Thanks to this past fashion week, I have a new appreciation for menswear. I’m sure Corey’s taste and insight helped spark my interest, but recently my infatuation has led to me scoping out menswear in my free time (well, looking at male models is a perk too!) and one of designer that can’t go without mention is Lou Dalton. Starting her career in tailoring and pattern cutting, it is no wonder why Dalton’s basic menswear pieces seem to fit so well. Considered “rebellious English sportswear,” Dalton’s classics are the perfect stab at preppy conformity with her tight fits, destructed pieces and obnoxious cable knits. Keep your eyes peeled for a Topshop diffusion line, because it’s on its way!

I love the big bows, the neck pieces, and obviously the hats can’t be ignored. This collection is really great, and it doesn’t see as impractical as one would think. I would have no problem at least attempting to wear this out to an event some night. Might have to DIY myself an outfit like this.
