Lately, it’s becoming harder and harder to ignore the growing interest in classic menswear. Obviously, classic pieces are inherently always popular, but a look back at the most recent Fashion Month will proffer a mountain of examples that tailoring with a twist is on the rise. And it’s this ‘twist’ that makes the return of more formal styles so interesting this time.
Young brands and storied houses alike are flipping the script when it comes to getting suited and booted. Whether that’s flourishes in material like sheer shirts, or variations in proportions to emphasize bolder silhouettes, looking to classic styles no longer means playing it safe. One of the labels that have really caught our eye in this field lately is Egonlab.
The brand which opened its doors right before the pandemic set in has not only weathered the storm but actually come out of it as a standout name. Its Fall 2022 show in Paris was the final proof we needed that Egonlab is a name to remember.
Quilted silk overshirts shared the runway with couture evening dresses, flashes of tarot-card detailing, and even tracksuits all wrapped up with a heavy dose of religious imagery. The Egonimati collection proved the wild range of the young brand and solidified us as dedicated followers.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite pieces from the latest collection that prove it’s earned a spot in your wardrobe.
