MESSY MSXI X SHENTONISTA – The Unusual Suspects Part 3: Uniformed Highlander

Marching to his own beat in this outfit that’s a hodgepodge of styles, Darren carves a distinctive look that’s best described as Scottish highlander meets bagpiper-turned-mechanic. His fascination with uniforms of all sorts forms the building block for his style, where utilitarian and military-influenced pieces are a fixture in day-to-day wear. Here, his carefully curated jacket, shirt and tie sit alongside each other in a palette of soothing blues, while his navy backpack adds to that urban schoolboy look. Mixing it up with a pair of skorts and leggings bought in Korea, and shoes and socks in clashing hues, he carries off these off-kilter pairings with natural ease and aplomb. If Darren was a fruit, he would most likely be a mango.
