# Contrasted Color Menswear The Commons & Sense Man #11 Images Were Shot Against a Clean Backdrop By Andrew Loh | Published 2011-11-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-blocking-menswear-editorials References: [beforeyoukillusall.blogspot](http://beforeyoukillusall.blogspot.com/2011/11/editorial-commons-sense-man-11-feat-rj.html) & [zschernitz](http://www.zschernitz.com/) The Commons & Sense Man #11 editorial shoot shows [color-blocking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) at work, which never fails to excite the viewer. Against the clean and [minimalistic studio backdrop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit), model trio RJ King, Matthew Hitt and William Eustace look absolutely classy and chic wearing a selection of chromatic fall ensembles of comfortable loose-fitted shirts, dapper blazers, warm turtlenecks, knitted cardigans, sleek trench coats with a pair of smart chinos and trousers to complete the overall look. Lensed by London-based fashion photographer Stefan Zschernitz, the Commons & Sense Man #11 shoot epitomizes the saying “keep it simple," as it stays away from complicated prints and patterns, and instead just relies solely on a breadth of colors to work its magic. Hopefully the Commons & Sense Man #11 shoot by Stefan Zschernitz will inspire more men to step out of their comfort zone and start embracing colors, rather than shy away from it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Color-blocking Menswear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a line of color-blocked menswear that combines vibrant hues in unique and unexpected combinations. - **Minimalistic Studio Shoots:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a photography studio that specializes in clean and minimalistic shoots, attracting clients seeking a sleek aesthetic. - **Embracing Color in Men's Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Launch a fashion brand that encourages men to embrace color in their wardrobes, offering trendy and vibrant options for all occasions. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced photo editing software specifically designed for fashion photographers to streamline their workflow and enhance image quality. - **Men's Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invent a new fabric technology that allows for vibrant and long-lasting color in menswear, revolutionizing the industry with more versatile and expressive clothing options. - **Fashion Consulting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a consulting firm that specializes in helping men build colorful and stylish wardrobes, providing personalized advice and guidance on incorporating color into their fashion choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Summer-Inspired Vibrant Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-rebel.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md) - [Understated Luxury Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coofandy.md) - [Refined Utility Tailoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026.md) - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md)
