This month we’re looking to Clan Forbes for tartan styling inspiration. The blues and greens found in the Forbes tartans tie in perfectly with many of this season’s trends, so look no further than October’s clan of the month!
WhoWhatWear.co.uk states that one of the key trends for autumn/winter 21’ is to incorporate highly saturated colours into your wardrobe saying “uplifting juxtapositions between core colours and energetic brights” are they way to lift spirits in the dull winter months. “Blues, greens and pinks are currently the top-stocked brights” according to WhoWhatWear, so the Forbes Ancient tartan is the perfect place to start with this trend. The bright greens and blues combine into a beautiful uplifting colour pallet that is best when worn with neutral colours for a more toned-down look.
For accessories, the bigger the bag the better for autumn/winter! “Between the masks, anti-bac gels, just-in-case layers, homemade lunchboxes, reusable coffee cups and laptop cases, we need serious bags to take the serious load”
Go for a large messenger bag in the Forbes Ancient for a big impact even with the most simple outfit! This classic style will see you throughout the seasons and suits long weekends away as well as big shopping trips.
For the men, large overcoats are recommended by menswearstyle.co.uk; “Winter’s coming – so why shouldn’t you have a high-quality overcoat?”
A classic overcoat in a tartan will stand out from the crowd, and with it being made to measure you can guarantee the best fit! The Forbes Modern lends itself well to adding interest to a simple navy or black suit without being frighteningly bold - an easy touch of timeless sophistication that is sure to see you looking great for years to come!
Menswear suits this season have also been bolder on the runway, experimenting with velvet detailing, higher waistlines, and double-breasted features. If you’re a big fan of a unique look, now is the best time to experiment and change up your formal looks! Choose a double breasted waistcoat in Forbes Dress Modern to pair with a jacket and trousers in the Forbes Modern for a fun take on the three piece. Add velvet flap pockets and collar in a navy colour if you would like a more extravagant look, and pair with simple brogue shoes and a solid colour tie to complete the look.
We love to see photographs of how you style your Forbes tartans and your favourite ways to wear them, so send us your photos and styling tips!
