Salavatore Ferragamo has for a long time remained one of my favorite designer brands when it comes to finding a well-tailored and sleek menswear look. Their collection shown this weekend at Men's Milan Fashion Week for their Fall/Winter 2014 encompassed everything that I love about the brand; structured construction, sleek silhouettes, sophisticated palettes and everyday wearability. I always look forward to seeing how Massimiliano Giornetti injects a pop of color into every collection, this year adding details like graphic stripes as well as some bold combinations like deep oranges and blues. A trend that I saw which I very much enjoyed was the belting of jackets and outerwear pieces. Until next season Ferragamo, ciao !
Milan FW Trends, How You Can Wear Them
With Milan's Men’s Fashion Week drawn to a close last week, this post is dedicated to the three trends seen on the runways for Spring/Summer 2014. While SS14 may be a year away, with most if not all the pieces shown on the runway not yet available, steal the looks from the three biggest trends right now.
Florals
From Gucci to Prada, florals were a big trend at MFW. From large-scale to a touch in accessories, floral prints were everywhere throughout the collections shown. Taking a cue from Eastern culture, Prada included florals in floral print shirts and hibiscus adorned suitcases. Copy this look with a Libertine-Libertine Shirt with Palm Tree prints.
Monochromatic
If year was all about shades of grey, this year it’s about wearing varying shades of a monochromatic color. Calvin Klein, Bottega Veneta and Zegna displayed looks in head to toe color schemes based on a single unifying color. Pair a different hued blue shirt, like this Lacoste Linen Shirt, on top of some jeans you already own and rock your own version of the monochromatic trend.
Bermuda Shorts
If Massimiliano Giometti's SS14 Salvatore Ferragamo show has any indication of the trend for shorts next season, is that Bermuda shorts are making its way back to the sartorial savvy. Straying away of the tight and shorter cuts as of late, many shows featured shorts with a well-tailored and looser fit. Keep cool this summer and slip into these similar Topman Blue Flecked Suit Shorts.
