When Fashion Week in New York comes around, it’s not uncommon for things to get a little bit crazy in the city. After all, the city is full of some of the top designers and industry experts in the world, and it should come as no surprise that this can generate a great deal of excitement. In the midst of it all, however, are a great deal of new collections that are being prepared for Spring 2013. With Fashion Week now over, it’s safe to say that many of these collections featured quality designs, but some took things to the next level. Indeed, J. Crew’s collection for Spring 2013 is one of the best from this year’s Fashion Week, and is sure to see quite a bit of success when it is unveiled to the public. The following are just a few elements of what makes the upcoming collection from J. Crew worth seeking out, all of which can be incorporated into your own look with a little bit of thought.
Bold Colors
Those who pay close attention to J. Crew and know the history of the company’s designs also probably have a strong handle on their audience; men who want to look good while still keeping things simple and understated. It can be difficult to inject energy into these types of designs, although the company’s Spring 2013 collection does just that by utilizing bold colors in a variety of different manners. From pants to dress shirts, no item was denied some bright color. Color is everything when it comes to helping a person stand out from the crowd, which is why J. Crew has designed pieces that feature pastel oranges, lime greens and other bold colors. Colors that are this “loud” can certainly cause clashing to occur, but with the right pair of khakis, one can pull these off in style.
Simplicity Above All Else
One of the major reasons why J. Crew has amassed such a following is the fact that the line emphasizes simplicity above all else. A lot of men are looking for this, and they’ll find it in droves in the Spring 2013 collection. There are no pretentious pieces here; polos that are tailor-fit for a day at the beach, chinos that are slim but not overly so. After all, many men are simply looking to outfit their wardrobe with pieces that will be functional and attractive, and don’t want to take any large risks with their fashion and style; this collection is for those men.
Takeaways for the Modern Man
When Spring rolls around, there’s nothing more important than ditching the warm, often drab colors of winter and replacing them with colors that remind one of warmer weather. As a result, the colors in the J. Crew Spring 2013 collection are perfect for just about any guy. Perhaps the most important thing to take away from this collection, however, is the fact that simplicity can truly be an effective tool, and often results in an attractive ensemble when properly utilized; something that doesn’t have to be difficult to do.
