MESSY MSXI X SHENTONISTA – The Unusual Suspects Part 8: Soul Brother

A delight to meet, Charlie exudes the curious, tenacious spirit of youth that’s underscored with a quiet confidence. Clad in a light colour ensemble of cream and blue, he pairs a button-down oxford shirt with a light blue windbreaker and honeycomb-knitted tie – a symphony of textures that complement each other in fine harmony. Accessories including a tie clip, badges and a non-descript watch add depth and detail, while skinny jeans in indigo, and desert boots in a milky shade of taupe lend a casual, street-wise air to the look. Charlie counts musicians like Jeff Buckley, Damien Rice and Erika Badu as inspiration, and would best describe his sound as ‘mellow, but not too melodramatic’. Check out Charlie’s music here.
