A Glimpse into the Future: Wearable Looks from the Spring 2006 Men's Collection!

Take a look at what you'll be wearing three seasons from now. Today, we're focusing on the recent Paris and Milan collections from Gucci and Yves St. Laurent. Warning: double-breasted jackets ahead!

For starters, you can keep some of this year's wardrobe. Gucci shows us that the tight single-breasted jacket will still be in -- but keep an eye on the palette for the season.





I'm really digging this two-button jacket with striped tie ensemble.



Awesome, awesome jacket.

YSL's looks are sharp, sharp, sharp with some classic looks.





That suit above is a bit Tom Wolfe-ish, but on a younger guy, you'll look like a million bucks.





Great sweater look.


Now for some controversy. Gucci also thinks you'll be wearing tight, double-breasted suits. We'll see.



The look may be more accessible in black... if at all.



I'm not sold on the double-breasted look myself, but it's worth considering now that it seems to be coming back into vogue in earnest. And lest you think Gucci is operating in a vacuum here (which, of course, mainstream labels NEVER do), Dries Van Noten illustrates that the avant garde faction is also well seated on the double-breasted bandwagon.
