Aztec prints, denims and chinos for a man of style

MANILA, Philippines - Topman salutes patterns, textures and an updated ’90s look. They pop up, daze and delight in the brand’s autumn-winter 2012 collection.           

Aztec and African prints are hogging the limelight, providing an element of surprise and style to anything it is paired with. Case in point — a blue Aztec jumper gives a playful take on a classic button-down shirt, worn with mustard chino pants and a burgundy beanie to top off the ensemble. Likewise, a bold Aztec printed short-sleeve shirt is perfect when worn under a striped denim button-down shirt, classic navy blue chino pants with a burgundy belt. It’s a warm and functional, rugged yet stylish number.

And you can’t survive the season without the ubiquitous denim. Layering is key when dressing up or down. A denim button-down teamed with a checkered long-sleeve shirt, navy blue chino pants and a pair of plimsolls gives off a casual and relaxed look. Wear the roll-up British flag shirt proudly with a denim patch shirt layered with a checked long-sleeved shirt. These pieces are great with a classic navy blue chino pants and a black suede belt.

Embrace your childhood with a long-sleeved shirt emblazoned with a Mickey Mouse print.  Pair it with a comfortable pair of burgundy chino pants and blue plimsolls shoes for a playful, preppy look.

For a more mature and polished look, Topman LTD range gives traditional workwear an unexpected twist. The traditional silhouette is updated through the use of rich colors and combination of non-traditional prints and patterns to give a polished yet styled-up look. 

Be stylishly “geeky” and assume that classic retro vibe in Topman’s geometric printed button-down shirt that goes best with burgundy trousers and brown belt. Pair a polo shirt in unconventional prints with plum trousers and dark leather pointed dress shoes. Other pieces that must be in your closet this season are a burgundy-patterned sweatshirt, printed button-down shirt, navy trousers and lace-up leather shoes.

Make a statement with a brown fleck skinny blazer worn with a polka dot button-down shirt, navy trousers and plum suede shoes or get a more prim and dapper look by donning a heritage blazer, navy trousers and a classic leather shoes. Add a black scarf for a hint of male modishness and sophistication.
