Take a look at Cloak's most recent show in New York. It's a good example of what people will be wearing -- or continue to be wearing, if you ask me, since military-inspired fashion has been in for ages now, particularly during the past year or so.
I loved Cloak since it first came on the scene. Now it's gone mainstream, and traded in a bit of its original fascination with the jackboots-and-truncheons look for... some strange amalgamation of safari chic and rock and roll.
It works. The safari-inspired look has a feeling of being new, which makes the entire collection feel like it isn't the same old thing, which, when it comes to menswear, is how everything looks after a couple of years. Though, I do have Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf" running through my head each time I see these.
Two great portions of a three-piece suit, with black jeans. In the real world, you would know to tuck in your shirt, right?
Double-breasted suits still on the horizon.
These last two are killer looks, by the way... If you're a working male model. If you're one of the 99%+ of the population who isn't, you need to think a bit differently. In the next-to-last pic, keep the grey coat. In the bottom photo, keep the shorts only if you can work it without looking like a bike courier. Otherwise, you can pair it with white, light, or medium-dark pants with ease.
