Winter Shows in Winter, Large Men and Nonchalance

By staff
February 15, 2009

• Magnificently, the runway shows have got so far ahead of themselves that the seasons actually align: the Fall 2009 clothes are being shown for next year just as the weather is at its coldest this year. All the shows are here.

Some wonderful pictures here. Who would have thought it, checked trousers for formal wear?

• And this illustration of the week has something to say on rules for large men. Though it seems to us that the rules are there to make people look thinner, not more stylish. Ferre would definitely look thinner in two-button, two-piece suits.

• Good to see Sleevehead reporting back on some of the workings of a Savile Row tailor. Isn’t an informal reception so attractive?

• Interesting thoughts from Will on how to achieve nonchalance. Is that the right wording? Can it be achieved or should it be stumbled upon?

• For in-depth advice on menswear, Antonio Centeno is a great resource. All his articles can be found here.

• And finally, let’s do our bit for charity. The Red Nose Day campaign has been launched with a range of t-shirts. They’re not bespoke, but they will save lives.
