The Trend: When I Grow Up

What: The playfulness of a kid in oversized pieces + the sophistication of a working adult.  DO buy oversized sweaters, vests, button downs, waistcoats, etc.  DON’T size up on your pants/trousers.

With: Keep the pants slim and the tops oversized.  Play around with layers of clothing that do not usually go together (ie: button down over sweater, sweater vest over blazer). Stick with clean traditional shoes.  Your look is already busy enough with the play of the proportions.

Expect the new Topman Lens collection in stores by September 14th.  I’m beyond excited.  This is the best looking collection yet.  This year’s brand collaborators include Kaspar Harup-Hansen, Mjolk, Carolyn Massey, Another Boy, and Dexter Wong.  Items of interest include the button down in the first picture by Kaspar Harup-Hansen.  Great length.  I’m also interested to see more of the drawstring pants by Mjolk.  Finally, how can I not take note of the Dexter Wong oversized cardigan in the last picture.  I hope the quality is not lacking, because it looks like an excellent piece.

Pictures from Brandish

Susie @ Style Bubble posted about a neat project that Guy @ Fashion156 has started. Guy managed to get together a few distinguished designers to submit an article or two of clothing custom painted. The items have been put up on eBay and 100% of the proceeds for each item will go to the charity of the designer’s choice. The pieces are pictured below and absolutely amazing.

I added text to the pictures, but they are originally from Fashion156.
