The John Varvatos SS15 collection was inspired by a night out at the opera, but rather, a “day” out at the opera. The idea was to take the refined elegance you might see during an evening out on the town, and translate that into a casual, yet still elegant daytime collection.
Light, linen jackets were layered over soft tees and vests. Earthy colors like brown and army green, along with white, black and grey dominated the collection. Asymmetric, breathable tuxedo jackets made for a casual-meets-classic vibe. The looks were slim enough to be trendy but also comfortable and movable. Detailing like buttons,fringe and zippers set the designs apart, giving off that rock’n’ roll attitude that Mr. Varvatos is oh-so-well-known for. There were even “corsages”, a la Sex-and-the-City style reminiscent of Carrie’s big flower, but toned down to be appropriate not only for men, but for a little edge to a casual daytime outfit.
BDMOTP favorite: every single jacket
