A military inclination to Balmain’s latest collection is at the forefront, tying together themes of classic British menswear spanning across several decades. Buttoned shirt-jackets and overcoats boasting strong epaulettes and a notable assortment of breast pockets characterize much of the release. Army greens stand out amongst desert tones, while a thorough consideration of versatility in style is a big part of the collection via a strong program of leather jackets and a modern tailored approach.
Quite a few excellent wardrobe staples in this season’s offerings. I see a bit of a New Wave influence in some of the styling that I find very satisfying.
