The Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2013 Ready to Wear Collection has recently released its look book of spiffy menswear pieces.
Taking inspiration from 1940s styles, which was a time when fashion turned back to elegant and suave after the great depression, the collection is full of sophisticated and classic elegance. Large stripes in various hues as well as other bold graphic designs are encapsulated within the collection among the more dominant sleek suits and dapper pants and jacket styles. The cuts of some of the styles, such as the ankle length of the trousers as well as the accessories used throughout, including fedoras and round specks, complete the overall look.
Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2013 menswear line is a well executed collection that plays well into the style and time of 1940s fashions.
