Silk Is This Season's Strongest Look

Burned into our collective memory as the apparel of choice for gangsters like Tony Montana, playboys like Hugh Hefner, and the greatest dolt in fashion history, Derek Zoolander, silky menswear has been parodied into a pulp. But now's the time for men to embrace their indulgent side, and there's nothing richer, more louche, and more perfect for the wild world of style we live in today than silk. And though it seems delicate, it's actually one of the strongest, most breathable natural fabrics on the planet. Meaning no amount of partying will ever be too much or too hard for your favorite new silk. We advocate the don't-overthink-it approach when it comes to wearing it. Go with sharp-creased slacks and loafers, a trim-fitting camp shirt with faded jeans, or a breezy pair of above-the-knee shorts. If you look like you could be part of Bruno Mars's “24K Magic” dance crew, you're doing it right.
