here are the 4 other things to adopt in 2009...
7 / the realignment of luxe
I appreciate a nice vicuna hoodie as much as the next guy, but it's also a little disorienting the way luxury has extended its tentacles into even the most mundane wardrobe items over the past few years. Well, thanks to the economic meltdown, I'm expecting that trend to reverse, pushing luxury and utility into their respective corners in 2009. When you think about it, there's something comforting (if not quite silky soft to the touch) about a sweatshirt that's made of good old cotton and not Loro Piana cashmere. (And, of course, an ultraswank Valentino dinner jacket that looks like something you actually had to save up for.)
8/ harrington jackets
created by Baracuta in the thirties and named after Ryan O'Neal's character on Peyton Place in the sixties, the Harrington is having another moment at the end of whatever the hell we're calling this decade. If you don't already have one, now's the time to buy one. (And if you don't like this polka-dot interpretation from Perry Ellis, both A.P.C. and Corpus—not to mention Baracuta—offer more understated versions.)
9/ cuffed shorts
I'm walking the line between reporting and endorsing on this one, though I'll say this: If pleats are involved, the look is probably best left to runway professionals
last but not least,
10/ high-contrast plaid
some trends mean something. others just mean some eye-catching new shit to wear. guess which category this one falls into.
with this 10 tips, hope that you will live, life and fun with fashion...
