Un-expectations.

I was recently browsing through Tommy Ton for style.com's photos from the streets of Milan and noticed something uniting almost all the pictures, an unanticipated element of color. The past few seasons have been dragging in neutrals or super subtle pastels, which I won't say is a bad thing (I am an avid all-black wearer), however Tommy Ton's pictures proved otherwise from across the seas. From neon pink cardigans to rainbow buttons, a pop of color was added to all-camel, all-black, or all-gray ensembles at the menswear shows in Milan, making for an unexpected freshness and well-needed sigh of relief. Breaking up the all-neutral outfits, these bright hues take on almost neon tones and provides a sense of forward styling and newness.

Things to Note:

1. Super saturated, a puffer vest being worn with suiting, OR, just wear color-blocked suiting
2. Neon trimmed cardigans, furs and shoe soles
3. Bold brights seen on socks and hosiery
4. Cuffed pants reveal colorful prints
5. Rainbow stripes or highlighter hued florals decorating menswear scarves

Interesting choices - I personally enjoy them all (but I really love those acid-yellow/green soled snake skin oxfords)... what do you think? Do you like this styling trend?
