und quer, einfach ziemlich verrückt, aber gleichzeitig ein Anzughemd. Also entschied ich mich, das Ganze etwas runterzuschrauben, mit schwarz-weissen Klamotten. Selbst der Hintergrund ist sehr schlicht und hauptsächlich weiss gehalten. Das einzige was dann nochmal etwas gewagter ist, wäre die Krawattenspange. (Das war das erste Mal, dass ic hdieses Wort je benutzt hab .. manchmal ist Deutsch schon ne etwas komische Sprache, haha!) Ich werde auf jeden Fall noch weiter mit dem Hemd experimentieren! Wie hättet ihr es angezogen?

A new shirt. And quite frankly one that I didn’t know how to wear right away. Lots of color, a heavy pattern, and just kind of crazy, but a dress shirt at the same time. I decided to go with very neutral colors, i.e. black and almost white to “tone it down”. Even in terms of photography, we shot the outfit against a fairly plain white background. The only thing that keeps the “crazy” of the shirt going is the skull tie bar. I’ll definitely keep experimenting! How would you have worn the shirt?

    I am not a huge fan of wearing super colorful things with black. I probably would have work it with lighter neutrals, to make it more summery/springy. Like white jeans and that blazer you have on except maybe a navy knit tie and lighter suede shoes. Just my personal preference, but I can definitely see how that shirt is hard to figure out what to wear with. You did well choosing neutrals for sure.

      Hey Minge,

      thanks for the thoughtful comment 🙂 No, you’re right, it’s all black! To be honest, I wasn’t crazy about the black either – not necessarily because of the shirt, personally, but more so because of the harsh contrast with the blazer. Navy would have looked great, probably better, agreed, but then there’s also the point of me always wearing navy and trying to switch it up haha #bloggerproblems

      Thanks again,

      Marcel
