I have been seeing quite a lot of [fashion inspiration for women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) being pulled from supernatural sources and now, by the looks of the SADAK SS12 lookbook and collection, men are starting to follow suit. A [dark and devious](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx) line, these are no Gandalf the Grey outfits. Instead, they have a more sinister presence as that portrayed by Gandalf's nemesis Saruman the White.

Full of [black draping and layered looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection), the SADAK SS12 collection also focuses a lot of various textures, which give these outfits some much needed dimension. I especially like the zipper detail on the pants, which also allow them to be opened up from straight-legged to an almost harem fit.
