Direct from the runway to your wardrobe, Esquire delivers the most practical, up-to-the-minute sartorial analysis of the top new designer men's wear for fall. Right now.
Z Zegna: The Take
With a powerful collection, Z Zegna layered militaristic detailing, wool felt, and treated leathers over a super-masculine, slightly oversized silhouette. The collection, a mix of black, pale grays, brown, and teal, included two elements that were popping up all over in Milan — the color camel and the use of double-faced materials. Another interesting wrinkle? Z Zegna's use of laser cuts.
Z Zegna: The Takeaway
Remember those army green pants you've got stored away? If they're cut this nicely, you might find yourself wearing them again this fall.
Giorgio Armani: The Take
It could be difficult for a designer who has been in business as long as Giorgio Armani to remain relevant in the fashion scene. But not for Mr. Armani. He showed a fantastic collection featuring almost every shade of grey humanly (and inhumanly) possible. He focused on fabric innovation and some unique patterns, but it was the tailoring that looked really spectacular: double-breasted suits, of course, only with some tremendous new, fabric-covered buttons on each. And some suits got a jolt of electric color when shown with bright-orange, hot-pink, and other hot-colored shirts. Also prominent was another coveted Armani fabric: velvet.
Giorgio Armani: The Takeaway
Feel free to pop the collar on your double-breasted stuff and wear it like a jacket.
