It’s time for the final instalment of the  Basel Lookbook, in which our friend and fashion advisor Ceri David casts an eye over the best releases of Baselworld and suggests what might look nice to wear with them. Thanks Ceri, it’s been a blast.

The colour brown is the ultimate dark horse. Never showy, never demanding, always getting on with things while the other, brighter colours steal all the glory. (Don’t get us started on red. Such an attention seeker.) Well, it stops here. Brown: we love you. And we’re teaming this brown Bremont with even more brown from the Balmain runway, to show our support. (Take that, red, you big show-off.)

What does it go with?

Burberry SS16

If you don’t yet have a double-breasted suit in your closet, what are you waiting for? Granted, we all grew up associating the style with chaps of a more elderly, portly stature, but this hip young thang on the Burberry runway proves you don’t need to be anywhere near gout territory to rock it well. Putting it with this Oris also gives you a chance to have a go at mixing your blues and greens, from cerulean and azure to emerald and olive. Yes – even with red hair.

Florals are big for gents this year, but unless you’re happy looking like a set of unruly herbaceous borders, keep it contained. Don’t, for example, go for a full floral three-piece suit, unless you’re feeling very brave. A jumper such as this beauty by McQ keeps the trend at street level, as does teaming it with a fairly minimal watch, like this one.

What is this Baselworld we speak of so often? Baselworld is the world’s biggest watch fair, held annually in Basel, Switzerland. We went, we saw, we made a video. It explains everything (headphones recommended, it’s loud).
