Here's what I said when the lookbook came out: Todd Snyder FW23 very good. Sometimes a good lookbook is just that: a good lookbook. But Todd's latest collection isn't just about beautiful style: it's pieces with details that are just so strong. The first version is available now, so I've picked out some of my favorite pieces and features that highlight what I love most about the collection.
I'm going to try to get some silly pieces. But I'll start with what makes me the happiest...
Shirts with Long Point Collars
Hamilton Todd Snyder Long Point Collar Shirt in Stone
You don't have to wear a shirt... it's bad. For a moment. Most clothing manufacturers make shirts with short plain collars. Most MTM brands do not offer a length option. Several companies have recently made longer fur collars, but long collars have a unique design. This collar works best with a tie and squat, and best with a blazer (or sweater, as you'll see). Todd Snyder and Hamilton make it very difficult. Hamilton is an unlimited t-shirt maker. At $300, it's out of place, and we only have three colors so far (white, brown, and olive), but I'm inclined to see this as the end of the offset collar and a big win on the way to the trash. The revival is seen in fitting clothes.
The collar looks a little structured/stiff, but it seems to work - it helps the collar stay under lapels or sweaters for a flatter look . . as expected, and
There are also some really cool collars in the lookbook for some knitwear, but it looks like we'll have to wait a while to get them.
Alpaca Cardigans
This alpaca sweater also has an open collar. I love the sides and the invisible pockets... and the fact that you usually have pockets, sweaters should have them, pockets are great.
It's a synthetic blend. It's not the end of the world, it's a $300 structured alpaca sweater. Shaggy helps you find the texture, fit and lace you want. Try it and see if you like it. And if you want cleaner knitwear, there's always...
Good Turtlenecks
Cashmere Turtleneck in Bisque
Todd Snyder has a turtle. They are of course beautiful and 100% cashmere. But... Inis Meáin was also taken out. So... Get the Inis Meáin Boat Builder Fishing Jacket in Nature. This is an authentic item from one of the Aran Islands; Nothing beats knitting.
Corduroy Tailoring
Sutton by Todd Snyder in Rust and Madison in Spruce
I'm a Todd fan. Madison's cut: the proportions are right, the lapels are really wide and suit me, I can't stand the fact that it can be comfortably combined with knitwear. Everything I want in a fall jacket.
But most of all, I love corduroy. It's a soft, warm, loose material, exactly what I'm looking for in a corduroy. Also, it's a 2% spandex blend, but since the corduroy is loose anyway... the stretch definitely helps keep the corduroy from falling out of shape, it's a little paradoxical, but the math is right, I promise.
If you're looking for a nice blazer or simple corduroy suit, I recommend the Madison Spruce jacket (and pants). But look at all the options, there are some interesting options.
The Coats!
Tartan alpaca wool jacket and blue-green Casentino double-breasted suit.
There will always be more wool, but this Scottish Glen alpaca wool is beautiful with a unique texture. And the blue-green double-breasted Casentino fur coat is also unique and superstitious. Casentino is a special brushed fleece that can have a wool-like texture, but unlike polyfleece, it's not an environmental nightmare and...well, it offers all the benefits of wool. You should complete this part yourself if the probability is too high.
And this Corduroy Chore Coat
Finally, a unique creation: this layered Corduroy Watercolor Flower fabric deserves the attention it deserves.
Wear it to museums, art galleries or...wherever. elegant space. like in this picture. Or wear it with jeans on Tuesdays. Easy to wear work jacket.
And this Argyle Mohair Polo
Todd Snyder's Argyle Mohair Polo in Olive
Fun mohair sweaters are nothing new, but Todd Snyder decided to play with four different styles this season. I really like the reliability chart for this diamond band. Mohair sweaters are always made from a blend (46% mohair is really a lot), so enjoy the texture and look. And in the middle of the season, it is usually heavier, but it is better to layer it for a while.
Todd's Just Good
Hair loss is becoming more and more relevant. This flannel is durable. A new visionary reality of chocolate in chamois (they now make corduroy trucks too)... And the range of brands is stronger than ever: Inis de Meáin knitwear, Hamilton shirts, vermeil jewellery. Miansai, King Kennedy and Rubinacci shoes...
And that's just a small sample of what's coming to men's fashion. Bigger collars, bigger fabrics, less meticulous tailoring and hopefully more experimentation with previously boring brands.
