It’s not very often that ombré is used in menswear (at least to my knowledge). The term is generally used for fabrics where the color is graduated from light to dark. Phillip Lim’s Spring 2012 collection utilized the technique making for a subtle deviation from the norm. Stay faded ombrés Hombres.
Here’s a look thats extra laid back. What pulls it all together is the trench coat that adds some definition to the slouchy look. Then there’s the neutral palette making for sum’n pretty easy on the eyes. Not to mention the Rick Owen’s sneakers which, could have been the basis for this outfit. Making sweatpants not look “bummish” might not be easy for everyone but if you ask me it’s worth a try if you nail it like this.
I haven’t seen Heron in person since his “Young and the Banging” gallery show in 2008. Even so I can always be certain he’s out there looking extra sharp. Heron buttoned up the top two buttons and let the rest hang out – it’s a nice way to expose a complete look.
