PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER KNOWS A GOOD COLOR COMBO

He might be comparatively under-dressed on the last season of The White Lotus (we miss it already...), but Patrick Schwarzenegger’s off-screen style is serving up some seriously tasty suiting. Attending the The Last of Us premiere in Sydney, the actor sweetened his traditional tailoring with chocolate brown and baby blue – an easy-wearing combo that takes the seriousness out of the suit. Want more fun from your smarter pieces this season? Follow Patrick’s lead with these picks.

START WITH TASTY TONES

Powdery pastels ruled London Fashion Week this season, and Patrick’s matching shirt and blazer prove they’re here to stay. Bottega Veneta’s delicious alt-suits are showcasing a more playful take on formal dressing, and with summer approaching, pale shades are giving tailoring a more relaxed edge. Prefer casual? Color drenching works just as well with a tee and cardie.

LEAVE ROOM FOR CHOCOLATE

Brighter shades don’t mean going overboard. Balance dusty pastels with earthy neutrals for a pop of color that still feels grounded and wearable. And it’s for the best – chocolate brown is everywhere.

PLAY WITH ACCESSORIES 

Color is your playground – no need to dive in headfirst. If you’re unsure about dipping your toe in the pastel pool, start with subtle pops in your socks, shoes or shades. If Timmy’s scarf rotation proves anything, it’s that accessories are running the show. Small? Sure. But they still make a statement.
