For spring/summer 2009, Armani is pushing a casual chic for men with the pannache to pull the look off.
Some of the offerings hail from the past - because oldies are golden goodies - after all.
Like the guru shirt - a mainstay that has made the rounds from generation to generation unscathed - save for an updated flourish or two to weather fashion's fickle trends.
Team it up with a pricey pair of designer jeans, quality loafers (sans socks), and a slouchy hat with distinct personality.
Cardigans - once sported by Dad to tool around the house - are now being worn flush against naked flesh and open at the neck and chest to reveal buffed torsos.
If you've got it, why not flaunt it with style?
A dress slack with pleats or cuffs , paired with well-crafted high-end shoes, round out the ubiquitous man-about-town appeal.
Bomber style leather jackets - with snaps and zippers (or not) - are making an entrance again this spring in slick, glossy fabrics, that add a splash of excitement to the outerwear.Daring dudes will team it up with white linen pants, a raging pink silk dress shirt, and just maybe slip into one-of-a-kind cowboy boots!
In spite of these peacock rages venting themselves near and far, there will still be a big focus on elegant understated quality suits sparked up with classy accessories (such as designer ties, gold cuff-links on french cuffs, well-crafted signature belts, and even puffed-up pocket handkerchiefs hanging just so).Life's not a dress rehearsal, 'ya know.
Get with it, Dude!
