Thanks for everyone who entered their anti-synergistic / style-assymetric fit.
Cast your votes within this week! As a reminder the entries are below:



Tried this for the challenge by combining designers/brands that might not conventionally be mixed. But looking at it now it's just a bomber, high-waisted, flared jeans and some sneakers.
Thought I'd throw it up anyway to get the ball rolling and might edit it out with something better if I can be more creative before the challenge ends.



Final Home
Jean Paul Gaultier
Nike



YYPH Jacket and Trousers; Raf Simons x Adidas Super Trekker; Alexander Wang bag

Nothing really synergises with these shoes to be honest.
Here's a try. Not sure if there's anti synergy here or if it's just not terribly exciting one way or another.

Heineken sponsored Save the Miami Marine Stadium tee (almost no viz)
Epaulet x 2
Attila

I'd be interested in any critiques for how to introduce more anti synergy.


eg / story / w+h / nike

Found the kidcrash's advice really interesting. So here's my attempt.

My thought process for this challenge was to try and mix up prints patterns that I wasn't sure would play well with one another (tie dye / camo / plaid). Most of my clothing is black, so I wanted to use that as a link between everything. To be honest, I had a lot of fun putting rose camo underneath tie dye, it's something I might try again with a different pair of pants. I also considered wearing some sort printed button down but probably won't get favorable lighting / street conditions before the end of the challenge so this is what I've got.

I had something more interesting planned, more specifically the same top but with grey pleated loose trousers and white sneakers. Unfortunately the weather here has been really **** this week so had to switch out the bottom part to something more weather appropiate.



Anyway, the outfit as originally intended would have been the "streetwear" sneakers, oversized graphic print and cap together with the more "dressy" shirt and trousers.

Now it's still the sweatshirt and cap, but instead with wool trousers, cotton shirt and boots, which while still being sort of an unusual mix (the oversized sweatshirt anyway) resulted in a significantly less exciting outfit. Oh well, atleast I participated
