Pattern-Clashing Menswear Editorials

The Wall Street Journal Thomas Lohr Photoshoot is Mismatched

The Wall Street Journal Magazine editorial titled The Clash is currently on display as a part of the publication's July/August 2014 issue. Photographer Thomas Lohr worked alongside stylist David Parker who put together a series of mismatched ensembles.

In spite of evident pattern clashing between pin stripes, flannel and geometric patterns, the collection of menswear pieces still went together flawlessly. The Wall Street Journal Magazine team was thus able to accomplish the difficult feat with high end fabrics and cuts, making yet another convincing case for the pervasive style of dress.

According to the associated description, The Clash encourages readers to be bold in their fashion choices. If readers take pointers from these ensembles, they will definitely be daring in every regard.
