Introduction

We Brits are a funny bunch. First signs of sunshine and we’re outside, lighting the barbeques and reaching for our high summer wardrobes – and rightfully so!

After slogging our way through a long winter layered up in thick knits and outerwear, we’ve more than earned the right to don brighter colours and lighter garments. Which is why we’re excited to try out one of the trends we spotted at London Collections: Men SS14 – colour segmentation.

From block-colour separates to pieces with multi-coloured sections and details, segmented colour is a great way to inject some freshness and excitement into your look this season.

So whether you want to make a statement or are looking for a more refined approach to the trend, we’ve got it covered…

On The Runway

Colour segmentation could be seen everywhere at London Collections, where models acted as canvases for bold and eye-popping art. This vibrant display of block-hues and segmented pieces was enough to make any man with enough confidence want to give it a go.

E. Tautz mixed bright shades with darker colours to create a real impact, although it was the red and green segmented coloured tee constructed from hi-shine fabric that really stole the show. We loved how it was paired with a traditional hat – the perfect mix of contemporary and classic:

As usual, Christopher Shannon took a more daring approach with toxic fluorescent hues making up outfits of a single colour.

Although we’re not ready to advocate wearing these pieces on the high street just yet, it definitely made for an interesting visual showcase:

Elsewhere, Agi & Sam layered tonal hues together for a far more wearable approach to the trend.

We particularly loved the segmented coat in a grey/orange mix. However, it might have been better suited for everyday use if the colours were reversed and the sleeves were slightly more fitted:
