The Ins, Outs & Upside Downs of New Age Dressing

Fashion's inversions are just wearers' interpretations; as society moves toward ironic attire, Men's Folio breaks down the appeal of remixed styling.

Tops worn inverted, cardigans lazily slung and buttons incorrectly buttoned-dishevelled dressing is in. This season, Givenchy presented a cacophony of hoodie-overlaid vests and raw-cut melange skirts. In the same collection, double-layered hoodies and denim cargos adorned with veneers in the shape of micro-minis also made appearances. Dior Men styled its Fall '23 cashmere sweaters as partially worn and almost ill-draped. Indie labels also follow suit; Commission's Spring/Summer '24 collection titled Unpressed showcased minute rips and cuts, statement asymmetry and an overwhelming penchant for billowy wrinkles and draping. Y/Project also has a distinct brand of intentionally peculiar products - be it for wiring its jeans or adding a multitude of collars to its polos.
