One of my favorite issues is the observation of new uses, changes and trends in relation to custom made suits. And above all, relations of these changes with the history of men’s fashion. Tonight, a few prospective always with this new condition of youth including myself for clothing collar studs.
I found, for five years now (I remember especially when the election of Mr. Sarkozy, supported by an uninhibited youth) that the door polo high collar, that is to say, not down collar not pressed by mom. The brands themselves happily communicate in this way as Vicomte A. or Hackett. If at first I thought an epiphenomenon, I am less convinced, as the high-necked clothes grow.
Just to be convinced to browse catalogs. And the centerpiece for three seasons is the shawl collar sweaters, which is found in all sauces, propelled higher by the Ivy style trend. That’s two.
Note the classic among classics is also on the pull-shirt with zip or buttons, often with a collar to give warm fireplace. Same idea with Danton collar jackets, which Arnys is quite familiar, or even some trench coat with such necklines.
The idea is the same and often synonymous with comfort, warmth. Because these collars around the neck, protects, without using a scarf. They are perfect for the back end, when you can not accurately predict the temperature it will.
But beyond that, I can not help thinking that the non-down collar shirts are synonymous else. Then qu’évidement worn summer, the heat requirement does not feel. First, it is a bit arrogant, at least very self-assured. It was characteristic of the gilded youth of the Sarkozy era, VA polo neck top with RayBan. But secondly, let’s look further. If we go back a little history of clothing, low necklines are an anomaly. Before the soft collar on shirts, high collar … rose very high. They surrounded almost entirely neck, like a chimney. And before that, in the Romantic era, they were synonymous with nonchalance along with comfort. Imagine there is Byron and Goethe with a low pass?
Therefore, the high collar does not appear to me as a twaddle of fashion, but a little something remarkable and disturbing … And if that was the premise of something, a major new cycle of cheap custom suits, to bring comfort (always the same) of ‘sport-chic Italian? What do you think?
