Engineered Garments

Here’s a crazy idea: What if everything just worked? What if all the so-close-but-not-quites of modern life evaporated and the cuff of your pants hit perfectly above your sneaker, and the chest rig vest fit snuggly under or over that corduroy blazer? Wouldn’t that make life easier? That is the general principle of Engineered Garments, a brand that takes its commitment to function so seriously, it’s literally in the name. With workwear on the rise, and on the backs of everyone from Daniel Day-Lewis to Brooklyn Beckham, the moment is right for Engineered Garments.

What sets designer Daiki Suzuki’s vision of supreme functionality apart from more mass makers of painter pants and button-downs is his artistry and devotion to materials. This season, Suzuki drew from the New Romantics, cutting a loose silhouette in velvet, wide-weft corduroy, and rich brocades alongside the more standard-fare cottons and a custom double-face dull satin inspired by army fatigues. A jacket comes with a button detail pulled from Tyrolean coats, while another outerwear piece is a supersize take on medical gowns. It’s all just peculiar enough to stand out but just normal enough to qualify as everyday wear—and it all fits together like a garmento’s jigsaw puzzle. Trends would point to Engineered Garments as a must for this season, with leopard spots and patchwork trousers, but the simple suiting and sloped-shoulder bombers are worthy of mention, too. Put simply, they just work.

#1. Full Coverage
One of the top fall 2018 fashion trends you notice on the multitude of runway shows over the span of each Fashion Week is the maxi lengths on models showing off nearly no skin. Most designers have opted for lengths past the calves, generally swishing below the ankle, many falling to the floor.

It is a long and lean look that has us really wanting to grab a Valentino crisp white dress suit, complete with a scarf around the neck that falls to bellow one’s knees. The colors that go with the long looks are spectacular, the lean working best with a bright white deal.

Matrix coats, leather dresses, long billowing organza in floral prints; nearly every trend was all about coverage, while each designer also tried to showcase the opposite, going for shirt skirts, tall boots, and even a few plunging necks. Modest and monastic is how fall 2018 is being described though, which means that you certainly do not need to be showing any skin at all if you prefer not to.

#2. Big Is Still In

There was a time for skimpy, but the fall/ winter 2018 runway trends are steering clear of that on. On the contrary, we are going for oversized everything once again this year, despite it already having dominated the catwalk for a few years now. Eye-catching colors and multiple layers make for looks that really stand out from the crowd, drowning you in the sheer size and lack of definition around your curves, even more so with the oversized coats.
We also have oversized handbags for fall 2018, such as the matching laundry basket style seen at Marni. Even the scarves are oversized to match with ankle-length broad shouldered overcoats as per Marc Jacobs. Though some of the Maison Margiela pieces remind us of tents with a human hidden inside.

#3. Savile Row Style Men’s Overcoats

Get ready for classic Savile Row fabrics on men’s style overcoats as part of your fall 2018 fashion trends wardrobe. Large shoulders, boxy coupe, and lots of length make for some intriguing coats to pull over your lovely dresses come the cooler months once again.

It has swagger, it is lit, and it is rocking the style reports across the board. You can pair with a shiny black number that shows off lots of leg and cleavage as per Saint Laurent, with bulky boots as per Prada, with flowy skirts and futuristic gloves as per Calvin Klein, or over colorful leather as we saw at the Stella McCartney runway show.

Lapels on the overcoats also look quite darling as seen at Fendi or given some waist definition with a leather belt as per Givenchy.
