BEST 5 INDIAN TEXTILE

There are various types of textiles, each with its unique characteristics, uses, and manufacturing processes. Textiles can be classified into two primary categories: natural fibers and synthetic fibers. Here are some common types within each category:

Natural Fibers:

Cotton: Cotton is one of the most widely used natural fibers. It is soft, breathable, and comfortable to wear, making it a popular choice for clothing, bed linens, and towels.

Wool: Wool is derived from the fleece of sheep and other animals like goats (cashmere and mohair) and rabbits (angora). It is known for its warmth and insulating properties, making it suitable for sweaters, scarves, and winter clothing.

Silk: Silk is a luxurious natural fiber produced by silkworms. It has a smooth, shiny texture and is often used for high-end clothing items like silk dresses and ties.

Linen: Linen is made from the fibers of the flax plant. It is known for its breathability and natural cooling properties, making it suitable for summer clothing, bed linens, and tablecloths.

Hemp: Hemp fibers are derived from the hemp plant. They are strong, durable, and eco-friendly, often used in items like bags, ropes, and eco-friendly clothing.

Jute: Jute is a natural fiber commonly used to make burlap sacks and other coarse textiles. It is also used for making rugs and carpets.

Synthetic Fibers:

Polyester: Polyester is a versatile synthetic fiber known for its durability, wrinkle resistance, and quick-drying properties. It is used in various clothing items, including sportswear, and also in home textiles.

Nylon: Nylon is a strong and lightweight synthetic fiber. It is used in hosiery, activewear, swimwear, and various types of accessories like bags and backpacks.

Acrylic: Acrylic fibers mimic the softness and warmth of wool. They are often used in sweaters, blankets, and other cold-weather clothing items.

Spandex: Spandex is a highly elastic synthetic fiber known for its stretchability. It is commonly blended with other fibers to add elasticity to clothing items like leggings and swimsuits.

Rayon: Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber made from wood pulp. It is known for its softness and breathability, making it suitable for various clothing items, including dresses and blouses.

Polypropylene: Polypropylene fibers are moisture-wicking and are often used in activewear, thermal underwear, and base layers.

Wool is usually specified for garments for fire-fighters

The list of fabric available on the market is endless. What are the most popular fabrics and why? Versatility, durability, and ease of care are some of the reasons. Read on for a list of the worlds most popular textiles, their uses and care, and what makes them so sought after.1.Cotton leads the pack as the most popular fabric in the world. It is a natural fiber from the cotton plant and is versatile and easy to care for. Cotton has been cultivated for over 7,000 years and only increases in popularity as time goes on. It is often blended with other fibers to create garments that last longer and wash better. Common cotton fabrics include denim, gingham, canvas and broadcloth. Cotton can absorb up to 27 times its own weight in water; is machine washable and Makeup Remover Wipes can withstand high heat; takes and retains dye color easily; and is strong and durable. Cotton can be used to make shirts, dresses, skirts, pants, jackets, childrens clothes, curtains and other window treatments.2.Linen, made from the fibers of the flax plant, has been coveted for many thousands of years.

Linen has always been a symbol of purity and wealth. Produced in small quantities, this luxurious fabric is valued for its coolness and freshness in hot weather and its remarkable ease of care. Linen is a strong, cool fabric that doesnt cling to skin and is two to three times stronger than cotton. Linen can absorb moisture without feeling damp. If a warm breeze blows a skirt or dress made from linen fabric it will return to your skin cool to the touch. High-quality linens are free from slubs (those small knots along the fabric) and present a uniformly smooth texture that is beautiful to the touch. Linen can be used in home décor, and in mens and womens apparel including skirts, dresses, blouses, and shirts. Linen can be dry cleaned, machine washed or steamed.

It may be hung to dry and left with a slightly wrinkled look which is part of the charm of the fabric.3.Polyester is a popular synthetic fabric that has many advantages over its natural counterparts. While synthetic clothing in general is perceived by many as having a less natural feel, polyester offers superior wrinkle resistance, durability and machine washability. Polyester is often blended with other yarns to create wonderful fabrics that mix the benefits of both textiles, like dressy uniform fabrics and professional wear. Synthetic fibers also can create materials with superior water, wind and environmental resistance compared to plant-derived fibers.4.Wool fiber comes from sheep and other animals like cashmere and mohair from goats, and angora from rabbits. Wool is bulkier than other fabrics and retains heat well making it perfect for cold weather.

Wool is usually specified for garments for fire-fighters, soldiers, and others in occupations where they are exposed to the likelihood of fire because it ignites at a higher temperature than cotton or other fabrics. Wool is resistant to static electricity which is why wool garments are much less likely to spark or cling to the body. Australia is the leading producer of wool, especially high quality Merino from the sheep of the same name. Wool can be used in high-quality suits and several types of mens and womens apparel and outerwear.5.Leather is a flexible and durable material created when animal hide is transformed by a process called tanning. The majority of leather today is tanned via chrome tanning, a process discovered in 1858. Chrome tanning is more supple and pliable than vegetable-tanned leather, and does not discolor or lose shape as drastically in water as vegetable-tanned leather. Most leather is made from cow hide but there are many other types of leathers available including suede, aniline, Corinthian and patent. Leather is a versatile material that can be used in upholstery and apparel including automobile interiors, furniture coverings, skirts, pants, jackets, shoes, handbags, and other accessories.

After You Buy All the Essentials, Then What? My Personal List Moving Forward

Switching focus from the urgent to the important is a vital practice in the business world. Have you ever worked somewhere where it’s clear that instead of thinking critically about the core of the organization’s mission for ways to grow and improve, the focus is instead on whatever the newest, shiniest idea is (or often, whatever the latest crisis is)?

I always had a sense of urgency about buying clothes, because my goal was to dress in cool tailoring every day of the week in ways that I would consider meaningfully different. But being constrained by a budget meant I had to think carefully about what I bought, so I wouldn’t end up with something because it was a great deal, only to discover I had very little use for it. So I created a list of clothes I wanted that I imagined would comprise a complete wardrobe (for my tastes and needs). That helped me stay focused on my goals when sale season started and there were so many awesome things to buy.

Now, though, having largely built that wardrobe I imagined, I tend to get distracted by the new, shiny thing much more. I’ll find some product on eBay or in a shop on sale and become obsessed with it, going back to look at it over and over again. Without that hit list of must-buys to bring myself back from the brink, I always have a creeping sense that whatever it is I end up actually purchasing is maybe the wrong choice for me and I should instead be saving that money for some other, better purchase down the road. I’ve picked all the low-hanging fruit, but I have no personal guidance for reaching higher.

So, in an effort to try and refocus myself on buying what I can consider important purchases—not just those with the urgency of desire—here’s my list of next must-haves.

(By the way, if you’re just starting out and want some help building a wardrobe from scratch, check out my “Guide to Building a Tailored Wardrobe.” In it, I explain just that—how to have the right mindset about buying clothes, plus specific advice for versatility in clothing. Check it out here.)

More cotton-linen trousers for summer

Since becoming a dad—but even before then—dress trousers in wool just don’t get much wear from me. Primarily that’s because pants need cleaning more often, and I hate dry cleaning bills. But it’s also because I prefer a silhouette that just doesn’t work with dress pants, at least in wool. Jeans or even chinos made of denim or cotton twill drape differently and thus can work in the tapered cut I prefer. My previously perfectly fitting flannel trousers with that ideal taper from Spier & Mackay are now too slim because my calves got too big. So I have to go fuller. I’m fine going with that in a drapey wool, but day to day I prefer a slimmer knee and slightly tapered opening at the hem.

This is why cotton-linen trousers exist. Cotton-linen seems to have that perfect balance of cotton’s stiffness with linen’s drape, so they hang well but are forgiving if the fit isn’t bespoke-perfect or your proportions make things difficult. Pure linen just doesn’t give off the vibe I’m looking for typically (it feels a little more louche the way it hangs and rumples than I as a person am). And other options like wool-silk-linen blends are beautiful and amazing (I’ll get those below), but what I like about cotton-linen is I can usually machine wash it myself to no ill effect. Currently I have one pair, so it’d be nice to get another 2-3 to rotate through (much as I have with flannel in the winter). My list would be:

A second pair of off-white

Tan / khaki

Deeper brown

Maybe a light blue or mid-navy

Options I have for buying these: Spier & Mackay’s dress trouser fit is still my best bet right now, and I’ve been told they’ll have a crop of 7 colors of cotton-linen trousers in mid-April. That said, I also just purchased some pairs from Brooks Brothers’ Red Fleece line that arrive soon, made from fabric by the same mill as Spier’s, for $37 a pair that might work, too.

A rotation of good chinos and a pair of light wash jeans that fit

Chinos are nice because they dress up or down pretty well (you can wear a tie with them without it being weird, unlike five-pocket pants, but on their own without a jacket they’re good too), and if you get them in the right fabric, they’re pretty hard-wearing.

Finding chinos that 1- don’t have stretch, 2- are made from material that’s a good mid-weight, and 3- fit the way I want is extremely difficult. You wouldn’t think so but man it’s hard to find good chinos. And finding good, faded jeans with similar qualities is likewise hard without spending $200+. That said, if I can find them, what would make my wardrobe happy would be chinos in:

Off-white

Stone

True khaki

Possibly a pair in fatigue, which is a good color when it’s too hot to wear a jacket

Options for chinos are tricky. I like the idea of what fellow menswear blogger Ian is doing with his new shop Lost Monarch; $125 is hefty for chinos, but I suppose if they fit really well and the fabric rules, the investment might be worth it. I also always forget about classic chino maker Bill’s Khakis, which was always hailed as having the highest quality back in my early Styleforum days. They introduced a number of slimmer fitting styles over the years and are still fairly easy to find on eBay. Spier & Mackay’s chinos are a great deal but each time I’ve tried them, the fit’s been off for me in some way or other. I might try them once again this spring.

As for light wash jeans, I’ll be looking probably at American Eagle, Polo RL, Abercrombie, Banana Republic, and other mall brands. Much as I’d like to get some 3-Sixteens or even Naked and Famous, they’re hard to get ahold of where I live and trying jeans on is critical.

A dark navy blazer in both single and double breasted configurations

I have seasonally appropriate navy jackets—one is wool/cashmere for winter, and one is raw silk for summer—and last summer I added a dark blue double breasted jacket for summer as well. When I recently tried on No Man Walks Alone’s Sartoria Carrara jackettried on No Man Walks Alone’s Sartoria Carrara jacket, which was a dark navy twill, I remembered why dark navy jackets exist: they’re classy as heck. All my navy jackets are slightly lighter shades of navy, which is great, but a good, dark navy blazer brings some gravity to an outfit, looks great in the evening and dresses up very well for more formal occasions.

That said, it’s gotta be the right texture. Hopsack wool is a good option; I would also be interested in some kind of blend like wool-silk-linen or similar. I’m not a fan of mohair, so I wouldn’t do that, and the high twist fabrics are tricky because they tend to look fairly smooth, while I like a little more surface texture. Given how much I like my SuitSupply Jort blazer, I’m hoping they release a double breasted jacket that might fit the bill this spring/summer. As for single breasted, I really, really liked that NMWAxCarrara jacketNMWAxCarrara jacket, so something closer to a 3-season fabric from him would be amazing. Of course Spier & Mackay has staple hopsack wool blazers in both their Neapolitan cut and regular cut, which sold out quickly in my size.

A dark navy double breasted blazer by Ring Jacket (model 6) I tried on at The Armoury in New York City. Click the image to see the product page of this actual jacket at their site.

A pair or two of summer trousers in a nicer fabric

Cotton linen trousers and chinos are as dressy as I need them to be most of the time in my life, but it’s still nice to have a pair of classier dress trousers in summer for occasions that call for it. I’ve had gray hopsack and fresco in the past, but those were more corporate than I was looking for.

Summer is the time for levity in the color palette, so I really like the idea of a light or mid blue (maybe a petrol blue). Every time Greg at No Man Walks Alone does spring pre-orders for Rota, they offer these beautiful wool/silk/linen blend fabrics, including petrol blue in the past, and every time, I love how they look but always stopped short of ordering for various reasons. A sufficiently textured, interesting blend in a light gray would also be nice and would be better than a corporate looking fresco or tropical wool. In the swatches below, which were for this season’s Rota trouser made to order options, the blue and gray at the top hold appeal, and even that green at the bottom.

Swatches for Rita wool/silk/linen trousers From No Man Walks Alone.

Some dress shirts from Anglo-Italian

It feels like I’ve been banging on about this for years at this point, I know, but their reverse stripe OCBD is great and I need to just pull the trigger and buy it. But beyond that, Anglo’s house dress shirt model is essentially the perfect shirt: the collar shape is an ideal wide spread with no tie space and that isn’t too stiff; the fit is comfortable but not baggy; and the details are all there both quality and design-wise. The back shirring is maybe a bit out there for many people, but these shirts are meant to be worn under a jacket, which is how I’d wear them. I’d buy white first then probably their blue end-on-end and maybe the bengal stripe. They’re expensive at $175, but that’s less than other comparable Italian dress shirt companies like Finamore or Borrelli.

A couple additional pairs of suede shoes

I love suede for its versatility in dressing up or down. What I wear 95% of the time are snuff suede penny loafers, snuff suede chukkas and tan suede tassel loafers. I’m looking to get more dark brown suede, which, sorta like true dark navy blazers, brings some gravity to an outfit. My penny loafers have been through some rough times; I plan to resole them (which they badly need), but it’d be nice to have a pair that aren’t so beaten up. I prefer a sleeker last shape most of the time (not pointy, maybe almond shaped) to the round lasts you see from classic Ivy brands like Alden, which are more casual and carry a lot more of that Ivy feeling (something I’m always trying to temper with more rakish aesthetics). That said, a rounded loafer of some kind to wear strictly casually is something I’d like to get to help share the load with the other shoes. I’ve also been really into the split toe derby look the last year or so. I tried The Armoury’s on when I visited there in 2018, and really liked it.

So, the list would be:

Dark brown suede penny loafers

Dark brown suede Chelsea boots

Brown suede split toe

Dark or mid-brown suede beef roll or similar more casual loafers

I’ve noticed that the most comfortable shoes I love wearing the most are all made by Allen Edmonds, so I’ll be looking at those for sure. The Sea Island in particular looks awesome for that casual loafer. Beckett Simonon has some suede boots and given how comfortable their shoes are, their Bolton Chelsea looks nice. Meermin of course is another option for suede boots, and they have a penny loafer that might fit the bill for me, too. Spier & Mackay’s shoe offerings look very good, including this suede penny loafer. And of course the Armoury’s split toe derby is the one I’m most looking at for that category as I’m sort of picky when it comes to split toe shoes.

So there’s my hit list moving forward. I’ve already deviated from it this season by purchasing an excellent but not-on-this-list jacket from Spier & Mackay in 100% linen by Sondrio in a mid-brown glen check pattern. It surprised me how much I loved it, so I’m letting myself deviate from the list, guilt-free. And at the end of the day, the clothing hobby is all about enjoying life anyhow, and what could be more important than than?

(Help support this site! If you buy stuff through my links, your clicks and purchases earn me a commission from many of the retailers I feature, and it helps me sustain this site—as well as my menswear habit ;-) Thanks!)

Fabrics: What are they made of?

Denim: Denim is a material made from 100% cotton. This is a cotton thread that is used to make a particular weave. It has warped threads in which a weft thread is placed under. This forms the traditional diagonal ribbing on the surface of the material. (i)

Velvet: Velvet made entirely from silk is rare and usually has market prices of several hundred US dollars per yard. Cotton is also used to make velvet, though this often results in a less luxurious fabric. Velvet can also be made from fibers such as linen, mohair, and wool. (i)

Corduroy: Generally made of all cotton or a cotton/polyester blend, modern corduroy's pile is usually woven and cut in a striped pattern, resulting in distinctive ribs, or wales, that run the length of the fabric. (i)

Flannel: Originally made from carded wool or worsted yarn, but is now often made from either wool, cotton, or synthetic fiber. Vegetable flannel is made from Scots pine fibre. (i)

Chiffon: Primarily made from cotton, silk or synthetic fibers like nylon, rayon and polyester. (i)

Brocade: Brocade fabrics mainly consist of solid or multi-colored silk threads, often times combined with gold or silver metallic threads. A brocade is woven by adding a supplementary weft to the weave, creating the illusion that sections have been embossed into the fabric, or embroidered on top of it. (i)

Tweed: Tweed is a type of fabric made from rough, woven wool. It may or may not use a twill or diagonal weave. Herringbone, a twill pattern in which the diagonal slant of the weave alternates, is popular in tweed. Many tweed fabrics also make use of threads of different colours to create an attractive "heather" effect. Tweed was traditionally hand dyed using local natural dyes and hand woven. Dyes for traditional luxury tweeds came from plant life such as moss, lichens, and blackberries. (i)

Felt: Felt is a textile material that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together. Felt can be made of natural fibers such as wool or animal fur, or from synthetic fibers such as petroleum-based acrylic or acrylonitrile or wood pulp-based rayon. Blended fibers are also common. (i)

Gauze: Gauze was originally made of silk and was used for clothing. It is now used for many different things, including gauze sponges for medical purposes. When used as a medical dressing, gauze is generally made of cotton. It is especially useful for dressing wounds where other fabrics might stick to the burn or laceration. (i)

Moleskin: Moleskin fabric is made from cotton, which is sheared to create a smooth textured surface that feels like the skin of the soil loving mole. Soft and hard wearing, it is a popular alternative to fabrics like wool or linen. (i)

Tartan: Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Tartans originated in woven wool, but now they are made in many other materials. (i)

Plush: Modern plush are commonly manufactured from synthetic fibres such as polyester. (i)

The 5 Knitwear Trends Ruling Autumn

While the weather outside is certainly frightful, we're secretly happy that knitwear season is upon us. Whether it's settling in at the cinema (we can't be the only ones excited for the new Star Wars), finding a corner in a dimly lit pub (beside a roaring fire, natch) or cooking up a feast at home (find the best winter recipes here), it's all about keeping cosy over the next few months. Thankfully, there is a host of sweet knitwear making hibernation all the more appealing. Far from your standard pullover, AW19's offering is super playful, from Dennis the Menace-inspired stripes to psychedelic space dye fabrications. Click through to find our edit of this season's best knits.

You can thank the return of '90s grunge for the plethora of bold striped knits on offer this season. Everyone from Angel Chen to Miuccia Prada to Bella Freud gave us chunky knitted horizontal stripes for AW19, so channel your inner Kurt Cobain (or Dennis the Menace or Freddy Krueger) by teaming black stripes with acid greens or contrasting reds.

Ganni Button-Embellished Striped Cashmere Sweater, $, available at Net-A-Porter

Topshop Charcoal Grey Knitted Stripe Crew Neck Jumper, $, available at Topshop

Miu Miu Cropped Striped Cashmere Sweater, $, available at Net-A-Porter

The Ragged Priest Fine Knit Jumper In Mixed Stripe, $, available at ASOS

Prada Logo-Intarsia Metallic Striped Sweater, $, available at Matches Fashion

The catwalks of London Fashion Week threw up plenty of homages to traditional craftsmanship this season, in particular at JW Anderson, Molly Goddard and Victoria Beckham, who all gave us argyle knits. The heritage diamond pattern is often associated with Pringle of Scotland (its collaboration with H&M is one of our recent favourites) but you'll find pieces at Mango and Lazy Oaf, too.

Molly Goddard Gabriella Argyle Knitted Cardigan, $, available at Net-A-Porter

Violeta By Mango Rhombus Knit Sweater, $, available at Mango

Miu Miu Cropped Argyle Wool Sweater, $, available at Net-A-Porter

Lazy Oaf Pink & Yellow Harlequin Cardigan, $, available at Lazy Oaf

Victoria Beckham Argyle Mohair-Blend Sweater, $, available at Net-A-Porter

The rollneck knit is a perennial classic, with the '70s trend providing plenty of autumnal hues to channel our inner Ali McGraw in Love Story. But AW19 gave us more innovative iterations, with brighter than bright shades and patterns making for a more daring get-up. Think neon shades, vibrant tie-dye and standout colour blocking and you're good to go.

Urban Outfitters Lime Cut-Out Rib-Knit Funnel Neck Top, $, available at Urban Outfitters

Aries Tie-Dyed Wool Turtleneck Sweater, $, available at Net-A-Porter

Arket Rib-Knitted Alpaca Blend Jumper, $, available at Arket

Solace London Dania Ribbed-Knit Sweater, $, available at Net-A-Porter

Collusion Roll Neck Jumper In Green, $, available at ASOS

Did someone say Chalet Girl? Fair Isle knits, once the preserve of tourists and dads enthusiastically planning a ski trip, the traditional alpine pattern has come up trumps for AW19. At once classic and kitsch, we're pairing with kick-flare denim both slopeside and in the city. Head to Beyond Retro and Rokit for the best vintage pieces.

Monki Nordic Ski Knit, $, available at Monki

Holzweiler Intarsia Knitted Turtleneck Sweater, $, available at Net-A-Porter

Violeta By Mango Geometric Jacquard Sweater, $, available at Mango

Stella McCartney Fair Isle-Knit Wool-Blend Sweater, $, available at Net-A-Porter

Annalisa Fair Isle Jumper, $, available at Navabi

We've been hooked on mohair ever since we saw Nastassja Kinski and her perfect bob in a pink knitted dress in Paris, Texas. For AW19, everyone from Balmain and Celine to MSGM and Ports 1961 got in on the fluffy texture. While our favourite pieces are reminiscent of a 1970s John Lydon look (holey and striped), Alexachung and ASOS have some cosy options too.

Alexa Chung Mohair-Blend Sweater, $, available at Net-A-Porter

ASOS CURVE Square Neck Fluffy Jumper With Short Sleeve, $, available at ASOS

Mango Fluffy Sweater, $, available at Mango

Munthe Dinner Striped Knitted Sweater, $, available at Net-A-Porter

Weekday Cherich Sweater, $, available at Weekday

Space dye is the process of dyeing different segments of yarn in various hues to create a trippy optical illusion. The colouring technique was popularised by Missoni but the high street has plenty of options this autumn/winter, from Urban Outfitters' rainbow-hued number to Calvin Klein's thoroughly grunge take. We're teaming Weekday's offering with black leather trousers for an easy everyday get-up.

Urban Outfitters Ombre Spacedye Balloon Sleeve Jumper, $, available at Urban Outfitters

Monki Heavy Knit Turtleneck Sweater, $, available at Monki

CALVIN KLEIN 205W39NYC Oversized Space-Dye Wool Cardigan, $, available at Matches Fashion

Topshop Teal Knitted Space Dye Jumper, $, available at Topshop

Weekday Kirsten Turtleneck, $, available at Weekday

Claire: In the Garden

This version of Claire is based on a beautiful dress with a gold outer layer. This is the dress Claire wore while walking through the garden at the palace.

All Yarns are hand painted and kettle dyed. This means that every yarn can vary. If you need multiple yarns for a project, it is highly recommended that you purchase them at the same time so that they can come from the same dye lot. Some of the brighter colors can bleed, even though they have been rinsed multiple times, if you notice this run under cold water until water is clear.

Care: Hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry

All products are created in a smoke free and pet friendly environment.

All photographs are used as inspiration for the yarn and are not owned by myself and belong to the franchise/character in which they represent. None of the yarns belong to or are affiliated with any of the fandoms, franchises, or characters for which it is inspired from.

The Best-Dressed Men In The World 2019

You couldn’t call it a boring year for menswear, could you? Looking back, it’s arguably been one of the most diverse, colourful and expressive spells we’ve had in a long time. Clothes became fun again. Menswear trends were chaotic and contradictory. People let go. Men got confident. Slim-fit minimalism found itself edged out.This was the year when 23-year-old Timothée Chalamet and 66-year-old Pierce Brosnan could both become style icons. The ’90s were trending, but so were the ’70s, ’50s and ’80s. Tailoring loosened up, sustainability got serious, and there were no shortage of brands cross-pollinating.What it all means for the average guy is this: options. More of them than we’ve had in a long, long time. This might just be the most exciting time men’s fashion has known, maybe ever. And in a year when all bets were off, these 25 men were there to show us how it’s done – leading trends, breaking rules or keeping it classic, their message was the same: wear whatever the hell you want, and do it with a smile on your face.25. Troye SivanYou can’t go anywhere at the moment without hearing Troye Sivan’s name echoing off the wall. Not surprising really, it’s been a big year for the South African–born Aussie lad who found himself thrust further into the spotlight thanks to a role opposite Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe and a Golden Globe nomination for Boy Erased.The endless photocalls have given him a chance to show us all what he’s made of in the style department, and we like what we see. That being an expert blend of structured tailoring and floaty statement shirts, plenty of colour and just a dash of gender-bending make-up. 24. Tyler The CreatorWhile his style is pretty out-there, Tyler the Creator actually toned things down in 2019. He’s gone big on knitwear, with cardigans and sleeveless sweaters featuring heavily. There was of course his pastel-laden collaboration with Lacoste, one of the highlights being the pink mohair-style cardigan which he wore to the French Open. It was a big year on the whole though for the Cali native – his 2019 album Igor saw him tour the world, with his alter-ego character breaking out innumerable brightly coloured suits, and that blonde wig.Take away the wig though, and those suits work surprisingly well. Simply styled, most often with white Dr Martens on the feet, it’s just another example of tailoring’s big comeback. Elsewhere, Tyler continued his take on preppy casual – often dressing like something between Carlton from Fresh Prince and a skatewear Arnold Palmer, and it works. Tyler has always subverted notions of what you expect a rapper to dress like, and that’s why he’s cool. 23. Odell Beckham JrAmerican sports and menswear haven’t always co-existed seamlessly. Google ‘NBA Draft 2003’ and witness some of the worst tailoring you’ll ever see. Lebron James, one of the game’s most stylish players today, is dressed as an inflated marshmallow. Odell Beckham Jr was only 11 years old at this time though, and his generation grew up in an altogether different fashion landscape.By the time the NFL wide receiver was himself drafted in 2014, fashion was already at the forefront of American athlete’s minds. He wore a slim-fit, windowpane suit with a bow tie, pocket square and attention-grabbing diamond watch. Today, things have moved on again and Beckham Jr is one of the league’s more fashion-forward players.Streetwear-focussed and heavily branded, he even wore a Louis Vuitton x Supreme orthopaedic boot for his injured ankle. He’s also one of the better groomed men in the locker room and, along with James Harden, boasts one of the best beards in North American sports. 22. Mahershala AliWhen Mahershala Ali won his second Oscar at the 2019 awards ceremony, he accepted the gong wearing what is best described as a formal beanie. The fact that he looked elegant and not ridiculous as he did so will tell you plenty about how well this man can dress.In a year when he also headlined True Detective and landed the role of Blade in the MCU, his style has been all about quiet swagger. He looks as sharp in double denim as he does in red-carpet tailoring, but it’s the latter that got us rubbernecking this year. With micron-accurate cuts, interesting colours and offbeat accessories, he proved that the suit is still a long way from dead. 21. Zac EfronZac Efron’s hair had almost as big a year as the man himself. Rocking a shocking white bleach at the start of the year (and somehow pulling it off), Efron had our attention long before his role as serial killer Ted Bundy got everyone talking.When you’re this annoyingly good-looking, you can afford to take risks with your style, but what we like about the way Efron dresses is that it’s not at all try-hard. He leans on classics like denim jackets, shearling coats and slim-fit two-pieces. There’s a lot of experimentation in menswear right now, and that’s great, but here’s a reminder that for a lot of guys, the old ones are still the best. 20. Henry GoldingWhereas last year saw Henry Golding pique our interest for the first time, this year was Golding’s opportunity to really cement his status as one of the most reliably well-dressed men on the planet, which he took and smashed. Sure, leading man looks and effervescent charm certainly helped, but natural gifts aside, Golding’s dress sense showed an impressive reverence for the importance of making sure that everything fits impeccably.His numerous forays into tailoring saw all of the classics ticked off with aplomb (read: velvet, black tie) but he also showed he’s a dab hand at more eye-catching looks with bright red and pale grey colour block looks working particularly well. 19. Frank OceanFrank Ocean is arguably the most individual dresser on this list. But not in a blatant, over the top way. He knows what he likes, and doesn’t pander to brands or trends. This is a man who quietly showed up to Paris Fashion Week wearing a yellow down jacket from relatively unknown Swiss ski brand Mammut, when everyone else was dressed by the designers whose shows they were attending.He went to the Met Gala dressed as a bouncer, in all-black Prada, as he worked as a photographer taking candid snaps for Vogue. He drives BMWs from the 1980s while his contemporaries fight over the latest supercars. He wears deadstock vintage Nikes while everyone else rocks Balenciaga.Most modern celebrities (including many on this list) hire stylists to dress them, which, let’s be honest is cheating. A professional stylist would never advise a client to wear some of the looks Ocean wears, and this is precisely why we rate him so highly. He does his own thing, and this should be celebrated. 18. Eddie RedmayneThe eternally preppy Eddie Redmayne’s style hasn’t changed much in the last five years, and that’s no bad thing. Done well, preppy style is hard to beat, and Redmayne is head boy. From collegiate-inspired outerwear to sharply tailored suits, the Fantastic Beasts star rarely puts a foot wrong, and gives all the credit to his wife. There’s one way to save on hiring a stylist. 17. Rami MalekOscar-winner, Bond villain, style hero. It must really suck to be Rami Malek. He might have lived in hoodies during his breakout role in Mr Robot but off-screen, Malek’s style is a lot more polished. He combines inch-perfect tailoring with a few statement touches thqt wouldn’t look out of place in Mick Jagger’s tour wardrobe. Think bold patterned shirts or the occasional velvet jacket.There’s a certain amount of swagger here but some of the confidence to do it may stem from the fact that he grounds everything he wears with staples like black tailored trousers. That and the fact he’s Rami Malek. 16. Brad PittHere’s a funny thing: Tyler Durden is way more stylish than Brad Pitt. The actor is a fashion icon but when he’s not wearing a tuxedo, Pitt’s look is comfortable and – how shall we put it? – artfully unkempt. It works because a) he’s impossibly good-looking and b) his many stylish roles feed into his megawatt persona.In spite of all that, he looked bloody good this year, onscreen and off. In Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, he wore the hell out of 60s and 70s outfits comprised of double denim, retro T-shirts, leather jackets and Hawaiian shirts. And on the publicity circuit, he flitted between excellent tailoring and defiantly laid-back looks, including flat caps, slouchy trousers and T-shirts worn over long-sleeve tops. Not many people can do that. Brad Pitt can. 15. Nicholas HoultNicholas Hoult’s menswear stock has been steadily on the rise for some years now, but this year it reached its peak. Not surprising, given his ability to pull off coloured tailoring is second to none, from a subtle navy dinner suit to a seventies-inspired blue and yellow look and everything in between.Far from a one-trick pony, when he’s not suited and booted you’ll often find him going big on texture with a series of killer suede jackets worn over printed shirts and dark denim. There’s something about this boy. 14. Mark RonsonThe release of his new album Late Night Feelings meant that 2019 saw more appearances for Mark Ronson than we’re traditionally accustomed to. As is standard for Ronson, this meant lots of retro-inflected tailoring that stayed far away from the humdrum, it was all brightly coloured, richly textured and always worn with the producer’s trademark insouciance.In fact, we’d even go as far to say that Ronson was a living, breathing rebuttal to those predicting the demise of tailoring at the hands of streetwear. 13. David BeckhamAfter some hiccups in the noughties, this decade has seen David Beckham full morph into a seasoned master of menswear and 2019 was testament to Goldenballs’ consistency with (to our knowledge) not one foot put out of place.We’ve had an endless roster of complementary haircuts and the odd addition to an already sizeable collection of tattoos, and as always Mr Beckham came up smelling of roses. For us Beckham was at his best this year at Wimbledon and it’s no exaggeration to say that all other attendees paled in comparison. But he also excelled – as he always does – in smarter casuals like suede bombers and envelope-pushing tailoring from Dior. He’s still got it. 12. Donald GloverAs one of the world’s most successful multi-hyphenated people, ever, it’s no surprise that Donald Glover’s wardrobe defies neat categorisation, reason or logic. On paper, Glover’s eye-poppingly bold patterned suits, mad flourishes and penchant for going shirtless under tailoring sound like things that render him ineligible for a best dressed man list, but here we are (again) finding ourselves nodding in approval of Glover’s so mad it’s good wardrobe. 11. Shawn MendesWhat had you done by 21? Singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes has had himself three US number-one albums by the age, and all while crafting himself a piece-perfect modern rock and roll style that pays its dues to the past while still feeling fresh today.Tailoring embellished with ritzy touches are his forte – finished off with a pair of Chelsea boots and rock star bling – while Parisian brands Saint Laurent and The Kooples are among his favourite brands, each possessing the slim-fitting monochrome style that has turned the squeaky clean pop idol into one of menswear’s coolest figures. 10. Pierce BrosnanTo say that Pierce Brosnan (at 66 years of age) was having some sort of second wind would be inaccurate, truth be told he’s been consistently stylish since anyone can remember. Highlights this year include mastering classic suiting, proving that suede bombers look perfectly at home on those past the flushes of youth and making sunglasses worn almost anywhere feel not a jot ostentatious, just achingly cool.Oh and then there’s the expertly styled shock of silver hair which only adds to Brosnan’s timeless appeal. All in all (another) vintage year for the man formerly known as Bond. 9. Dylan SprouseIt’s a sweet life Dylan Sprouse leads. Not only has the former Disney child star bagged himself a Victoria’s Secret Angel and the sort of bone structure people go under the scalpel for, but he’s also got one of the finest wardrobes around to boot.Luxurious knits, chunky leather jackets, electric tailoring – everything screams expensive and well done. Cut also plays a key part – not too slim so as to accentuate his slender frame – it’s a wider fit that harks back to a classier time. He might only be a hot young thing in Hollywood right now, but he’s dressing like a legend. 8. Timothée ChalametThe fandom is real with Timothée Chalamet. From 60-year-old Ohio mums to teenagers in Korea, there’s something about the Hollywood A-lister that incites frenzy. For some it’s the passionate acting, for others, it’s the cherubic locks. Both are great, but what’s caught our eye the most is his boundary-pushing approach to red carpet dressing.A muse for high fashion genius Haider Ackermann, the designer has pushed the actor into all manner of space-age tailoring this year, while the star was among the first to sport the infamous Louis Vuitton holster. Sure, both, would look an absolute train wreck on 99.9 percent of men, but they look out-of-this-world on Chalamet. And more importantly, they offer a small glimpse into what men could be wearing ten years from now. Bejewelled holsters at the ready. 7. A$AP RockyHip Hop and clothing have always gone hand-in-hand. But few rappers over the course of time have adopted high fashion with as much vigour as A$AP Rocky. He’s a bold dresser, not afraid of colour, pattern or babushkas, and famously wears everything from Rick Owens to Dior, and Prada to Raf Simons. But then, A$AP Rocky isn’t afraid of anything, not even over-zealous Swedish courts. And this is reflected in the way he wears his clothes.He has enough braggadocio for an entire nation, and his fearless approach means he exudes confidence – there truly is nothing that he couldn’t pull off and he often looks better in designer gear than the models who wear it down the runway. From oversized pink Loewe suits to tie dye, leather jackets to fur, he can do it all. 6. Chadwick BosemanChadwick Boseman knows how to wear a suit. Which is a good job, as when he’s not making box office breaking films, he’s usually on the red carpet promoting them. He makes tailoring fun, and does so through wearing audacious silk jacquard dinner jackets, bold colour suits and favouring unusual cuts. And there’s rarely a tie in sight. Boseman is one of the key figures pushing the boundaries of red carpet tailoring, and for this alone, he deserves a place on this list.But he’s also adept at dressing down, favouring as he does slim dark denim, sneakers and some form of lightweight jacket on top. He’s never over-styled, and always looks enviably comfortable in what he’s wearing, which is something we can all aspire to. 5. Shia LabeoufShia Labeouf is undisputed king of the scumbros and would seem, on the surface at least, to be anti-fashion. Don’t fall for it, he knows what he’s doing. The man has been at the forefront of every ‘uncool’ trend in recent years from the return of grunge to wearing hiking gear in the city.This year, though, came something very unexpected. Off-duty, he continued the always-knowingly-underdressed thing but on the red carpet he looked like a modern Don Draper. That doesn’t mean slim suits and tie bars, it’s means wearing very modern tailoring in very modern ways, all the while looking like he’s having a fine time at it. 4. Michael B JordanOur best-dressed man of 2018 carried his form throughout this year without breaking stride or tweaking the formula (why would you?). The Michael B Jordan winning combo includes fine tonal tailoring and easy-to-copy streetwear looks. No wonder luxury label Coach bagged him as the face.But here’s something that’s not as easy to steal from the Creed star: he seems to have a Mary Poppins-style bag storing an endless collection of incredible coats. 3. Tom HollandIf the mark of a truly well-dressed man lies in the ability to look great in both formal occasions and when dressed down, Tom Holland nails it every time. Part of the omnipresent Marvel Universe, he’s been everywhere, all year, and on both the publicity tour and the red carpet, the web-slinger didn’t have a thread out of place. We’d happily wear the relaxed check trousers he wore to a Spider-Man fan event in Seoul every damn day. Any chance, Tom? 2. Harry StylesHarry Styles is best known for his soft-rock sounds and Jagger-esque dance moves, but in recent years the ex-Directioner has also established himself as one of the best-dressed men in the music industry.Out of the boy-band bubble, these days his wardrobe reflects the switch from pop puppet to viable frontman, with a slew of coloured suits, crushed velvet textures and plenty of IDGAF swag. You can’t bribe the door on your way into a Gucci campaign, you know. 1. Jake GyllenhaalThere are always arguments when the FashionBeans team sits down to debate the best-dressed men of the year. That’s unavoidable when menswear is as wonderfully diverse as it is right now. But while we admire the trend-setters and the rule-breakers, dressing like Harry Styles or Tyler the Creator is only really possible if you happen to be Harry Styles or Tyler the Creator. We always end up coming back to someone who wears clothes that are, well, wearable.For our money, nobody has bridged the worlds of high fashion and everyday style better this year than Jake Gyllenhaal. He’s dabbled with trends (tie-dye, loose tailoring) and fallen back on classics (Harrington jackets, fisherman knits). Occasionally he’ll do something flashy, but more often he’ll abide by the fashion rules that govern everybody, not just Hollywood types with clever stylists.The colours suit him, the fits are always right and – importantly – he wears the clothes, they don’t wear him. As menswear gets braver and louder, that’s worth remembering. Source link

Our sense of universal personhood is in a state of flux. ‘Act to form’ is a collection inspired by looking at new, isolated individuals that the current world order is generating.

The collection whilst attempting to uplift and empower also marks a sense of fake celebration of various events taking place around us.

The Balkan era of Greek Folk culture is used as a symbol of historical empowerment throughout the collection, connecting today’s sense of world citizenship to the ideals of personhood stemming from European Phil-Hellenic sentiments of the early 19th Century.

The shapes within the collection are generally loose and relaxed yet structured,there is also an emphasis on seaming and finishing details where different seam widths create disparate compositions on the surfaces. Feminine dresses appear as though they are about to fall off the shoulders, purposely cut this way they are loose at the top, cinched at the waist. Some styles of this story are offered in a light, crisp felt juxtaposed with a fluid felt that follows the drape of the garment.

House Tailoring is fused with shirts where jackets whilst skimming the shoulders wrap around the body to create new hybrid shapes.

There are built in folk waistcoats on classic coats and Jackets available in various weights of double faced felts and wool compositions.

Loose carrot-shaped pants and pencil skirts have integrated bold felted stripes or traditional Greek inspired wrap belts in the waistbands.

A series of white shirts are either imbued with medallion like accessories, or similar to the coats and jackets, have waistcoats built into them.

Black striped cottons, at times padded for pants possess small hand drawn Ancient Greek Sculptures on plinths, which have been hand embroidered to create a sense of spontaneity and charm.

Relaxed chunky knits and felted cashmere blends are chosen for layering pieces, at times finished with a medallion holding pocket. Luxurious merino wool has been used for signature optional roll-neck jumpers and dresses featuring fitted ribbed bodices and square necklines paired with mohair trims and pleated skirts.

Colours and Fabrics

Devore and print blends of hand drawn Greek Costumes with missing elements and spontaneous scribbles.

A custom Jacquard depicts an Ancient Greek city map fused with a modern Manhattan grid system.

Velvets have been printed onto, creating new textures.

Hand drawn Greek figures were scribbled over, the image then embroidered onto black striped shirting fabric and mixed with knitted felt fabrics.

Tailoring fabrics are subdued, principally available in concrete, black and midnight.

Knitwear in felt, merino and thick cashmere blends are in midnight, black and white while merino jumpers are also displayed in a monochromatic Delta pattern, burgundy, off white and chocolate.

The Best Winter Fabrics For Staying Warm And Stylish

Ahh, winter. It’s the season of cuffing, pumpkin spiced lattes and frantically Googling if it is possible to die from frostbite.It’s for this latter reason that it’s also a time when the fabrics that make up your wardrobe become more important than ever.Single-digit temperatures mean it’s time to swap fair-weather fabrics like linen for one of these seven heavyweight options. This is how to layer up in tactile – and yes, well-insulated – style.CashmereCashmere’s expensive, sure, but your investment pays dividends. It’s three times as insulating as wool (meaning you don’t need bulky layers to stay warm) and it’s an unalloyed pleasure against your skin, since the fibres are less than quarters the width of human hair.That is, so long as it is unalloyed. If there’s no label in sight, you can tell the good stuff by rubbing it between your fingers. If it feels oily, it’s cut with lambswool, so don’t pay premium prices.While that cashmere overcoat remains a dream, stick to accessories. A scarf in cashmere – or a wool-cashmere blend, if your budget is tight – will protect you from winter’s worst and offer a contrast to the textures in your tailoring. Alternatively, cashmere jumpers will keep you toasty without burning through your savings.FleeceA few years ago, it was unlikely that any card-carrying member of club menswear would have turned to the world of outdoor pursuits for style advice. Fast-forward to the present, however, and hiking boots, cagoules and even fleece have rambled off the mountain onto the runway.The latter for good reason. Invented in 1979 as a cheaper replacement for wool, polar fleece (as it was then known) has proved over the years that its ability to retain heat while also wicking moisture away from the body is anything but second best.As any hardened cragsman will tell you, a fleece jacket is essential during the colder months, and can be dressed up with dark wash jeans and minimalist sneakers. Or, for a more entry-level move, pull on the fabric’s properties via a pair of fleece joggers or a lined sweatshirt.Merino WoolNature’s great insulator, wool — in all its forms: mohair, tweed, worsted etc. — has been prized for centuries for its ability to stand up to harsh conditions in colder climes.When you can’t spring for cashmere, reach for Merino. Shorn from the eponymous sheep, it’s almost as fine as the spendier stuff and is also breathable and super-absorbent, making it the perfect base layer. Just ask the cyclists who prefer it to space-age materials.But it’s not just good in sportswear. A Merino roll neck will regulate your body heat on those tricky-to-dress-for transitional days. Or for something simpler, Merino T-shirts are the ideal layering piece, able to retain heat while looking far more stylish than a thermal vest.CorduroyThe cows have come home, pigs are taking to the skies, and your geography teacher’s favourite fabric is now fashion-forward, thanks in part to Wes Anderson’s ubiquity on designers’ mood boards.Match your fit to his; corduroy suits cut with breathing room in a narrow wale (that’s the space between the ridges), which will give your tailoring some texture and banish any thoughts of oxbow lakes.A thicker wale means a heavier fabric, which traps more heat. Save Grand Canyon ridges for outerwear – a trucker jacket with a shearling lining ticks off two trends without denting your pocket.ShearlingWhen combative elements are on the approach, the military can always be relied on to provide functional menswear that keeps its wearer cosy and warm.Shearling (or sheepskin, as it’s otherwise known) was originally added to pilots’ jackets for extra insulation during World War II, making it perfect for keeping warm during the winter months.These days, the charge is being led by the return on 1970s style, so deploy the plush stuff (or faux ‘borg’, for a wallet-friendly alternative) as a lining on coats and jackets, then pair with a roll neck.FlannelAs is to be expected of a fabric commonly associated with the American outdoors, worn by cowboys, hunters and lumberjacks alike, flannel is nothing if not hardy.The fabric’s distinctive appearance comes courtesy of fine metal brushes, which are run over the fabric to create a ‘nap’ – the raised fibres that give the material its softness. Beyond texture, the lifted material traps air and heat, making it the ideal counter to plunging mercury.It’s the staple winter suit fabric since its cold-weather credentials are bolstered by a matte appearance suited to greyer skies. With central heating and public transport putting paid to the true winter suit, opt for a for lighter fabric – 10-11oz – for tailoring you can wear from autumn to spring.GabardineBefore Thomas Burberry’s textile breakthrough in 1879, waterproof clothing was rubberised, which kept the rain out, but the sweat (and smells) in. So as well as looking like Trawlerman, chances are you’d reek like one too.Gabardine is the result of a new approach, which involved treating the fabric before the weaving process, making it breathable without compromising protection from the elements. And thus, an iconic piece of outerwear was born.Today, gabardine is synonymous with durability. Gabardine suits are hard-wearing and hold their shape, ideal for damp commutes when you want to avoid arriving at the office wrinkled. Certain blends are even machine washable, for those days when you can’t seem to avoid the puddles. Source link
