Tiger Stripes
Mascot: Tony the Tiger, Frosted Flakes
Danny Brown's Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals jacket is totally Grrrrr-eat!
Chic Sailors
Mascot: Cap'n Crunch, Cap'n Crunch
The theme of this John Galliano collection was clearly "Crunchitize me, Cap'n!"
Bunny Ears
Mascot: Trix Rabbit, Trix
Trix are for kids, Comme des Garcons however, isn't.
Excessive Fur Coats
Mascot: The Crazy Craving, Honeycomb
Remember this '90s mascot? Kids would turn into him when they needed a bowl of Honeycomb. We're guessing Kanye West was one of those guys.
Colored Jackets and Baseball Caps
Mascot: Dig'em Frog, Smacks
Kellog's Smacks mascot is probably the best -dressed creature in the cereal kingdom. Channeling his style is a smart move.
Multicolor Everything
Mascot: Toucan Sam, Fruit Loops
Street style veteran Wanny Di Filippo is no stranger to standing out. It'd make sense if he started every morning with a bowl of Fruit Loops to help him decide which colors to wear.
Pointy Everything
Mascot: Count Chocula, Count Chocula
Gareth Pugh subconsciously paid homage to the chocolaty cereal mascot in this design.
Pastel Frankenstein Looks
Mascot: Franken Berry, Franken Berry
Thom Browne's A/W 2012 collection was no doubt inspired by his childhood breakfasts.
Green Coats and Hats
Mascot: Lucky Leprechaun, Lucky Charms
Not only magically delicious, they're stylishly delicious too.
Owl Masks
