183. Junya Watanabe | A Cautionary Tale

As the Paris shows wind-up, one stands out in my mind as embodying everything I like about fashion - narrative, fit, whimsy, and colour. Watanabe's influence, according to Tim Blanks, is the road trip, and I can't agree more with this choice. As gas prices in North America finally catch up with the rest of the world, and the entire planet seems to be spiralling into chaos, now may be one of the last times you can get in a car and head out for parts unknown.

Or at the very least, Portland. Wherever you're headed hopefully it will be while you're dressed this well.

A CAUTIONARY TALE

Once, way back in my Sartorial history, I was known to walk around wearing pyjama pants. I was also known to wear my then long hair in two little buns and weave hemp necklaces.

I am not joking.

So it is with some authority that I say this in response to men.style's top trends for Spring - don't do it. Don't even think about doing it.
