Men’s Fashion - Balenciaga Spring 2013
Couture inspired structured cocoon outerwear and tops paired with casual trousers and hybrid sneakers to suggest an urbane ease made for another winning proposition from the team behind Valentino.

From Balenciaga came an outing full of smart options that were both somber and vivid while being thoroughly .
Men’s Fashion - Prada Spring 2013
There were the vintage elements -an identifiable and beloved signature, the sporty appeal of uniform dressing, a steady hand at using off-colors against each other and a play on the surreal with contrasting paneled pants that distort the leg in movement.

How To Dress Your Age: 20s
There’s a boatload of age-appropriate advice out there for 40-somethings with backward baseball caps and a closet full of seizure-inducing striped shirts. Sure, you can tell those guys to stop taking their style cues from the house dads of Orange County (and don’t worry, we will), but what about the baby-faced coeds, recent grads and corporate climbers?
Turns out, the 20s are filled with their own fair share of decadal difficulties. The problem here, however, arises from a feeble attempt to look more mature (ironically, the exact opposite of the ill-fated quest for eternal youth that comes later in life) and simply not knowing any better. That’s why we’ve developed some rules and regulations for these all-important formative years. Here’s guide on how to dress your age: the 20s.
The guide: 20s
Experiment
You did it in biology lab and hopefully you’re no stranger to it in the bedroom. The same trial-and-error approach should apply to clothing. Most men in their 20s still have no idea who they are as a person let alone how to dress, so feel free to test the waters with fashion trends. You’ll win some and lose some, but always remember to maintain an open mind. This may be the only chance you’ll ever have in life to push your luck -- and get away with it.
Lose the logos
The next tip on how to dress your age is to pull the plug on the Abercrombie & Fitch festival from high school. Mike’s Bikes? Tomahawk Track & Field? By now, your clothing shouldn’t advertise anything but your impeccable sense of personal style. Graduate to plain tees, polos and fitted button-downs -- and quit the kid’s stuff.
Back to basics
Start from scratch and invest in a few core pieces like a tailored blazer, jeans and dress shirts that aren’t shapeless sacks. They’ll fast become your everyday go-to tools for sartorial success and stick around for years to come.
Find the perfect fit
Drop all the dough you want on clothing. If it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t matter. And chances are your entire wardrobe, from suits and dress shirts to tees and shorts, is in desperate need of a diet. Gone are the days when it was customary and, dare we say, even cool to sport a silhouette large enough for three of you. You’re in your 20s -- you’re growing up. So, make sure that the shoulder seams actually hit you at the shoulder, the torso is trim but not tight and the rear doesn’t look like it’s ready to make a special delivery.
