Tired of being plain? While keeping your wardrobe well-stocked with flat colours and 50 shades of beige might be the best way to make sure it’s easy getting dressed every morning, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the most rewarding, or, indeed, fun approach to constructing one’s own sartorial signature. Sometimes, in fact, the occasion calls for a little bit of personality, pizzazz and other punchy “p” words like that. So, we turn to patterns to liven things up – at times tricky to wear, but actually much easier to carry off than you might think. To demonstrate this lesser-known fact, MR PORTER has compiled the above video, featuring three patterned outfits to help you sail through the rest of the summer and onwards. Watch, and learn.
