FROM SLIM-BAGGY TO SHORT CROPPED

June 2014

By Marcellous L. JONES

Milan, Italy – Holy Moly! For the first time as long as one can remember, legs are truly on display in a Milan men’s collection. Designer Andrea Pompilio gives us lots of shorts that reach down above the knees.  From there we see lots of short cropped trousers with no cuffs. The trousers are slim-baggy cut, and falls inches above the ankles.

The designer gives us lots of button-down, short-sleeved garage shirts and light trench coats. The prints are ethnic in nature and are well put together in ways that create a harmonious clash with other elements in the collection.  The splits in the linen blazers from the suits are cut high up into the waistline.  The men’s handbags are also printed.
