It's especially in time of soupy, springtime rains that deep jewel tones remind me of African earth and fauna. For this weekend look, I've mixed of patterns: the slight camouflage feel of the T-shirt and the chic 1970s all-over pattern in the shorts remixed with a clunky sandal and a perfect pair of explorer/aviator sunglasses. Top it off with a colonial touch: a sturdy and soft cap that's a new take on the straw hat. Bring a bit of the African jungle to this urban jungle.
