Stripes meet checksSeen in Girona, Spain

Community photo

Girona, Spain
Stripes meet checks
Why it works
Broad stripes and small checks aren't trying to match. Dark blue gives them common ground; black flats bring the volume down at exactly the right moment.

Barcelona, Spain
The shirt shows
Why it works
The white shirt escapes at the collar and hem of the black jumper. Red jeans are already a decision; violet trainers stop it looking like the only one.

Barcelona, Spain
Cobalt, then quiet
Why it works
The coat takes all the blue. Black knit and grey microchecks don't compete, but they don't vanish either. A little order makes the colour easier to see.
Yellow between shelvesSeen in Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona, Spain
Yellow between shelves
Why it works
Blue shirting shows beneath the yellow cardigan, and navy trousers pick up the colour without repeating the gesture. You needn't dress like the bookshop to walk into it.
The orange bagSeen in Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen, Denmark
The orange bag
Why it works
Cobalt coat, dark knit and worn jeans: reasonably calm so far. The orange bag arrives when another colour wasn't needed. That's why it works.
Red beneath plumSeen in Paris, France

Paris, France
Red beneath plum
Why it works
The red polo makes no attempt to soften the plum coat. Navy trousers give both colours room, and the gloves repeat red exactly once.
