Pantsless Men's Suits

The Carin Wester Spring/Summer 2013 Collection Explores New Territory

— August 31, 2012 — Fashion
The Carin Wester Spring/Summer 2013 collection is a risk-taking design project that will likely change the way people think about men's fashion. Wester describes the collection as a departure from the classic suit "revealing contemporary elegance with a relaxed attitude."

The collection uses an interesting and modern geometric graphic print for shorts and shirts that works well. The elbow-length wide-sleeve shirts can't be worn by everyone, but they are still an admirable tweak on classic design. Where the collection goes a little wild is with the knee-length, double-breasted suit jackets, especially when they are paired with shorts.

Who knows, maybe the knee-length suit jacket is the next thing. In any case, it's nice to see such an unabashedly creative talent making a big name in the world of fashion.

Trend Themes
1. Geometric Graphic Prints - Opportunity for companies to incorporate bold and modern graphic prints into men's fashion for a unique and eye-catching look.
2. Elbow-length Wide-sleeve Shirts - Potential for designers to create unconventional shirt designs that offer a relaxed and distinctive style for fashion-forward men.
3. Knee-length Suit Jackets - Disruptive opportunity to introduce knee-length suit jackets as a new trend in men's fashion, combining formal and casual elements.
Industry Implications
1. Men's Fashion - Companies in the men's fashion industry can explore innovative designs and styles to cater to the evolving preferences of fashion-conscious men.
2. Graphic Design - Graphic design professionals can collaborate with fashion brands to create bold and captivating geometric prints for clothing and accessories.
3. Fashion Design - Fashion designers can push boundaries and challenge traditional norms by experimenting with unconventional shirt and jacket designs for men.
