NYFW: Backstage Band of Outsiders Spring/Summer 2017

Band of Outsiders SS17 Image: Christopher Logan.

With California prep the artistic epicenter, the newly reimagined Band of Outsiders debuted its collegiate Spring/Summer 2017 line during New York Fashion Week. Enhanced letterman’s jackets, oversized cable-knit sweaters, and a healthy heaping of plaid make for a studious collection that is classic in its approach yet illuminating in its take on sunny suburbia.

A LOOK IN SIDE OPENING CEREMONY LONDON—GRAND OPENING TODAY

Opening Ceremony - London

Opening Ceremony’s first ever European store opened today with enough goodies to make us consider braving the Olympic mess just to cruise down the aisles. Founders Carol Lim and Humberto Leon chose Covent Garden in London to place their 3,000-square-foot temporary shop at 31-32 King Street, which will be followed by a larger space down the road at 35 King Street to open in the fall. (Also this fall, the store will release an illustrated book with Rizzoli that’ll include contributions by Opening Ceremony’s regular collaborates and friends including Terry Richardson, Spike Jonze and Chloë Sevigny). The London shop’s got some pretty cool outstanding features like the iconic Claire de Rouen bookshop in shop which will carry a selection of handpicked rare first editions and inspiring books. Norma Kamali’s releaseing archival pieces and a new collaboration with OC as well as will Topshop. And what would a London store be without mention of those Olympic games? Special Olympic products have been developed exclusively for Opening Ceremony by brands including Band of Outsiders, Charles Anastase, Delfina Delettrez, Christopher Shannon, House of Holland, Prism and Pamela Love. Proenza Schouler has created a special all-gold mini PS11 that is launching exclusively at Opening Ceremony London.

SHOPPING GUIDE: THINGS TO GET FOR NEXT SPRING AT THIS SUMMER'S SALES

RICHARD CHAI BASEBALL SHIRT AT SAKS
Asus

The best/worst thing about fashion in July (other than the completely irresponsible use of too much exposed skin in a look)  is that it brings end of season sales! They’re bad for the constant reminder that summer’s end is near, but good for the excellent discounts it presents the shopper. Especially the savvy one. With that said, here’s the essential guide to shopping for next summer season (that’s 2013)  at this season’s discounted prices. Huh? Impossible? Hardly. After the jump, you’ll find out which styles to eye as the sales unfold, and as an added bonus, links to a few pieces that are already on sale for a bargain.


 

What to look for:  SUMMER TOP COATS

From Dior Homme to Ermenegildo Zegna, the men’s shows in Paris and Milan displayed a clear penchant for a summer top coat. While this may not be practical for, say, the dead of summer, don’t forget that much of our time is spent in seasonal pergatory—that strange kind of warm, kind of cold area that these lightweight coats are the perfect, stylish anecdote for. Chose something colorful, yellows and blues were both big on the runway, and look for double breasted or 3 button styles, both also big for next season.

PAUL SMITH
Paul Smith Navy Blue Cotton Trench
$554 $334; on sale at farfetch.com 

 

What to look for:  SPORT CHIC

One of the biggest trends for Spring/Summer 2013 will be dressed up winks and nods to athletics. The Olympic after effect? Who knows. What we do know is that Louis Vuitton, Prada and Hermes all presented collections that had clear references to sports. Look for color and softer fits.

What to look for:  PRINT SHIRTS

Print shirts are a trend—this, you know—and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. The trick to buying one on the sale rack now is to go underground. As in, don’t get that prada shirt you’ve been eyeing all season, instead, shoot for something under the radar that follows the trend but wasn’t blown up all over the place.

What to look for:  CROPPED BLAZERS

Both Paris and Milan took the blazer up a few notches. Meaning, they cropped them. Double breasted and worn soft and loose, pair it with dark trousers or denim for a fall look and then with white or bright colors again next spring.

What to look for:  PRINT SUITS

Actually, keep an eye out for light print suits. This category, of all, continues to allude any good sale, yet discount season has just begun. With the warmth that designers, stores and shoppers have shown towards print, its safe to go a bit darker and even a little kookier than normal. If its on sale, why not get something a little daring. Besides, being that its a suit, you can chose to pair each piece sepearately. Below, we’d pair the pants sepeartely with a solid top and likewise, the blazer would be a stand out piece when worn with a slick pair of denim or trousers.

More What to look for: 

Some things just aren’t on sale right now but that doesn’t mean they won’t. Other trends we noticed at the London, Milan and Paris shows are….

– Pleated, high waist trousers. This isn’t a look for every guy, but for those of you who like to push the boundaries, there’s bound to be a few like styles hitting a sale rack soon.

– Color. A lot of guys are still a little intimidated by going big and bright but the sale rack can be a great place to experiment.  The big colors of next season, and ones that will also work in fall, are teal and green tea. Try denim if you’re a first timer, or go more bold with a blazer if you’re ready.
