The John Varvatos Spring 2012 menswear collection shown at Milan Fashion Week exhibited a handsome mix of rustic fabrics and rugged aesthetics made suitable for modern urban warriors. The line still took cues from women's fashion, infusing floral patterns into suiting and finishing outfits with accessories like long scarves or satchels; however, this isn't the feminized menswear we've seen from other designers in previous seasons.
Indeed, the John Varvatos Spring 2012 contains many pieces that even a man's man will love. Perfectly tailored trousers, patriotic scarves and basic yet comfortable sweaters are just some of the pieces that will appeal to those who prefer a more masculine look. I especially like the tan and neutral-hued blazers shown at Milan Fashion Week.
