Paris Outfits

Paris outfits center on sharp wool coats, sculpted pleats, and supple leather footwear grounded in neutral shades of black and cream. Tailored jackets cut with clean shoulder lines balance fluid trousers to create a steady silhouette built for walking the city.

Rei Kawakubo, a Japanese designer, first showed in Paris in the early eighties with oversized, asymmetric clothes. Issey Miyake studied and worked in Paris before going home to Tokyo. Homme Plisse Issey Miyake, a men's line launched under his name in twenty thirteen, pleats its pieces after they are sewn so they resist wrinkles. Guidi, a tannery founded in Pescia in Tuscany in the late eighteen nineties, dyes its leather boots after they are made.

Wear a wool coat over pleated trousers with leather boots or low sneakers. WDLT117 in Toronto brings Guidi boots and Homme Plisse Issey Miyake pleated trousers and jackets. Utopia in Toronto brings Jordan and Nike sneakers, many of them pre owned, and Due West in Toronto brings coats and jackets from Mackage and Canada Goose.
