There's nothing worse than a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing, a sentiment echoed by Grifters SS 2014 collection. Its website, quite accurately, writes, "Nothing is grimmer than the tragedy that wears a comic mask." Indeed, masks are a big part of the collection, coming in a wide variety of patterns and colors.

Considering the [vivid color palette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) and [eclectic prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2), the masks are more of an homage to Spring Breakers than your traditional bank robber; however, if masks aren't really your thing, you can still take part in the fun by donning a mask-emblazoned sweater or t-shirt. If you're really daring, you can wear both!

Models Vincent Comerfod, Izabela Zochowaska, Charlotte Gardiner, Benjamin Motoc and Arunaud Sommier certainly pull off the dual-mask look, but I can't guarantee that you won't get a few funny looks if you try the same.
