Okay Maverick, if you’ve been waiting since the 80s to get back into your jumpsuits, spring/summer 2015 menswear has some good news for you. There are plenty of examples to indicate a rising trend for jumpsuits for men this season. In fact, exactly a year ago today, GQ said jumpsuits were coming back but only now are we seeing it on the runway as well as off. I’ve seen it a few times on while scrolling through Pinterest and figured it was solely for die-hard but the evidence is clear… we have a rising trend on our hands. Is it for the love of minimalism or perhaps men want the ease women get to enjoy with a dress?
Men have been increasingly daring when it comes to the one-piece, if you consider that onesies are still a thing and more and more people are experimenting with dungarees. Dickies makes classic worker-wear overalls and dungarees for middle-America, but these are not the kind appearing on the streets of Milan during fashion week. If you want to get this look right, think of it as separates by accessorizing as you see fit. Exposed chests seem to be working for Roberto Cavalli, but rolled up, bagged or draped are all options, as seen below.
There are a few variations to choose from, such as 3.1 Phillip Lim and his work-wear approach to Versace (above) who have gone for a more formal, if not glammy aesthetic. Which, if any, of the jumpsuits for spring/summer 2015 do you fancy? More importantly, would you even consider this as a viable trend for 2015?
