\n\tTommy Hilfiger is getting dressed up for fall \u2014 but in a very Tommy way.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Tommy Hilfiger New York collection, which was introduced last January at Pitti Uomo, is the designer\u2019s more elevated and sophisticated menswear offering. As such, it\u2019s filled with sartorial influences, but with his signature preppy undertones.<\/p>\n
\n\tCase in point, a duffle coat in a dark camel wool serge \u2014 \u201cthe color of the season,\u201d he said \u2014 is made more casual through the addition of elongated pockets and wrist cuffs, while a rich suede shirt jacket in the same shade was shown with a waist-length jacket in a colorful exploded plaid.<\/p>\n
\n\tTommy classics such as the varsity jacket and the rugby shirt were offered in brushed wool and cashmere blends, while overcoats sported glen checks and Donegal patterns. Blazers, chinos and overshirts were made from fine Italian fabrics and paired with technical wool jackets boasting performance features, including thermal regulation, crease recovery and water repellency.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI think there\u2019s the beginning of a trend of men dressing up again,\u201d the designer said during a preview at his New York showroom. \u201cMen who have never worn a suit are now wearing blazers, sport jackets, neckwear, dress shirts. And it\u2019s not only here in the U.S., but it\u2019s all over most cities. We\u2019ve been casual for a very long time, and that\u2019s the core of our business, but adding this layer and making it blend with casual dressing was the objective.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tMission accomplished.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhile the collection offered the requisite blue blazer with gold buttons, gray flannel suits and double-breasted pinstripe models \u00a0\u2014 all of which were worn with pleated, high-waisted pants \u2014 they were dressed down with burgundy turtlenecks instead of traditional dress shirts.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe suit offering included Hilfiger\u2019s favorite \u2014 a camel two-piece with a matching double-breasted topcoat \u2014 as well as a corduroy model that was reminiscent of the one worn by Dustin Hoffman in 1967\u2019s \u201cThe Graduate.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tThere was also a striking shearling aviator jacket as well as leather trucker jackets, cashmere fisherman\u2019s sweaters, a boxy peacoat in the cashmere wool blend and a Western shirt complete with pearl snap buttons with a yoke and flap that would make a cowboy proud.<\/p>\n
\n\tThroughout the line, red, white and blue detailing was evident in striped linings and paneling, and the entire collection sported a new logo: a lion penny crest on a navy background, a woven New York underneath and the Tommy Hilfiger name in white thread, an elevated take for the designer\u2019s next chapter.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThis really is the top of our pyramid \u2014 more elevated, sartorial dressing,\u201d he said. The Tommy Hilfiger New York collection will be sold in the company\u2019s stores, premium department stores and online.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
