Short trouser suiting is pure gender nonspecific fashion:

a fluid style statement, and yes-

this fluency also translates into an age – neutral sartorial flair.

There is a certain measure of  ‘je ne sais quoi’,

an almost indescribable special something

about a man sporting a well-fitted jacket.

…

Be it part of an ensemble of matching jacket and trousers,

cut from the same cloth for an intended constructed look or

an unique deconstructed look of seemingly discordant pieces,

yet which perfectly harmonise:

the effect is evident, a jacket is a definite style maker.

 

…

 

 
 

 As the autumnal chill sets in, consider a few jacket styling options:

Alan Taylor, British Fashion Council, emerging designers, Kilt dress, London Collection: Men A/W 2014, MAN designer, menswear - suits

With the big chill season less than a month underway,

Winter 2013 has proven a force of reckoning,

with many regions experiencing record-breaking freeze factors.

From a meteorological perspective, total focus is on concerns

of the present winter, which is raging havoc in many parts.

Yet, in the world of fashion focus is fixed on the future,

the  view of the ‘what’s next to come’ .

…

The chronological calendar may read 2013,

but the fashion calendar is open to 2014 –

and circled are its autumn/winter collections.

…

From Monday 6 January to Wednesday 8 January

the British Fashion Council (BFC) presents

London Collection: Men A/W 2014,

which showcases the design work of British menswear talents:

emerging creatives,  established brands,  Saville Row tailors.

…

presented an a/w 2014 menswear collection,

which emphasised suiting and kilt dress (his signature piece)

punctuated with innovative elements of

colour

proportion

imagery

texture

styling
