Elegance has been one of the main repetitive themes of the men’s series this season. Many designers are working hard to relax, sophisticated and relaxed clothes in the world of streetwear, back-dish. Soft cuts, shiny embellishments and pajama silhouettes abound.

The prosperity of JW Ford charm flourishes, amidst shocks of metal damask scarves, glittering socks and scarlet tailoring.
