Giorgio Arman's elegant chic!
Nothing new under the sun in swimwear!
A few years ago, Sal Cesarani unvieled a beautiful collecton at the Men's Fashion Association, which were patterned after the style phenomenon of the Great Gatsby.
Cesarani managed to extrapolate the flash, panache, and simple elegance off the era in one fell swoop.
The recent Menswear collection featured on the runways in Milan are somewhat reminiscent - indeed - brought to the fore by a smattering of men's wardrobe pieces that refect the same kind of lightness, simple chic and fashion maturity.
Men are ready to get down to business when it comes to style.
And, the designers previewing their silhouettes in Milan recently, have offer up a myriad of choices with something for every discerning - and not so discerning - male.
Imagine that!
Threads that any any old Joe can toss on without much thought - that manage still - to lend the fellow a sartorial edge.
Ermenegildo Zegna - as usual - was low-key.
The suits, were lean (Italian cut &-crafted) not splashy.
“We are a discreet brand,” Zegna calmly noted to the press, “one that doesn’t make a lot of noise.”
Giorgio Armani paired slate gray suits with pale hues - and in some cases - incorporated whimsical twists by virtue of knit vests in free-floating patterns to spark the ensembles up.
Fashion flourishes included eye-catching shoes in brilliant colors such as canary - and strategic accessories such as pocket pouffes - designed to add a dash of daring to the adventurous dude.
Lightweight fabrics such as silk, linen and hemp predominated.

Nifty blouses in washed silks and burlap shells - topping ubiquitious jeans - lent a beachy influence that screamed a carefree liberated mood.
In that setting, sandals featured by one designer (crafted with rope and tooled leather) will find favor with those who want to kick back and have fun in the mid-day sun.
Stripes will also abound in every offering - from boxer shorts to elegant body-shirts, bathrobes, pajamas, and what-have-you.
Prada's collection was dominatd by paint-by-number primary colors - which were vivid - and eye-catching!
Alexander McQueen's musings were crowd-pleasers with a wow factor.
The collection - the 1st since his passing to spirit - facilitated a unique dye process which conjured up intriguing "glow" effects.
Fashion as art?
Designers like Missoni set their sights on re-introducing cargo-inspired day scrubs, fulfilling a need for people on the go, according to their spokesperson.
"When you travel, you need lots of pockets for things, and these are my urban travelers my tribe," he was quick to sum up.
I'll be first in line to snap up the practical pocket pleasers, you bet!
For me, the lightweight suits - subtly-threaded with white and blue pin stripes - held the most appeal out of all the exquisite wardrobe choices I ran my fingers through.
I imagine myself trotting out for cocktails in one of those classy ensembles at the midnight hour on a balmy Los Angeles night - beneath a pale moon - as I am toasting the town.
Thanks to Italian designers, I'll do it with style.
