Bonobos Fall 2014 Mens Suit Collection




With menswear becoming a more prevalent entity in the realm of fashion and luxury design, I couldn't be more excited for SILK AND MONEY to team up with Bonobos, one of America's most revered brands for accessible and luxurious menswear. 

It was Ryan Gosling's character in Crazy, Stupid Love who made me reaffirm my appreciation for classic tailoring, reminiscent of London's Savile Row and quite bluntly reminded us that wearing the wrong suit size is a man's most crucial style faux pas. Fear not though, Bonobos' Fall Suit Collection embodies everything a man should look for when buying a new suit. 

For the traditionalists, there's the Foundation suit - a Bonobos classic made using their signature Italian wool. With a few little tweaks, this Fall's latest line features new fabrics and a more detailed, sleek interior including an ergonomic hidden pocket to make "grabbing that business card as smooth as your first impression". For a modern twist, try the Foundation in navyAs Bonobos is centered in New York - the coolest city in the world, which is about to get a whole lot cooler with Fall around the corner - add an extra layer of warmth and a touch of sophistication with a vest underneath or a topcoat to rug up.

Although there's nothing wrong with sticking to tradition, it's the range of wool suits and tweed blazers that make this collection exquisite. The Nottingham Blazer is the quintessential item for quirky creatives who want to add a touch of sophistication to business drinks or a meeting with the boss. 

Finally, unless you're royalty or a film star, there are only a handful of occasions for a man to up the ante and don a tuxedo so you might as well exceed expectations and defy the norm. A slim fit tuxedo always looks sleek and luxurious and the standout for me in this collection is The Capstone in Grey Honeycomb 

What I love about Bonobos is that they cater to every kind of man. Whether he's an introvert or an extrovert, a slick professional or a wandering artist - there's something in their collection for every man that is made to fit. 

Here are some exclusive photos from the Bonobos Fall 2014 Mens Suit Collection Lookbook, completely evocative of that crisp Autumnal feel. 







One thing is for sure, this collection's resonance is more than just seasonal.
