Wardrobe Goals: The Calvin Klein SS16 Collection

While it's easy to always find pieces one likes from almost every fashion show it is quite rare to like every single thing coming down the runway from beginning to end. And that's exactly what happened to me while I sat at the Calvin Klein show in Milan today.
The collection, as it often does, concentrated on colour with a basic palette of black, white, khaki and light blue washed denim. It stayed true to the brand's minimalist aesthetic but it did so departing from the tougher boxier silhouettes we had been seeing lately. And yet it retained just the perfect dose of structure – especially in the jackets and trousers.
A few key styles really stood out for me. Firstly, this season's ubiquitous denim jacket, which Italo Zucchelli envisioned every so slightly cropped, with a little volume but still fairly slim and presented in its classic light blue wash, the perfect shade of beige-meets-camel and navy.
T-shirts are not usually something I notice much, especially printed ones. However, the brand's palm tree model had this crispness to it that made the fabric fall in a different way making the basic staple more interesting.
Last but most definitely not least, the trousers in two main shapes: A classic suit pant a bit cropped and cuffed. The untraditional fabric makes for a truly versatile piece as they can be worn both as part of a suit and as a casual pant. The second shape takes the first further with cargo pockets also making it a rather interesting proposal as cargo pants are more often than not presented with looser/slouchier fit.

An excellent collection from the first to the last look and proof that consistency and austerity can also be extremely modern and luxe.

Most Stylish of the Week: Ryan Gosling in Salvatore Ferragamo

It has been a while since the last Most Stylish of the Week – partly because of laziness but mostly because of my lack of energy over the last few weeks. This time, though, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to post about Ryan Gosling's latest public appearance.
The actor showed up at the premiere of his latest film 'Only God Forgives', which I can't wait to see. Ryan wore a season-appropriate Salvatore Ferragamo look: an off-white suit with a white shirt and brown leather shoes. The lack of tie didn't prevent the outfit from looking absolutely sharp and chic. It's a perfect example of how a light suit should be worn.
Jason Sudeikis, an American GQ favourite, wore a Calvin Klein grey chintz wool one-button notch lapel suit and dress shoes from the Spring 2013 collection. Jason, like Ryan, wore it without a tie and open collar and accessorised it with a cool pair of grey sunglasses and a great quiff.
Kevin Jonas has never been the best dressed of the Jonas Brothers but this week he looked great in a look anyone of us should be careful putting together at home. The singer layered a short-sleeve navy shirt under a printed t-shirt. A great solution for an interesting an manly outfit that must be combined with utter care.
A favourite of mine, Daniel Radcliffe, continues looking great on every occasion. This time he went for a smart but young number with blue chinos paired with a light blue checked button-down shirt and high-top Vans. The last perfect touch was, of course, the tight haircut and light stubble that give the look a contemporary feel.

Most Stylish of the Week: 'Tis the Season to Look Dashing

I am a true believer in that the holidays make everyone want to look their best. Whether it's at movie premieres, Miami Art Basel or heading to Whole Foods for a spot of grocery shopping celebrities looked dashing this week.
John Krasinski killed it in a slim Calvin Klein number. And not only the fit is perfect but so are the proportions. It's a classic suit but the touch of black satin on the buttons and lapels gives it a fresh vibe.
Another actor who got it right this week is Elijah Wood, who has us used to skinny fits but looked great this week in a more classic fit, which he accessorised perfectly with a checked tie of festive vibes.
Joseph Altuzarra, one of my favourite womenswear designers, managed to find the perfect casual outfit for Art Basel. The centrepiece is, of course, the stunning green suede varsity jacket. Who else but a designer could be so aware of the power of a simple colour palette and a touch of texture.
Jim Toth, Reese Witherspoon's new husband, proved how a man can be fashionable, manly and comfortable. The chambray shirt and chinos combo is a no-brainer and here it's perfectly with a preppy shawl collar cardigan and tan leather wingtip brogues.

This week's praise for best grooming is all for David Gandy. It's one thing to be in such good shape that everything looks good on you but it's nice to see he doesn't only rely on his good looks and gives grooming the importance it deserves. Gandy's haircut is simple enough but works perfectly with his head's shape and build.
