Men’s designer clothing
When talking about men’s designer clothing, we are talking about such a vast and varied world that at times it may overtake its female counterpart in terms of inspiration and fusion. Today, men’s clothing is increasingly richer and accessorised, satisfying the demands of men who play with fashion and know how to have fun when choosing the most suitable colour and fabrics.
Men’s wardrobes are varied but some outfits remain classic and timeless icons, such as the basic items that can be mixed and matched for striking combinations. We are talking, for example, of shirts, windbreakers and denim jackets, of double-breasted jackets and formal British ties, or tuxedo suits inspired by English gents and their neat and tidy uniforms. With these must-have items, men’s wardrobes are equipped for all occasions; to widen the selection, we can add a trench coat and raincoat for the bad weather, some winter coats, and a section dedicated to men’s accessories. Another essential clothing item is of course denimwear: ultra-versatile as with all respectable casual-chic wear.
How should a man dress to be always smart and neat? Shirts are the essential that every man needs in his wardrobe: to understand which model is best for a certain dresscode, we need to look at the collar. The Italian or French-style collar, with starched points, are recommended for formal and smart occasions, while Korean, button-down, club and diplomatic collars are more informal and can be comfortably worn with more casual outfits. Knitwear is also a popular staple, with the revival of the sweater and V-neck pullover, possibly with a diamond pattern according to the latest trend. Finally, jackets are the pièce de resistance in menswear, requiring clever selection of lengths and volumes. Long and straight in smart suits (dinner jackets and white tie), they become tighter at the waist in casual chic versions, for example in Italian designs with short hems and 3/4 length sleeves. Details on a jacket also make a difference: it can be enhanced with coordinated cufflinks, a silk handkerchief, or ceramic and wood elements, as sanctioned by cutting edge brands. Among the most popular brands of the last few years, we can name examples such as Dsquared2, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Palm Angels, and icons such as Valentino Garavani and D&G who represent the Italian class and creativity that is known and respected worldwide. Each brand has its own mood and philosophy, embodying a particular character.
Balenciaga Menswear
Balenciaga is a French fashion house from the creative mind of the Spanish designer which cleverly blends the austere precision from North of the Alps with that of the hotblooded Iberian peninsula. The result is a perfect mix of pure cutting edge creativity and precision, for clean-cut and minimalist outfits with some out-of-the-box strokes of genius. The men’s designer clothing collections from Balenciaga continually pursue hi-tech and fusion ideas with a street fashion influence, without ever losing the element of French class and sophistication. When Paris and Madrid, Lyons and Barcelona come together, the result is a fusion-packed style brimming with unrestricted imagination. The contrast between two cultures which are only seemingly different produces a guaranteed ‘wow’ effect.
Alexander McQueen Menswear
Alexander McQueen is a brand loved above all by pop stars, musicians and celebrities for its ultra-glamorous style. The English brand has always played with lengths and volumes, for outfits that mix genres and styles. In Alexander McQueen’s designer menswear collections some of the best-loved items are the floor-length coats, the futuristic uniforms that appear to have just arrived from outer space, and the floating sneakers reminiscent of a spaceship. Any man who today loves Alexander McQueen’s style is surely a very original and charismatic figure, always in search of the best way to create amazement with his look. The creativity and fantasy of Sarah Burton reflect the introspective yet genius spirit of the artist Lee Alexander McQueen, combining the cutting edge character of emerging artists with the cultural legacy of the brand.
Palm Angels Menswear
Palm Angels is an extrovert Italian brand, emerging and super-fresh: menswear has never been so close to the beaches of Los Angeles, yet with all the quality of Made in Italy artisan production. The brand has set itself the mission of offering customers clothing that is finished perfectly, items which are entirely Made in Italy. The result of this fusion between the Belpaese Italy and international US character has produced fleeces, trousers and overalls, hoodies and urbanwear jackets that call to mind the coolness of surfers and the brilliant colours of Californian beaches. A special mention goes to the collection of sneakers by Palm Angels, flat with high-impact design, versatile and wearable also with a formal suit complete with jacket and tie (along with a surfboard under your arm).
