Coordinated separates, single-breasted suit jackets, metallic luxuriant jumpers – from silk to cashmere to wool and specialised knits – seem to be the pairings of the season. Bright colours, previously clashing patterns, and daring choices. Sunglasses, trainers, and hats. Anything goes in suiting this season so dig out your most daring prints and hit the town. Take a look at our choices for New York Fashion Week, men’s runway style.
Todd Synder
The Todd Snyder runway show featured colour updates, sandals, Converse, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas style hats, tucked in belts, t-shirts, and colourful button ups. And would you wear your Letterman jersey (if you went to an American high school) over your favourite suit? All looks were colour-coordinated but deviated from more traditional suit styles in their pairings. Is a plum suit the new in colour? What about a striped t-shirt underneath a tartan wool suit? Or even bright orange? What do you think of these new looks? Have a gander.
Carlos Campos
The runway show for Carlos Campos demonstrated the designer’s use of colour. Featured suits included a single breasted more-traditional cut suit with pointed lapels and two gold buttons with a model wearing a grey t-shirt underneath and yellow tennis shoes. Another suit in a light burnt-orange-pink coloured single-breasted suit paired with a bright yellow t-shirt and white-and-orange-soled-trainers. The runway also saw a canary-bright-yellow single-breasted suit with a grey t-shirt and white trainers with an orange sole again. The more daring cuts included a double-breasted suit in a pink-orange fabric with a yellow-colour block, no shirt, and trainers. Then the designer mixed it up by adding a tie belt to the same pink-orange colour fabric with a double-breasted suit. Have you ever seen a suit with a tie belt? The Honduras-born designer also added those same white and orange trainers and a yellow t-shirt underneath. What do you think of these colour choices? Would you rock a yellow suit to a garden party? Or a colour block suit to a wedding? What do you think? Have a look at this season’s style.
Tom Ford
Tom Ford’s runway show displayed a mix of more traditional single-breasted suit cuts with slim-fit trousers in greys and blacks mixed with more daring fabric choices. Like Carols Campos with silk suits this season, Ford also opted for daring colours and fabrics. From animal prints to bright colours to space-age silver. Tom Ford’s runway show does not disappoint. He even mixes in some monochromatic cream silk suits with collar pins and luxurious silk ties. The models all wear chunky sunglasses and loafer-style shoes. He pairs the blazers either with turtleneck jumpers in shiny metallic knit fabrics or button-up looks with ties. The fabrics coordinate perfectly and even the patterns that ‘clash’ look impeccably styled. Would you opt for any of these more bold looks?
