Sans the signature modern elements, an army jacket is not exactly aesthetically progressive. But it’s contemporary in another sense: it's completely unbound and self-sufficient.
They glide. They gleam. They ooze poise, grace and drama. Silk fabrics create gentle strength sans aggression.
A few universal design elements to look for on a timeless piece are monochromes, architectural and ergonomic silhouettes, an easy or even oversized fit, and hints of retro vibes.
Above all, I mostly wish to wear the coat sans fussy layers when spring arrives.
It’s never not a time for the multitalented. But now is the utmost. And the trendiest styles are the ones that keep up.
Fit is the new it. Even better, suitability is the new it.
All roads lead to Rome. The ones that lead astray are not oftentimes defined by wrong approaches but a lack of those.
As an experimental shopper who frequently needs a quick mental reset, I know I can always type in STYLEBOP.com to clear my cluttered head with a focused collection that is individual, thoughtful, up to the minute, iconic, yet also cutting edge. It’s a one-stop shop.
Most importantly, they made me think of spring. There is never a bad time for that but right at the season's imminence harnesses the joy of anticipation.
I have said it many times and I’m not yet tired: a garment has to first and foremost function. I can seriously testify how many times an outfit or part of it got in the way of my productivity or pleasure. Let’s hope I’m the only one here.
