New Trends In Menswear – Milan menswear fashion week is over and another, Paris menswear, is about to begin this week. So we’ve been taking an interest in men’s clothing.
In summary…
Jackets were cut sharply with slim, defined shoulders and thin lapels: check out Raf Simons for Jil Sander. Trousers were cigarette cuts ending just above the ankle, often with something going on in that area: cuffs, roll-ups or zips (a la Gucci). Or they were baggy with pockets, in a nod to utility wear. We also saw the odd harem pant (but we’d prefer not to mention that).
Gucci, Prada and a few others showcased skinny ties, or no ties at all, with shirts buttoned up to the top and thin collars. Elsewhere we saw a lot of loose-fitting vests, generally with slashed fabric – we’d advise getting a tan before attempting to pull this off.
The safari look from last season carried on in many of the collections. Missoni had a lot of sunbleached khaki, which made the models look as if they’d spent a week traversing a desert. Versace used loose-fitting linens in a colonial look, involving tunic tops and trousers in shades of white and cream.
The other overriding influence was the eighties, but this was seen mainly in the shiny fabrics and trims rather than in the tailoring. There were no power shoulders here.
