After years of form-fitting tailor-type threads, menswear is taking a more relaxed, casual and androgynous approach this year.So will this mean the end of bespoke-looking ensembles that are only wearbale for those with a body type similar to Brad Pitt's in "Fight Club?" Absolutely not. But don't be surprised when men wear garments with more movement, color and other attributes traditionally associated with women's wear.
Androgynous looks that were popularized last year ” in part because of Jaden Smith and other gender-blurring millennials ” were found in abundance throughout the collections in Europe and New York.
In Europe, J.W. Anderson and Gucci sent out models in flowy, silk blouses, while Hood by Air showed skirts and oversized and flowing overcoats.
This week in New York, men wore tunics and wide-legged capris at Max 'n Chester. Androgyny also dominated the exciting collection at Wood House which went so far as to include looks where scarves were tucked into fedoras, giving the illusion that the male models had long, bone-straight hair.
