A bit of fun today. The Guardian has a piece today called “An escape from the banality of our realities: eight autumn/winter menswear trends – a photo essay”. It showcases eight trends – Green, Archetypes redux, Optimistic outerwear, Statement knitwear, Monochrome, Robe coats, Winter shorts, and Techcore. Guess which trend I am going to gently poke fun at here!
That’s right: it’s Statement Knitwear! They write: “It’s no surprise that the statement knit has had a resurgence, it’s the one item that’s on show from the waist up in a virtual meeting now, and for the foreseeable future.” So true. But I’m not sure I could get Doug to wear this:
And if he wore it to a virtual meeting, you would miss the full impact: after all, the belt makes this outfit!
To be fair, there are some examples of knitwear from Hermes and Jil Sander that are interesting, and I love the section on Green, which showcases the African-inspired Luis Vuitton by Virgil Abloh. But I can’t help but giggle at the knitwear. Escape from banality, indeed!
I hope your day is anything but banal.
🙅🏼♀️ No way for my hubby!
Loved the post, though.
This is a hoot, thanks! Winter shorts – definitely not for most of Canada, as I look out on a snow squally day. I did like the Jil Sander bold graphic pullover.
LOL! Oh, fashion world. You always know what to do to cheer me up! I just laughed so hard I cried. Thank you for sharing!
Hilarious 😆 they look like minks from some hipster monastery. They clearly only do one size.
Oh my goodness…they look like they are from a dystopian movie or what they thought in the 1970s would be worn in the future…Space 1999 or Tomorrow People came to mind. Thanks for sharing, I won’t be knitting or buying one of these 😂
