Last year I walked into Blue Owl to check out a pair of OrSlow's fatigue pants in black stone that actually gave deep purple tones IRL. Wouldn't have guessed from the images online — another reason to Cop IRL Only.

I'd been struggling to get them to sync up with the rest of my wardrobe for a while until I started throwing browns in the mix and they've become my favorite pants. This article opened my eyes to the colorful possibilities, and I've been emboldened to get freaky with the fits.

Willem DaGod's presence is a subtle reminder that this lewk carries risk of Jokercore if heavyhanded

You had me at LOAMY RAISINS

But yah, purple is SO underrated. I have a gorgeous deep purple duster that I found last year at hmmm, Nordstroms? I grabbed that baby so fast the hanger sizzled. Goes with everything, colorwise.

Expecting a lot of brown too as I’ve noticed a lot of guys mix up purple and brown at no fault of their own (that y chromosome’s color-blindness be like that sometimes)

deep/dusty yurps + earth tones and/or blacks is such a great combo, been loving those pairings all fall and see no signs of slowing down. Glad to get the spyplane seal of approval. Scored a lightly used example of this killer 2019 arc colorway for a steal this fall, skiing kit reaching new heights this season: https://bumps.com.au/arcteryx-ms-rush-jacket-phantom-king.html

I love the plummier purples here and was just recently thinking about how Tyrian Purple is such a great historic color and so hard to find. It's ready for a renaissance.
