Let's be clear, this is not your father's suit. Designers have taken
blasé workwear to a bold new place this season, turning to
pastel shades and striking patterns for inspiration. Stars such as
Rami Malek, John Legend and Jared Leto have been known to
rock a colorful ensemble or two on the red carpet—but don't let
the starpower of this experimental trend intimidate you. For a
more subtle transition, think colors like olive, sage or a non-
navy blue. For those who like to live
out loud, jump right into world of
blush tones, violet and lavender.
For lovers of khaki and cargo, listen up.
Functionality is everything when it comes
to fashion in the 21st century. From the
invention of waterproof fabrics to reflective
accents, exposed zippers and a plethora of pockets, there's no telling the limits
of the utilitarian trend. e luxe-tactical aesthetic applies to armor-like vests,
combat boots, roomy jumpsuits and extends to the infamous "harness," as seen
on Timothée Chalamet and Michael B. Jordan. To wear it, look for military-
esque garments that take on earthy color palettes and oversized silhouettes.
