General Idea Spring 2012 Runway Collection
boy, the future is looking bright for the guys at General Idea for Spring 2012. Proper turned practical, even more so on the coastal scene. Nautical inspired pieces are interpreted a few different ways, anoraks in orange and sea foam are modern and fresh while sailor stripes and canvas patches give a nod to Frenchies, and cable-knits never looked so cool for spring. Integrating a funky school days look means suit-like elements with a bit more pizazz.
Horizontally striped sleeves or color blocked with square front pockets on dress shirts compliment serious trousers set off by intensely colored ties, skinny belts, and shoes. Casually dressing up a down style for guys that are fluent in hip. fresh!
