Balance

What's balance in a wardrobe?  And how do you achieve it ?

Look at this famous football player, dressed perfectly.  Part of the reason is balance.   He has combined the traditional with the fashion forward, tempering their weaknesses and magnifying their strengths.  


The grey pinstripe suit and the striped shirt are conservative.  The tie and the pocket square are fashion forward because they're not traditional in pattern nor color.   The Scarlett is daring.  Notice how they prevent the suit and shirt from being stodgy; yet the suit and shirt restrain the tie and pocket square, turning down their their volume to a pleasant surprise.   

The winning combination says: Confidence.  His clothing says he's daring, but in control.  Reliable, but not predictable.  He's at the peak of influence and power, writing his own rules while respecting the old ones, and enjoying himself while doing it. 

Cheers!
