ANTONIO AZZUOLO PUT OUT SOME OF THE STOOPIDEST LOOKS OF THE SEASON
...And we'll all be wearing them soon. Sort of. I cannot tell a lie. Watching his show this weekend I couldn't seem to wipe my cheesy grin from my face as step after step another Charlie Chaplin, clock work orange, suburban dandy took the catwalk. At first glance, these looks are downright embarrasing. Can you imagine your dad or husband wearing any one of these outfits out to dinner with you? H to the ell no. So what gives? Azzuolo is a designer who knows his stuff and especially knows resort and sport. With that, you have to assume that while he knows the rules of style, he simply wants to erase them. SO, looking past the costumey show from Sunday's New York Fashion week, a few pointed and important trends should be noted.
1. Shorts. Always above the knee. In color is good. Slimmed and paired with a more formal buttoned up look on top. Oh, and it's not just for day any more.
2. Cuffs. These days shoes are getting more and more interesting in the men's department. Time to let them sing all out. Don't be afraid to cuff the pants a roll or two higher than you're used to. In my opinion, save the look for a day of shopping, lunch or an afternoon bbq. Make sure your pants are slim. We're not talking high waters people.
3. Suspenders. That's it. Put 'em on. With jeans and a t-shirt or under a suit jacket. Keep them light and slim and when in doubt go with buttons not clasps. Yes, you will need to sew a button onto your jeans.
4. Bowler Hats. Just kidding. Don't wear a bowler hat. Ever.
