SS17 Scandi street style

This guy is a walking compendium of comfy-cool Scandi staples. The sturdy brown work jacket, blue beanie and grey hoodie are doing stellar tonal work – the intellectual thick-framed specs and a little scrappy dog in complementary shades of tan make it the complete package.  

Sure, we can't all have an identical twin to do coordinated, all-monochrome, yin-yang dressing with, but here's a pro tip: get the coach jacket in white and black, then alternate which one you wear with your skinny cropped chinos and black T-shirt. It's the next best thing.

The one bad thing about the Scandinavian fashion weeks is that it becomes increasingly difficult to tell which are the uncannily handsome and well-put-together locals in impeccably minimalist casualwear, and which are the actual alien invaders assuming a suspiciously perfect human form. Luckily, the polka-dot socks on this one are a dead giveaway.

'Just woke up on a chilly-but-bright autumn morning and need to throw something on quickly to nip out and get milk'-chic is one of the hardest looks to pull off, but this guy's straight nailed it.

We've been singing the praises of pale pink for a while now, but, for some, it remains one of the more challenging colours in the menswear paintbox. If head-to-toe tonal isn't your bag, maybe work a blush T-shirt into a minimalist grey-and-white getup. Or, you know, do as this guy does and a throw a little pink cap on top of your all black streetwear and tatts for the smallest imaginable concession to the 2016 trendscape.
