There’s a lot of oversized, monastically simple grey coats, skinny trousers and buttoned-up shirts going round London at the moment. It’s a nice, subtle outfit and one that’s easy to do, difficult to master. The upgrades come in how you accessorise.
One guy around Oxford Street today had used a striking pair of gloves to add on- a pair of grey knitted, underneath tan leather fingerless driving gloves. They grey fingers show through the tan leather, creating an unexpectedly boxer-ish effect that gave a toughness to the ensemble.
Raf Simons dropped this idea with his Autumn/Winter ’09 gloves, an astonishing double pair of full and fingerless gloves that fitted into each other to create a colour-blocked, glorious effect. They sold out pretty much instantly, but who knew it was so easy (and so effective) to get the look? Fingerless leather gloves have suddenly risen right to the top of my wishlist.
