MRket Las Vegas – People & Products

Earlier today we started our MRket coverage with a number of people/outfit shots. To mix it up a little bit, I’d like to add some product pictures of interesting & upcoming spring / summer 2013 garments, shoes & accessories.

Colorful Summer Suits in Granny Smith Green, Pink & Teal

Suits are getting more and more colorful…

Alternative Hat from Head’n Home Hats

The hats from Head’n Home are inspired by steampunk.

Kevin Willis – 22 year NBA Veteran & Designer

Kevin Willis – a designer at Willis & Walker – was a NBA player for 22 years. Before his athletic career, he got a degree in textiles and now he made it his mission to provide tall guys with dapper clothes. He measures 7′ himself, and so he perfectly understands the issues tall guys face when it comes to suits.

Thomas Dean Suede Shoes with Red Rubber Soles

Suede shoes with rubber soles by Thomas Dean were offered in multiple colors, such as purple or yellow. Generally, there seems to be a trend for suede or textured leather shoes in bright colors.

Suede Two Tone Boat Boots

Suede Shoes with Multicolor Sole

Summer Pants by 34 Heritage

Red Linen Sportscoat with Contrast Collar Lining

Red sportscoats are underrated in my opinion, especially when they are mottled like this example. Paired with royal blue pants, white flannel slacks or even seersucker trousers, red sportscoats will always look appropriate without being generic at all.

John Cooper Sportscoat in Plaid & Blue

Also, plaid jackets in vibrant colors are definitely a trend. Fortunately, plaids have always been an important staple in casual menswear and as such, it would be a great investment that can be enjoyed for many summers to come.

Sportscoat Tailored from Oxford Cloth

Relaxed Summer Look

Another trend is lightweight, deconstructed jackets without any glue or canvas. They wear like a shirt or a soft sweater, unlike like a heavy Savile Row suit from the 1950′s, and are made for the casual man who cares about his look.

Alternative Hairstyle

Engraved Shwood Sunglasses that Match the Tatoo

These sunglasses from Shwood were engraved with the same initials of its wearer’s tattoo. Now, that is personalization in a permanent form.

Contrasting Cuff Buttons

Contrasting cuff buttons on washed cotton jackets are definitely something we will see more often in the future.

Patchwork Shorts

For the more eccentric guy, patchwork shorts may be the way to gain some attention.

Skull & Bone Shirt

Cell Phone Pics

I like to catch people in natural poses, as they reveal how clothing really looks to an observer. When using a smart phone, people are focused and forget about their style. Most of the time, these poses look much better because they are unforced.

The Young Double Breasted Blazer

This young chap shows how casual navy, double breasted coats can look.

Embroidered Collar & Lapels

Orange & Green Buttonholes, and Embroidered Pants

Obviously, this suit was custom-made as it has green and orange buttonholes as well as embroidered logos. Personally, this reminds me more of suits that sponsored head coaches would wear, not stylish gentlemen, but each to his own.

Wristbands Revealed

Wristbands remain very popular, especially worn in quantity.

So, once again, there proves to be a wide variety of interesting trends and outfits at MRket!
