#AW/21FASHION SPECIAL
RED ALERT
Autumn/Winter 2021 has been all about colour for men’s fashion. The colour that’s been grabbing everyone’s attention is Red. Maybe because we have had to view the Paris, London & Milan runway shows through our laptop screens has made the ‘Red Trend’ ever more apparent to stand out this year. Regardless of its cause, the result is to pick one bright scarlett, cherry or vermillion shade in top, trousers or jacket and keep the rest of the colour palette neutral. Louis Vuitton red coats were de rigeur, similarly Matthew Williamson showed red bomber jackets while Jil Sander and Casablanca opted for coral red tailoring.
THE TRENCH Stepping into Autumn/Winter 2021 the classic trench coat is back for men. Without a flasher in sight, Burberry (of course) did it best on the runways although a nod has to go to the voluminous styles from Louis Vuitton where creative director Virgil Abloh showed his extra and oversized versions to a rapturous crowd. Fendi and Dries Van Noten were particularly good too. The trench was updated with bigger buckles, linings and jazzy prints for a modern take on this timeless classic piece. A wardrobe staple for men no doubt if you haven’t purchased one yet.

CASUAL WEAR As we are so used to at-home workwear with Zoom meetings done with shirts and ties on top and pyjamas hidden on the bottom half! New, chic brands like People’s Republic played on this trend reimagining the humble, casual two-piece, almost pyjama-esque look in subtle pastel hues and slinky fabrics. Dior got in on the casual trend with piped military suits in mohair while Prada and ERL favoured knitted two pieces, onesies and long johns in case we have to hunker down for another winter lockdown (we sincerely hope not!)
