Mixing colored and patterned wools with indigo denims and and other cotton pants, the Ami Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook showcases its relaxed and casual lineup for next season. Tweeds and striped suit separates add a bit of formality to the relatively laid-back line of apparel, which focuses on chinos, cords, denim, chunky sweaters and hip outerwear.
And, while there are some pretty bold patterns present in this offering from the brand, most of the collection is mature and immediately wearable, making these garments appealing to any stylish man who wants to look put together and masculine at the same time. Tartan, plaid, and argyle patterns with the addition of mustard-yellow, tan, orange and maroon color choices provide for a throwback to decades gone by, but the modern tailoring and styling of the up-and-coming Ami Fall/Winter 2012 collection will definitely have you looking sharp and current.
