The softer side of Crocco: Perry Ellis creative director, John Crocco shows us soft colors and fabrics that set an easy breezy (yet masculine) tone for men's sportswear.
The look? If Chuck and Nate from Gossip Girl had a baby, this would be it's wardrobe when he grows up and spends times in the Hamptons.
What works? The boy blue is such a flattering tone for the warmer seasons. Crocco's use of seersucker is the epitome of Americana and the outwear in the form of softly hued "vacation" jackets, cardigans, leisure jackets, linen sportcoats and windbreakers give versatile pieces to the preppy modern male.
Seeing spots: Even though some of the polka dot pieces (bermudas and that golf jacket) seemed a bit out of character for the Perry Ellis label, it gave the collection a whimsy that would've been bland otherwise.
Sartorially swashbuckling: Seeing the lace-up closures on hoodies was cool at first, but by the time I saw it the third time I couldn't help but think of a flamboyant hybrid of Jack Sparrow and Errol Flynn.
Other things I could've done without: Is the whole sweater vest without a shirt underneath really gonna come back in style? If so, you can count me out. That goes for the shirt collar outside of the blazer lapel trend too.
Overall conclusion: For the most part, wearable for the everyday man. It's effortless and it works on a commercial, yet stylish level. Oh yeah, Ioved the pique double collar P-E-R-R-Y-E-L-L-I-S signature polo finale.
