The gentrification of menswear, particularly streetwear has been creeping up on us in the past few seasons. Smartness with a wry smile, a prod at the stuffy lord of the manor tweed jacket and plus fours of the last century. A few observations about key trends and things happening……..
Tweed with everything, from ipod covers to dunks
Fixed Gears and tweed, couriers and other bus botherers putting lycra to one side and dressing up smartly for a race through the city.
Brougues are bloomin everywhere, lots of takes on the classic, pulling trainer elements, some good, other just not quite right
Mr B, keeping tongue firmly in cheek with his chap hop style
Even Nigos going upscale with his Mr Bathing Ape collection, for me, brogues aside, the jurys a bit out, at the cost he's asking, why not just go for the real deal?
Junya Watanabe has been toying with the smart meets street look on the catwalk, love it!
The Chap, find it in WH Smith, a bit tongue in cheek, worth a look, a good start point!
