If the Salvatore Ferragamo Fall/Winter 2014 menswear collection had to revolve around two things, they would be stripes and outerwear. Unlike the Salvatore Ferragamo designs that were sent out for Spring, this collection is less about sporty silhouettes and more about tailoring and texture.
Stripes are used horizontally and vertically in the collection, as well as in small pinstripes and wide bands of color that break up the hem, cuffs and other parts of long jackets. Stripes are known to be slimming on their own, but this menswear collection emphasizes this with slim suits, pants and outerwear that has been nipped in or belted at the waist.
The coloring of the collection seems to take inspiration from gorgeous earthy autumnal tones, with a few vibrant pops of red, purple, orange and blue.
