The Summer After Parson's.....

The men's shows in Milan and Paris spoke to me, they said you need a long wool or neoprene coat, lots of thermal underwear, and a couple skits. I don't know about the skirts, but I love the idea of an elongated silhouette, and comfy warm underwear. Their was a lot of blood shed on the runways as well, men's fashion is going into fits of rage in homage to violent sports. From boxing at Gauliter to Hockey at Dsquared, beaten and battered is the new look.

Below are some picks from my favorite men's wear collection (Note the similarities in each collection of edits)
