STRAIGHT UP FASHION FOR REAL PEOPLE
KNIT WIT Pg. 5
2012 is here and it's time to seize the day. Don't even think about finishing that eggnog, 2011 is over and you've got a new year to start. January is about transition from old to new and the idea of embarking on new journeys and surprising yourself. To help you prep for warmer times ahead (far far ahead, but ahead nonetheless), we take a look at light weight knits we can't live without and it's all in the details as we take a closer look at some of the subtle (and not so subtle) details being embraced in men's wear.

SPRING BLING This January's jewels are all about candy coated colour mixed with organic textures and details.
We know it's still quite chilly out there and just because the holidays are over and we're onto a new year doesn't mean we're all ready to start sporting tanks and flip flops. Accessories are always a great place to start because you can wear them NOW. So lift your spirits this January with a major injection of colour.

Space Dye Easily mistaken for Heathered fabric, Space Dye has a similar look but different process which allows for more variation and colours. The process involves dying different lengths of yarns different colours, which will produce a random pattern when knit into fabric. The technique means every piece is one of a kind and every inch of fabric is unique.

WE DISSECT OUR FAVOURITE SILHOUETTES AND STYLING
Half vest half sweater, yet not a sweater vest, the Inverted Trapezoid is essentially an upside down triangle with the bottom point cut off. Typically wide and loose at the shoulders while snug at the waist, often ending in a wide band. The sleeves are made simply by extending the shoulder seam and the armholes are usually quite long, so you should probably wear a camisole underneath this guy.

Dolman Sleeve A fine machine knit technique that produces accordion style zig zag stripes and is often combined with open-knit details. This lightwearing knit is often used in looser fitting styles and drapes really well. In the Bat-Wing style shown here, it could be worn with either a camisole or a long sleeve top underneath. Pattern can be monochromatic, like this one, or very bright and multi-coloured.
Flattering and easy to wear, it's no wonder the Dolman sleeve is everywhere right now. This sleeve has a sophisticated, draped look caused by a very large armhole extending to a very narrow opening at the end. Styles range from a shallow drop to very deep and baggy at the arm hole. The name Dolman comes from a style of Turkish robe and the Dolman sleeve has surfaced a few times since its first height in popularity in the 1940s.

Though menswear tends to be a bit more laid back than ladies fashions, we've seen some cool new detail cropping up that we just couldn't keep to ourselves. Incorporate any of these into your wardrobe to set yourself apart without it becoming excessive.
METAL INFLUENCE Extra rivets and metallic details are popping up everywhere and add some edge without being dramatic or heavy.
SIMPLE STITCHES A few extra stitches in a thicker thread add a little bit of interest to any woven shirt. www.warehouseone.com

RAW EDGE Everything from leather details on back pockets to unfinished edges on woven shirts, raw edges on a classic piece show you can put yourself together but you're a little rough around the edges.
2PLY POCKETS Double layer pockets add some depth to your look regardless of whether the extra pockets are functional or simply fashionably fake. www.warehouseone.com
