Agender wear: dropping “the bomb” (jacket, that is!) on Fall Fashion for 2015

autumn/winter 2015, bomber jacket, Favlook - Lookfav Focus, gender neutral fashion, off - runway fashion, on runway fashion, outerwear, style ideas?, style inspiration

The bomber jacket

as a gender neutral,  on point piece

continues to explode with fashion heat

making another style statement appearance for autumn 2015.

.

…

This season, think out of the box with bomber jacket styling:

no need to march to standard military green-

go with with a jewel colour company

experiment with patterns, prints and varied fabrication

play with proportion for the long and short of it

switch up silhouette shaping in cropped or oversized options

…

The bomber, in all its permutations, is  ‘must have’ outerwear

for this autumn / winter season.

…

 

Heads up:  styling cues on and off runway

Bomb(ers ) Away!

Ciao ragazzi! Favlook – Lookfav Focus: It’s summer suiting for the gents as presented off – runway at Pitti Uomo – s/s 2016

23 Tuesday Jun 2015

Established in September 1972

Pitti Uomo

is a biannual, trade show event on contemporary menswear fashion.

Held in Florence, Italy

over the course of four days-

Pitti Uomo is a ‘must attend’ on the fashion circuit calendar.

 

It is a stage to present men’s clothing/accessory collections

to an anticipatory international audience

of industry professionals and aficionados.

 

…

Yet, as expected-

the on – runway events for this year’s  menswear,   s / s  2016  presentations

(16 – 19 June 2015)

were rivalled by the off – runway fashion parade of

street style sass sartorial statements.

(Now saw that five times without becoming tongue tied!)

…

Summer suiting seemed the definitive dress directive-

the look elevated by eye-catching accessories:

 

pocket kerchiefs and scarves of prints / colours

smart footwear

weaved straw hats

stacked bracelets

small clutches and oversized carriers

swank sunnies

 

all wonderfully enhanced by the essential element of

sprezzatura –

the Italian dress sense of

effortless, elegant, confidant style .

 

…

Off – runway

Summer Suiting

 Bellisimo!
