ETRO FW 2018: Autumn in the Spirit of Luxurious Elegance
Two looks of ETRO FW 2018: Elegance versus traditional element of India
Creative Director Kean Etro included into the forthcoming collection both models traditionally reminiscent of India, as well as more elegant pieces appropriate for example formal negotiations. The elegant part comprises men´s knitted pullovers, trendy overcoats and luxurious suits in shades of beige, brown, grey, black or the timeless, classic pattern - check. The designer incorporated into the pieces which are breathing bohemian freedom the favourite oriental pattern of paisley.

Paisley - oriental pattern on which the brand built its success
Perhaps every luxury brand has some particularly favourite pattern that keeps reappearing in their collections. In the case of ETRO it is the oriental paisley pattern, which ensured its strong position in the fashion world. Paisley embroidery, most often in the form of delicate floral motifs, was applied by Kean Etro both on garments as well as accessories. The bohemian part of the collection, comprising of colourful coats and jackets, is complemented by trousers of looser cut and wider leg.
Luxurious accessories as an integral part of autumnal wardrobe
For the FW 2018 collection, men's accessories became the alpha and omega. Knitted mufflers as well as lighter scarves, luxury bags and backpacks with paisley pattern or made of leather, massive necklaces, brooches or hats. It seems that at least one of these pieces should be a requisite part of every stylish man´s wardrobe of the forthcoming autumn.
ETRO FW 2018: Men who have style!
Which of the concepts won in your case? For us, the leading style is clearly the elegant one in the form of narrow trouser legs and perfectly fitting suits of subtle patterns and classic colours. An imaginary cherry on the cake in this collection are the leather shoes that resemble a cross between ankle boots and moccasins which Kean Etro paired with coloured socks. The whole makes a harmonious impression being in perfect symbiosis; therefore we cannot say anything other than: ETRO, that´s men who have style!

I am totally taken by the men´s ETRO FW 2018 collection.
It is quite rare to see a collection which was in fact inspired by almost the entire history of men's fashion and at the same time offers absolutely unexpected and totally new fashion creations. Now I cannot think of another word than "WOW"!
So as not to confuse anyone, first I must mention a couple of items which I would mark by a “must have” tag. I would begin with a grey jacket with lamb lining and a perfect cream sweater. Absolute classic, which in my eyes turns any man into a sexy airman like from Top Gun (1986). Then there is the burgundy-blue duo. OMG that burgundy jacket with blue Pegasus on the back? Absolute top stuff! Such a piece will go with everything adding a bit of zest even to the most boring outfit under the sun (which is in my opinion the already legendary model of late Steve Jobs: black polo-neck and jeans).
And anything crazy here? Perhaps besides the necklace of antique spoons around the neck I cannot find any flop at all. Quite simply I enjoy looking around and I will try to force my husband to wear at least some of it!
