Subsequently, it wasn t that the concept of utility became d mod or that cargo pants suffered a sudden death. Nowadays, of course, aesthetics are the rule. This summer, you re a sportsman one moment, a poor boy the next, a glam Left Bank artist during the week, a dangerous hustler in exile on the weekend. With fall stock already trickling into the backrooms of stores, and Italian design houses such as Trussardi, Prada, and Gucci producing clutches, travel bags, and shoulder bags for guys, men will have just a few more months in which to master the art of accessorizing. Perhaps this is the most exciting time for menswear, when men can afford to invest in clothes without thinking they look silly.
Fashion is, after all, about breaking all the rules and living out fantasy.
