As the days become colder, it’s becoming clear that summer is officially over and with autumn/winter season fast approaching, it’s a high time to look at the forthcoming fashion trends that’ll be making their way to your closet during the next six months.
As usually there are types of garments you can’t live without during cold winter days.
The most needed one is coat.
We definitely say that classic tweed coats are back in fashion but it may be more appropriate to say they are still in fashion. This fabric express a high level of perfection and a royal elegance that can not be duplicated.
In season 2011/2012 you can find tweed jackets in many colors, textures and cuts.
As tweed is woollen fabric with a soft, flexible texture, it not only keeps you warm and cozy but it helps create a modish look.
The high-quality of the tweed fabric can be found in all this season designer collections including Gucci and Armani ( beautiful pieces at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tFHCtT1vTI ).Military Style Coat is all around inspiration for winter 2011/2012.
This kind of look works perfect for those men who really love to experiment with their look and make head turn.
The inspiration comes mainly from The Second World War with key motives focused on Army green and Navy / Air Force navy colors.
The military style coat can be single or double-breasted, and should be detailed with brass buttons, further, the greatcoat can be belted or unbelted.
Autumn/Winter 2012 brings also fur coats into men’s fashion. Artificial fur is not only woman fabric now days. Gordon Richardson, design director at Topman said that this year most successful pieces from their autumn/winter catwalk collection is the faux-fur coat. Whether it's just a part of a new decadence rippling through in men’s fashion (wear by like Kanye West) or grossly unevaluated era, fur coats are all over the catwalks.
I am still watching out for any men in Dublin wearing fake fur, but have not seen any yet. Is it the (still relatively warm) weather or is this just to soft and canine a look to take off for men's fashion ? Not sure, I guess it remains to be seen.
ReplyDeleteI do, however, very much like the military style. The picture above with the grey shows a really nice specimen: Military aspects, yet some very modern aspects and very clean and sharp cut. A trule nice piece. I'd also like and buy that as lady's coat.
