Color Me Menswear
Fall hues always guarantee the given warm, rich tones hailing from the Family of Neutral, When one thinks of the autumn winds, the colors of falling leaves – deep greens, reds, browns, golden yellows, and burnt oranges – come to mind. But this fall it’s different – way different. Judging by the Parisian runways this spring, debuting menswear’s most prominent fashion houses and the riveted collections created by said houses, neutral was masked by its cooler cousin – Color! Loud, bright tones engulfed tall, slender bodies to wow and shock their audience. Designers like Yoji Yamamoto, Richard Nicoll, and even the otherwise conservative designs of Burberry took a turn for the bright side, taking their infamous plaid scarves and replacing them with lightweight, multi-colored neckerchiefs. So boys, come this fall, think twice before you reach for that black cashmere of yours. Instead, aim for the royal blue, bright green, or in-your-face print! Girls shouldn’t be the only ones hogging all the attention. Steal their thunder, or rather their color palette! By Nycole Sariol
