This winter the man’s fashion presents an elegant and refined gentleman who likes himself and loves to be likeable. The male of modern times is aware of what he chooses and enjoys playing with the clothing; or if he is wearing a double-breasted or a bomber jacket, he doesn’t miss the attention for details and to own look till the last detail. Through a game of volumes, colors and proportions the male wardrobe’s new proposals take shape enriched by gadjects that determine a particular style, or in addiction to that admired elegance. Set aside a too excessive and strong mood, this winter the designers have focused the attention on simple silhouettes with a couture look that flirt with a British wearing, giving attention to the ”ready to wear” for globe trotter and modern dandy. Soft lines clothes, better if combined with accessories such as glove, symbol of eternal elegance.
The latter has appeared as every years on the winter catwalks dyeing itself in classic black and dark brown, shading in autumn color like: forest green, bordeaux, ocher and brick hues. Belstaff proposes a gritty biker, leather dressed, who wears long padded gloves. The brand has revisited its archive through an inspiration linked to bikers of the 50s and 60s,fusing it together with urban and sporting details.
Deep colors,such as grenn bottle for Salvatore Ferragamo‘s gloves, who uses skin as his stylistic trademark. Color, craftsmanship and attention for details also for models in two-tone :green pine and frozen melange gray, by Dirk Bikkembergs. The combination of two different fabrics or tones it’s the novelty for the man’s fashion gloves. The contrasts chase themselves:luxury and easy, sporting and elegant, classic and technically. Armani combines leather to suede, Dsquared highlights the difference in materials and colors by offering a more casual style, Andrea Pompilio is the most original of all of them, in my opinion; how to create an abstract asymmetrical shapes from burnt tones that are placed on white gloves. His unique style seduces and fascinates the most conservative fashion victims who consider fashion a mix of inspirations and suggestions. The watchword is to experiment with research into new materials and different combinations.
So gadjects like gloves become the pretest to give vent to the fantasies of refined creatives who, often by seams ,make on the ”kind accessory” new designs that attract the attention of a refined audience , audience who like a niche product, true pride of Made in Italy.
