Alexander Wang is all about pushing boundaries and his Fall 2016 menswear collection may be one of his most limit-busting yet. He takes unisex dressing head-on, enlisting a strong set of models to pose in his wares along with Hanne Gaby Odiele to show that women shouldn’t shy away from the assortment either.
Graphic t-shirts are layered under plaid lumberjack-inspired button front shirts, while camo pants inject another layer of prints into the ensembles—as well as another coating of that quintessential New York City grit.
The bomber jacket takes a backseat for the season, replaced with a high-fashion version of the classic, collared workwear jacket. Though of course the former is shown in the same, aforementioned black and white plaid.
Other outerwear silhouettes are shown including duffel coats, those accented with black leather panels, knee-length pieces, and even a waterproof jacket boasting an iteration of the brand’s logo.
And stripes are one of the collection’s most beloved prints: whether they’re oversized on a timeless polo or placed vertically on a two-tone denim shirt. Either way, they’re incredibly functional.
These designs are exactly what we’d expect from Wang—wearable and stand out simultaneously. And as he planned, women should definitely buy into this assortment as well. Whether it’s a jacket in a bigger size worn with something a bit more form-fitting for balance, or a graphic tee with a pair of heels, we can definitively cancel “borrowing” for the boys. A fashionable lady has her own, we’d say.
