Despite the current tragedy surrounding the Missoni family, the Missoni 2013 fall/winter collection went off without a hitch.
The menswear collection boasted a relatively subdued color pattern, intricately weaved sweaters and heavy tweed fabrics. The line gave off a bit of a university professor vibe with the layered sweater and sports jacket combinations. The sweaters were the focal point of the collection as the bulky knits boasted rust, browns, mustard and biege colors ideal for the frigid winter months. In usual fashion, the collection also had a few pieces with the iconic Missoni pattern, which would look divine layered or worn on its own.
The Missoni 2013 menswear collection not only demonstrates the brand's versatility but also its staying power as a successful and ongoing power house capable of delivering practical and chic collections.
