Colour combinations 2 - inspiration from nature

Tuesday, 20 December 2011

In my last colour combinations post I mentioned blue and brown as a pairing new to me.  As a man of traditional inclination I've always stuck to conventional colours in my clothes, but now, in my search for taste in middle age, I am open to inspiration form any quarter, including nature.  How about green and purple?


These pictures of heather in full flower were take on a happy holiday in the Lake District last August - some ideas here for a tweedy tie, suit or shirt and jumper combination maybe?

    Thanks for your comment on my blog. Good luck with your Christmas lunch. Love the pictures. Where are they taken they look like they might be the highlands of Scotland.
