The Bottega Veneta Fall 2014 collection is full of the kind of looks that you just want to put on and wear all winter, like a uniform that you keep going back to time and time again. Although descriptions from the designer were vague when asked about the collection, one word that did come up was "casual."
Many of the menswear looks featured basic track pant styles, but rather than looking slouchy or sloppy, these relaxed pants were paired with other garments that elevated their level of sophistication. In addition to dark tones and comfy fabric choices, another theme that ran throughout the collection was a utilitarian feel, bringing structure to fabrics that are traditionally associated with lounging.
