Perfect symmetry: This is the jacket worth getting organized on right now

The half-and-half concept has been trying to position itself for several seasons, but apart from the black-and-white contrast, there has not been much success.

Recently, newer designs of blazers and coats divided in marvelous symmetry are flooding the feed, and the truth is - it looks great

As if we do not have enough ambivalent issues to deal with on a daily level it turns out that the fashion industry has not yet exhausted the half-and-half concept that for several seasons has been trying to take a place on the style map, with little success to be noted.

When one thinks of the suspicion that the general public has towards items served in a symmetrical division into two different colors and places it in front of the split visuals of the trend, it is hard not to marvel at the salient irony.

The half-and-half trend is actually a sub-trend that has developed under the Color Block category, which itself has been considered in the last decade to be a leading aesthetic in the worlds of design and beauty as well.

Only that in contrast to a casual or asymmetrical combination of shades, the halved connection is accompanied by a stiff vibe of troublesome effort on behalf of someone with OCD.

Obviously not a sexy feature.

Things that seem to have used measurement tools to create them star at the top of the list of topics that evoke our ambiguity towards them.

While there are cases where you really have to be precise, everything related to the fields of medicine and science for example, when it comes to certain fields we prefer to put the yes / no, zero / one out of the equation.

Just as there is hardly anyone who would declare "I count calories" versus "I love sports" and "prefer to eat healthy and balanced", so in clothing we will welcome those created with a more conscious and sophisticated approach.

The caveat described above is actually an insight that became clear to us very recently when we started noticing the newer designs in the cut that are meanwhile focused on coats and blazers.

It turns out that all it took for us to open our hearts in half was simply to move away from the black / white wording contrasts towards closer concrete pairs like white with off-white, light blue with blue, gray with khaki, brown with camel and the like.

Another option in the genre of upcoming shades can be seen in combining patterns with a tendency to such checkered ones.

On paper it may sound challenging, but in practice and after we've already fallen in love with outfits that mix different prints - it can actually work great.
