Tomas Maier is all for real clothes for real men, but who said guys can’t have some fun, too? The designer decided men “need more excitement," which he delivered via new shapes, sanguine colors and bold prints. If anyone can design tie-dye pinstripe jackets, pink sweaters or a red suit in a maple leaf motif - and make it appeal to the regular guy - Maier can. “We wanted to offer clothes that are particularly individualistic. Changing the shape of the pants and breaking the silhouette with color add an energy, even a brashness, that feels invigorating,” Maier said of his show at Bottega's new headquarters on Via Privata E. Marelli. Neapolitan-tailored jackets were paired with crisp linen trousers that tapered into a narrow cuff, some cinched with an elastic to better show off glossy loafers. While there were strong-shouldered suits, and even a few double-breasted tuxedo jackets, a luxurious beachcomber look prevailed, with degradé sweaters, sumptuous leather bombers and feather-light safari coats in military green among standout looks in a bold and beautiful collection.
