No expense is spared when it comes to the latest collection of Todd Lynn. Adding a hard edge to this spring’s romantic look and continuing his use of fur from this past fall, Lynn’s man evolves into a chic warrior. Whereas monochromatic looks benefit from multiple finishes, a focus on outerwear turns out shoulders strong on structure. Like an armor to protect an achilles heel, Lynn shifts all attention to the shoulders with arresting shapes crafted from leather and fur. Ultimately, Todd Lynn crafts a subversive collection of luxe proportions that separates him from his peers.
From the rebellious age of youth and a military motif to a relaxed update on formal attire, the latest collection from Marc by Marc Jacobs inspires in more way than one. Rejecting a fitted silhouette, the latest from Marc Jacobs plays with volume and an earthy range of colors. Taking their young man from day to evening with a flexible wardrobe of casual and formal garments, a focus on solids drives an accessible array of options that are as trendy as they are timeless.

Taking a step back from last season’s collection, designer Richard Chai opts for a casual fall season of blues, grays and blacks. Evoking the image of the boy next door, Chai ties together a string of loose easily integrable pieces that imitate a little wear around the edges with oil-like gradients, thin layers and slouchy fits. Continuing a comfortable blend of streetwear with a high fashion approach, Chai crafts a sophisticated yet relaxed fall season.
Undeniably one of menswear’s most rebellious designers, Thom Browne looks to old New York as his inspiration for fall’s collection. Letting out his shrunken silhouette, the outlandish designer took to exaggerated proportions to convey an overindulgent sense of luxury. With fur spilling out of the unlikeliest places, Browne turned to outerwear as a clear component of the collection’s worth, while elongated knits and tops made a wild splash against Browne’s impeccably tailored suiting. Whether his proportions are large or small, fall’s outing reaffirms Browne’s unwillingness to compromise his vision to the whims of the times.
