Sh*t Guys Should Know About Fashion - #3

From my personal experience, fashion can be pretty hard to follow if you don’t know what people are talking about. So I thought that starting the S**t Guys Should Know About Fashion segment would be a great way to unravel most of the jargon you hear or read about fashion. 

If you’ve got any confusing terms to add to the list, just drop them in the comments section and I’ll be happy to help!

Today’s mystery fashion term is:

Watch The Street - #2

London Fashion Week was a big success on all accounts, here’s a quick look at what some of London’s most stylish men wore during the week of runway shows and presentations.

London Fashion Week AW 2012 - Agi&Sam

Agi & Sam’s show yesterday in London was by far one of the most creative and vibrant collections presented during Menswear day. As usual, prints featured prominently in their show in outrageous shades of colour. My favourite looks had to be the white suit with printed birds all over it as well as the blue printed jacket over a blue two-button blazer and a turtle neck sweater. The way they mixed the prints with block colours was really quite inspiring. The off-white overcoat with drawstring detail was brilliant too. I loved the way they experimented with slightly longer shirts under jackets.

I think what they do so well is present crazy prints in a way that makes them ultra wearable and eye-catching at the same time. I’m going to have to put the whole collection on my wishlist!

London Fashion Week AW 2012 - Oliver Spencer

I really enjoyed Oliver Spencer’s AW 2012 collection. Inspired by Art House and the 50s Beatnik movement, he presented a collection that was as broad and diverse as the models who walked in his show. I thought that his collection was fit for a man of any age or social class. This was reflected in the cut and the fit. One of my favourite pieces was the red varsity jacket which reminded me of something similar I saw in Junya Watanabe’s AW 2011 collection. I also loved the brown jacket with red panels, I would have liked to see that in some other colour variations.

London Fashion Week AW 2012 - Topman Design

The TOPMAN DESIGN show was definitely a monochrome affair, with models taking to the runway in various tones of black and grey. This was probably one of only a few London shows that featured a really reserved colour palette but it made up for that in texture and layering. You can tell from the images that they’ve used quality fabrics. What I loved about this collection was the great, slim silhouette and the attention to detail. I really liked the idea of the cinched waist with the overcoat. My favourite pieces would have to be the fur lined biker jacket and the shaggy overcoat below.

Here’s a big shout out to everyone that watched the TOPMAN DESIGN live stream from my blog, thanks for the love!
