—Just when you thought all good things must come to an end, J. Crew turns up the heat for this year's Fall 2012 collection with some exceptional looks from their recent New York Fashion Week preview.
As always, J. Crew continues to benchmark how fashion classics like Pea Coats and Trench Coats can and should be worn. But this Fall 2012 collection looks to add a hint of textured flair–in both pattern and fabric choices–that we here at Inqmind love so much. By the looks of it, J. Crew will continue to produce the typically clean pieces they've become known for, but this collection opens the door to a much more casual style of dress. One that exudes the nonchalant–"I couldn't care less"–swag so many menswear enthusiasts today are drawn to.
Here’s a little secret if you didn't already know; all-over prints are big this season, and all rules are out the window. As a statement, or a more subtle accent, be sure to get yourselves into one of our top 10 best all-over print shirts for the upcoming months.
While Carhartt’s roots are still firmly planted in workwear, their Fall/Winter 2012 Collection encapsulates items that reflect the brand’s evolution as one that is no longer strictly focused on providing functional pieces, but rather stylish ones as well.
I find that when in a conundrum involving fit and quality, Club Monaco is the perfect answer to any man's problem. The Ralph Lauren owned brand recently released their Fall/Winter Lookbook and shows that they are still successfully walking that fine line between casual and formal wear.
Lookbooks seem to rolling out onto the market just as fast as floral prints recently, and retail giant H&M isn’t one to fall behind in this race. They recently presented their Fall/Winter lookbook to the public, and it is clear that the masses are in for a real treat come September.
Nothing too far out of the ordinary, Selected’s Slim Cargo Pants are a stylish take on a modern classic. Sadly, their popularity has fallen by the wayside a bit within the past few years. However, look for cargo pants to make a triumphant return as military attire has currently become all the rave.
It seems as though the Japanese eye for Americana results in some of the most productive and constructive essentials that are must haves for one's wardrobe. Tokyo Based teams up with Park & Bond to present a very dignified Spring Summer collection with the help of one half of the brands creators, Abdul Abasi.
