It seems like skirts for men are appearing on almost every runway and in almost every lookbook for spring and fall 2012 this year, and the Giuliano Fujiwara Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook is no different. The label capitalizes on the trend, but makes it their own, by offering some wool, winterized versions of the garment. They even have one that has a coordinating pattern to one of their suits and that is pictured here draping over a pair of dress trousers.
Mix in some bold pops of color, slouchy tailored pieces and stylish outerwear, and what you get is a youthful collection of both surprisingly masculine and sporty, casual, daytime suits. So if you're looking for the most masculine way to embrace the skirt trend for men this season, the new Giuliano Fujiwara Fall/Winter 2012 collection may offer the best way to make this happen.
