Season's Best Gear
The Man Show
Who would have thought that one of the most radical looks from the spring 2003 men's collections would be a sharply tailored suit worn with a shirt and tie? Once again, designers are moving toward a much more formal approach to getting dressed. Go for a touch of the forties with double-breasted suits, wide pants, and sweaters worn with knotted scarves -- fedora optional. The flip side of this sartorial coin is the rise of a utility-meets-sports look: Lightweight parkas, hooded jackets, and cargo pants are winners in this field. And just to prove that the influence of rock music goes way beyond MTV, designers remixed the style of bands du jour the Hives, the Vines, and, of course, the Strokes. Relive your CBGB youth with black leather jackets, skinny shirts, and faded, distressed denim.
