Paul Smith SS27 Men Looks Report

Milan Fashion Week

Paul Smith SS27 strips the men's suit back to its emotional core, then deliberately unsettles it through layering, personal accumulation and a studied sense of dishevelment. For buyers, this collection arrives at exactly the moment when the market needs a credible answer to the question of how tailoring stays relevant to a generation that dresses by feeling rather than occasion.

Silhouette and Volume

A broad-shouldered jacket dominates, cut long in the body and single or double-breasted. High-waisted, wide-leg pleated trousers break at the shoe. The proportions read 1980s in their geometry but the execution is relaxed enough to avoid period costume. Shorts appear in Looks 15, 16, 17 and 18, pairing the same voluminous upper half with knee-length or above-the-knee bottoms. This split gives the collection two distinct halves, one tailored and one designed for warm weather.
