Hugo Boss Orange at Saks

Hope you all survived the stampede over at the Barneys Warehouse Sale.

Today, I'm having a look at the new Hugo Boss Orange collection over at Saks. First, however, here's a primer on how Hugo Boss' collections break down: "Boss Black" is considered the brand's upscale and classy mass-market label. "Boss Orange" is a more casual sportswear look, and a bit more adventurous. Plain "Hugo" (AKA "Red") is Boss Green seems to be comprised largely of ski jackets, weirdly.



Brushed Gabardine Pant, $175




Savanno Zip Sweatshirt, $185




Wils-Crafted Shirt, $155

Odd hem detail, but otherwise, the shirt looks great.


Eh. These were the only ones I pulled out that seemed anything other than generic and uninteresting. You've got to admit, despite some of their cool runway looks, when it comes to what's actually available in retail, Hugo Boss is in danger of becoming the new John Varvatos. Then again, John Varvatos has IGGY POP, of all people, in their current ad campaign -- so who knows what's really going on. I didn't think Iggy even knew how to wear a shirt.
