HOW HE WEARS IT A/W 2015

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR “It is both delusional and stupid to think that clothes don’t really matter and we should all wear whatever we want. Most people don’t take clothing seriously enough, but whether we should or not, clothes do talk to us and we make decisions based on people’s appearances.”

- G. Bruce Boyer For Autumn/Winter 2015 it comes to little surprise to us that men are embracing color now more than ever. Trends are emerging from the streets and becoming one with runway style. We have projected four new looks for the upcoming season, each of which has it’s own story to tell. Isolation, is our first trend predition, exuding a futuristic winter ensemble with fabrics emulating textures such as marble, wood and water. Moutains and snowy landscapes are the designers’ main influence for this season.

Structure is our second trend, where warm tones of grey stand out as a strong message, from darkest lead through to shades of lighter mineral. Rich blues, from dark indigo to lapis, update navy, along with timeless black. Traditional tones of dark camel and olive refresh seasonal neutrals, while warm reds such as oxblood and raisin remain relevant for evening-inspired looks.

Darker, saturated levels are coming through at the directional fashion end of the market, including Hunter green, bitter chocolate and damson.

In our trend titled Effervesence, bright and bold colors such as canary yellow, tangerine, evergreen and sky blue bright up any man’s waredrobe this winter. It’s vibrance brings life to winter jackets, pants, sweaters and more.

Here’s where things spice up with our final trend Metallica. This was an unexpected fabric trend with the introduction of metallic finishes – especially metallic leathers, emphasizing the cooler end of the color spectrum, with cool peacock blues and jade greens working alongside blush golds to update core silhouettes such as the biker and commuter coat. This furturistic trend is sure to surpirse everyone!

Enjoy!

Designers took inspiration from natural elements such as marble, wood, water, mountains and the atmosphere. Marble was one of the most popular prints, creating a textural surface that also provided an alternative to traditional camouflage. Like marble, wood created a textured look with both muddied and photoreal grain prints. Additional prints extended from snow-capped mountains to the stratosphere.

For Autumn/Winter 15, structure and color remains important for tailored looks, where warm tones of grey stand out as a strong message, from darkest lead through to shale and lighter mineral. Rich blues, from dark indigo to lapis, update navy, along with timeless black. Traditional tones of dark camel and olive refresh seasonal neutrals, while warm reds such as oxblood and raisin remain relevant for evening-inspired looks.
