Paris Men’s Week is over, here are its four major trends

On February 20th, the fall/winter 2019 menswear week officially came to an end. Compared with the previous seasons, this season's men's wear week is very big "pressure". From the riots triggered by the fuel tax hike on Christmas Eve last year, to the protests and bombings that France continued to ferment in early January, the fashion industry and brands are cautious about this upcoming big show.

However, compared with the troubles outside the show, this season's Paris Men's Week still has a lot to watch. The Dior Men's Collection, renamed Dior Men, brought KIM JONES's second appearance after taking office; Louis Vuitton, inspired by Michael Jackson, warmed up the new explosion; Raf Simons, who had just left the company, took his own The brand of the same name re-appeared.

Compared with the gentlemanly models of the men's wear week models, in the past year, under the “bombing” of the trend and street culture, the Paris show in the autumn and winter of 2019 has more workwear styles, graffiti prints and mashup styles. Even Hermès, Dior and other brands that have always been known for their elegance are also a lot more lively. And after this season's show, what kind of aesthetic shock will be brought to the fashionable Nanshi, let's take a look at some of the trends we have seen in Paris Men's Week.

The silhouette is still the "master song"

As mentioned in the previous article, 2018 is a street style world. In 2019, this trend continued in the show. However, compared with the more fashionable silhouette jackets, the designer used the retro blazer to interpret the street in the autumn and winter 2019 show, which made the street more integrated into life.

Raf Simons

Raf Simons' men's show this year is more of a concern than ever. The cause was the departure of Calvin Klein before Christmas 2018. Many people feel sorry for Raf Simons, but it seems that he has put more energy into the show of his own brand. The Raf Simons of the Fall/Winter 2019 collection will be more integrated with the men's mid-length cashmere jacket, and this style is complemented by a multi-faceted combination of colors.

Balmain

Balmain's season is full of black and white ash, mixed with a few denim stitching. It applies more of the silhouette to the wallet jacket and the splicing jacket. The extremely simple color tone collides with the different texture garments, which brings a lot of visual impact.

No longer serious suit mix and match

The return of the suit is a highlight of the 2019 Fall and Winter Paris Fashion Week. For a long time, traditional suits were considered standard for business people, but as luxury consumers rejuvenated, brands had to reduce the proportion of such serious fashion in design. But this season, the suit is back. What's interesting is that you will see the designers make the suits have more different expressions. With the sweaters, sweaters and jeans, the suits are quite fashionable.

Valentino

On this season's show, Valentino continued the brand's favorite big-character prints, and replaced the men's leather shoes that were necessary in the previous suits with sneakers. Tailored suit pants, with reddish-brown, black and white sneakers, add a lot of energy to the slightly serious fashion style.

OFF-WHITE

Since the trousers can be paired with sneakers, is it necessary to add a sense of street to the blazer? OFF-WHITE brings some men's wide-leg pants with a suit jacket this season. In addition to modifying the cutting of ordinary trousers, OFF-WHITE designer Virgil Abloh also made an attempt to break through the "dimension", namely, a suit jacket with wide-leg jeans. However, this kind of matching method that does not show the body completely is still a cautious attempt for men of general body.

"Buff" or vest?

What is also eye-catching is the "vest" that appears in the two classic luxury brands DIOR and LV. However, it seems that it is not appropriate to call him a vest. This design looks more like the "bib" that most people bring when they were young. But it must be said that both brands have subtly blended this vest with the inner or the outerwear, giving the garment a more distinctive effect.

DIOR MEN

DIOR MEN is the main force leading the return of suits, so its vest design is also integrated with the suit jacket. The zipless design looks a lot like a tooling or sporty backpack, while the other uses a design that adds a part of the seat belt buckle, making the suit suit a lot more interesting.

LOUIS VUITTON

After watching Louis Vuitton's 2019 men's and women's collections in autumn and winter, many people predicted the trend of the next men's wear market. According to designer Virgil Abloh, this season's Louis Vuitton men's collection is inspired by the late American pop singer Michael Jackson. It can be seen that in the new series, Abloh incorporates elements such as the American flag, the African map, and a large number of symbolic prints. The military armor belt made of the material and the "bib" made of metal texture make the whole series more recognizable and memory.

Men's leather pants are coming

Interestingly, you may only see these few trends in a few brands, but the leather pants are almost throughout the season. Whether it's the cool boy of Balmain or the Berluti, which has always been known for its leather goods, men's leather pants play a more important role than ever before.

Loewe

In comparison, Loewe, a leather goods brand founded in Spain, has spent a lot of thought on the design of leather pants. This inner slitted trousers are integrated into the boots, and some even appear directly in the style of a jumpsuit, which makes it difficult for you to distinguish at a time. Whether it is pants or boots. In color, Loewe uses the black color of the public, but also boldly uses bright yellow and dark green, plus the brightly colored tops, the overall harmony and fun.

Hermès

Where there are leather goods, of course, Hermès is also indispensable. In addition to the eye-catching red-brown leather, Hermès used a slightly reflective material on the casual leather pants launched this season. The looser cut and the slim cashmere sweater and windbreaker form an interesting contrast, but tighten The trouser legs still show the brand's elegant tonality.

Acne Studios

When it comes to Acne Studios, many people still find the "indifferent face" in the corner of the shirt or wool cap. But this season appeared on the Acne Studios show, as well as casual leather pants with tooling pockets or stitched in different colors. In the details, Acne Studios also took a lot of thoughts, such as the design of the waist with a hook, to facilitate the DIY shape of the leather pants; the new color after rolling up the trouser legs, with the short rain boots, even in the rainy days, very personalized .
