The 2010 Spring Mens wear shows have come and gone. I wanted to take some time and digest what was presented and consider what could fit in my life. As usual I am drawn to black and grey. Tailored looks presented by Raf Simons and his interpretation for Jil Sander proved to be contemporary takes on classics such as the trench coat and its details. Christopher Bailey's Burberry black on black suit was modernly dandified with a bottle green scarf and topped off with a baseball cap. Hermes used its French roots as inspiration and loosened its fit for an airy holiday look. The color grey was liberated from its grandpa status at Prada with there contemporary layering of texture and tone. Dior Homme's take on the contemporary man was most evident in its semi-sheer suiting that used the blazers inner structure as a design detail.
I definitely could see myself working these looks into my wardrobe. It seems some designers are starting to move back in the direction of realistic contemporary clothes that utilize detailing to create interest instead of outlandish costumes for fashion victims. These collections are embracing the future with new interpretations of classics that could last longer than one season. In these financial times that is not a bad thing.
