For the coming fall, Calvin Klein's Men's Creative Director Italo Zucchelli maintained the brand's sleek and sophisticated polish but added a dash of zest through bold accents like [crocodile skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-croc) and interesting contrast paneling. With the palette dominated by black, navy and beige, the Calvin Klein Fall 2012 Menswear lineup included [slick blazers and pantsuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea) for which the label is known, as well as more contemporary pieces ranging from large capes, croc-paneled sweaters and cool color-blocked coats. An all-croc blazer put an eclectic spin on the basic suit jacket while all-biege ensembles offered a new way to approach monochromatic dressing.
