FASHION & GROOMING

His menswear winter 2013 collection had all the items a well-turned-out gentlemen needs, and yet was as comfortable as a pair of jeans and a sweat shirt.

The secret lies in the materials: knitted wool and stretch fabric. The ample cut of the clothes does the rest.

An iconic double-breasted coat - the number one item on a man's shopping list for next winter - comes in knitted wool. A gray business suit is crafted in super soft stretch fabric and has a short deconstructed jacket and pants with extra wide darts. A velvet Tuxedo jacket is worn with a simple silk T-shirt.

On the other side of the coin, Armani takes top-drawer pieces and transfers them into casual wear worthy of fancy dress.

The vest from a three-piece suit gets a zipper and is knitted in Nordic patterns. The same zippered vest returns for eveningwear, this time in monochromatic stretch fabric. A zipper replaces buttons on a silk shirt.

Armani drew inspiration for his winter palette from Alpine scenery: boulder gray, bright sky blue, and Dolomite red, the color of the mountains surrounding Cortina d'Ampezzo, one of Italy's most exclusive ski resorts.
