From Milan Fashion Week we finally noticed how much men love accessories and details. Now that Menswear season has closed, after the last Fashion Week taking place in Paris, we can come to a final conclusion: next summer men will definitely compete with women over style.

Parisian catwalks were an explosion of pastel colors and, above all, of pink, declined in all its shades, from the brighter to the sugarplum hue. But mind you, this doesn’t mean guys are less virile than before; actually what we saw in Paris is the very proof that men can be elegant and sexy also wearing the feminine color par excellence.

Recollecting his 70s trips in Downtown New York, Paul Smith proposed a fresh, and super cool, version of the damn artist, whose style, despite a first scruffy impression, is totally elegant and well-finished in details. Pop Art references can be read on the color palette choice as well as on the floral screen print reproduced on shirts. Total pink suits can’t scratch at all that beloved darker side of Paul Smith’s intellectuals and oversize shapes. Long jackets and high-waisted trousers also contribute to intensify his vintage attitude making him more and more mysterious and seductive.

Virgil Abloh then freed his tender and romantic soul creating for Louis Vuitton a blooming Spring Summer 2020 Collection. Floral crowns and collars, handbags like as flowerbeds are the new codes of a nature-lover man who proudly shows his passion by wearing shirts, jackets and pants embellished with printed and embroidered blossoms and medicinal herbs. The favorite tones of LV man are delicate and strong at the same time: cold hues of iced grey and lilac refer to his introspective and shy attitude, while the bright nuances of fuchsia, blue and flashy yellow and orange mark the inner power to stand out from the others.

Dior man doesn’t loose his elegance even wearing shorts pants and clothes with more sporty shapes. The suit, traditionally proposed in 50 shades of grey, walks down the catwalk together with white shirts and T-shirts embellished with brush strokes of orange and yellow. The prints over the coveralls remind us a bucolic portrayal as well as the famous Portuguese azulejos; while maison logo shyly appears on bombers, short pants and on the Saddle bum bag. Dior man doesn’t dare with total pink looks but he neither quits showing at least one pink detail, which can be a simply tie, a cap, or a more striking coat.
