Men’s Fashion

The Max ‘n Chester Fall Winter 2017 collection tells a sophisticated, compelling story based on the brand’s four pillars of fabric, design, silhouette, and comfort. This season reflects music’s influence on fashion through the decades, specifically the punk and grunge periods. Oversized sweaters and a palette of blacks and charcoals are a direct nod to that influence. Ultimately, the line reflects designer and founder Peter Trainor’s personal aesthetic. “What I wear is what I design. It’s the fabric that inspires me more than anything,” says Trainor. Incorporating bold new patterns and fabrications as well as introducing outerwear and sweater options for the first time, the designer says of the collection, “Anyone can look good in a suit, but fashion is about how you articulate yourself with the wardrobe that you have, and this collection gives the wearer the ability to do that.” The fall winter collection explores new silhouettes for both men and women, all working to achieve an effortless, elegant aesthetic for the confident wearer striving for individuality.

The men’s collection is the most vivacious yet, incorporating a lovely green color story with dark hunter greens, olives, and camels which prove to be a bright compliment to the blacks, charcoals, and navys that Max ‘n Chester notoriously utilizes in their fall winter collections. Pops of brown and burgundy also make surprise appearances as well as eye catching polka dot and striped suits. Buttery corduroy and faded camouflage come together in a military inspired jacket and an adventurous aztec-printed set give the men’s line a fresh look. Never before seen waist coats, painters shirts, and hunter jackets are strong additions to the classic blazers and pants that have become the brand’s trademark. Max ‘n Chester is known for using only the best Japanese sourced materials and this season they introduce mohair, moleskin, two-sided jersey, and wool bouqlet which are no exception to the rule. The collection is all about texture and layering, shirts have uneven hemlines and oversized sweaters are meant to be worn over blazers for a look unique to the brand. The fall winter 2017 men’s collection is the largest and strongest compilation yet from Max ‘n Chester.
