AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM AMANDA LEPORE

Man Fashion: Patrik Erell Men Fall 2008 Collection

If you are looking for man sporty elegance style, then you are not require to look for alternative, Patrik Ervell has released his latest sporty fashion collection in NY fashion week recently.

Shawl collared one button jackets were layered over knits and button ups and paired with refined trousers that looked as comfortable as they did smooth. Other trousers had double pleats that looked refreshing instead of frumpy making a compelling argument for the overlaps of fabric.





Hoodies added a touch of functionality and sportiness to the collection as high collars overlapped giving the appearance of a double breasted neck. Meanwhile pull-over knit sweaters had double breasted shawl collars, which looked great alone or layered under a sportscoat.

Charcoals, beige and grey were the basis of a palette that came to life as gold made a significant appearance towards the end in the form of foil metallics and knits.
