Natural landscape is an overlooked inspiration for vehicle design as well as fashion. In some cases, earth tones speak louder than vibrant colors just as seeing the “No Service” indicator on a phone does not mean immediate danger. This week’s Wheels and Wardrobe focuses on discovering new roads while having the apparel and accessories to compliment the journey. The 2020 Land Rover Defender is the weapon of choice for conquering the climate and conditions of the outdoor environment.
