In praise of hi-viz...

...detailing.

No I have not taken leave of my senses and suddenly fallen in love with space lemon garments.

This season's must have street clothing ranges from a whole gamut of Nordic designers have hi-viz detailing. Bindings, edging and, especially, zips in lime, yellow and orange.

The Nordics eschew colourful clothing as a general rule. Everyone wears black, white in summer, or fifty shades of gray. (Apart from male Swedish peacocks who like a vibrant coloured pocket square.) When I come back to the UK my optic nerves ache as soon as I get on the train at Gatwick because of all the colourful clothes people wear.

I know own a vey nice Mads Norgaard cardigan with a flouro-orange zipper. tlh will hate it.

Picture doesn't do justice to the eyeball searing-ness of the zipper

The only thing we have in common, apart from the jumper, is the hair cut.

PS Looks like the gig has run its course and I'll be back in Blighty for the winter. Where my new jumper will come in very handy.

When I had cause to go to SVG, the dark clothing thing was, indeed, a thing. But people augmented it with twirly reflective discs, attached to the coat in the manner of a fob watch, and produced from a pocket when the wearer was going outside. I've got a Phillips Petroleum branded one somewhere.

Not seen that here yet. But I suspect the Danes are all home before it gets dark with candles lit all Hygge-stylee and cosy-like. And, of course, all bikes are fitted with lights.
