Taking it easy @ Sc Design

Although I certainly have my steampunk, goth and grunge leanings, contemporary casual menswear is still a staple in my wardrobe.  Designer Scherina Montgomery is doing some fairly impressive design work in this arena.  These items, recently released at Sc Design, are today’s case in point.  For me, one of the fun things about designs like this is that they’re often non-specific enough, stylistically speaking, to mix it up successfully with other, more obviously “genre” gear.  Today I’ve thrown together a kind of bad-boy emo-neko grunge-kitty look that I think kind of works.  Come on, it’s fun, try it!  You know you want to. 

Scherina’s “Steve” shirts have the look and lines of a classic polo, and I know what you’re thinking–everybody’s got polos, they’re a dime a dozen.  Look closely, though, and you’ll see that the front buttons run full length, not just two or three at the collar.  The pattern of horizontal stripes is an eye-grabber, and eight different color combos are available.  I was apparently feeling the monochromatic thing and ultimately restricted myself to shades of grey, but you can also choose from some brighter colors.  These shirts are priced at L$99 for singles, which includes tucked and untucked versions on various clothing layers.  Two different packs of shirts in four color combos are also available for L$299 each.  The “Billy” shorts (available in Grey and Blue Washed) are just L$59 each.  Note the “accidentally” undone top button.
