A Modern Kind of Retrospective ... Burton Menswear FW2014

Do you know what is cool at the moment? Dressing up like we’re going back in time! 

As the old is considered the new “new”, high street fashion labels are looking back into the style archives, resurrecting back looks that used to be worn by the “coolest of cool” people.

At Burton Menswear, the menswear styles of the 1960s and 1990s inspired the brand to churn out pieces that are imbued with lean silhouettes. References from the vintage days bring forth sophisticated modernity to its fall/winter 2014 collection. 

Featuring clear cut details with austere approach, the Burton Menswear collection boasts true British heritage back during the Swinging 60s era.

Clean and slim fit suiting that made the core of men’s fashion back in the 60s are dappled in monochromatic colours such as grey with occasional presence of optical art-like print.

Subtle yet basic colours such as dark green, black, teal, red and purple made up the working palette for the season. 

Plaid and textured fabrics such as jacquard, twill, flannel and herringbone add modern masculine appeal to this collection.

With Christmas is approaching fast, do look forward to getting your hands on the Rock n’ Roll-inspired pieces such as leather biker jacket, super skinny jeans and rock star-worthy boots to unleash the inner rock icon in you at the upcoming Christmas parties.

If you chose to be a dapper man about town, perhaps the tailored skinny blazer in velvety shade of burgundy paired with skinny fit trousers and slim fit white shirt will make all ladies’ heads turn.

To kill the chill of winter, layer on pieces such as double breasted overcoats, bomber jackets and patterned knitwear over your ensemble. However, as the said pieces may be too absurd to be worn in our climate, there are plenty of other stylish pieces that are worth investing from Burton Menswear, such as t-shirts, chino and denim trousers.

The fall/winter 2014 collection from Burton Menswear is available now at all Burton Menswear stores worldwide.
