Paris Show for Men's Fashions Includes Printed T-Shirts

The Paris fall fashion show for men included a lot of closely fitting jackets over equally close fitting pants or leggings. Reflecting a recession though, the colors were muted with dark flecked tweeds and black and grey fabrics. There were boots, sports inspired garments, ethnic influences, and business suits. The potpourri of designs and styles was well received though most were priced outside the range of the average shopper.

To be brutally honest too, many of the styles were simply impractical for the average shopper. You don’t see too many working class men wearing tights, vests, tall boots and jackets, and carrying a purse. Velvet waistcoats look great on young thin models, but the verdict is out as to how they would look on the overweight male working overtime.

What was interesting to note though, in a picture of a group of the models, is that some were wearing printed t-shirts. T-shirts simply go with everything these days including thousand dollar jackets with hoods. The printing on the t-shirts ranges from tie-dye to simple hearts but the very presence of the t-shirts in such a fashion show proves that the t-shirt is always going to be popping up as a fashion essential.

Of course, the printed t-shirts in the fashion show probably cost a fortune. But if you can’t afford the kinds of prices designers charge, you can certainly re-create the look. All you have to do is find a retailer that does t-shirt printing, add a long coat you buy at a reasonable priced retailer, borrow a man’s purse (if you know someone who actually carries one), and you have turned yourself into a male model. Printed t-shirts are fun to wear and can be paired with anything you like. So go ahead and pull those cardigans, coats, and hoodies out of the closet because they are back in style. Paris runways don’t have a thing over your wardrobe.
