HOME BREAK
*with Christian Frascaro + Francesco Crisitiano
written CHIDOZIE OBASI
The longing for timelessness has been a forerunner in fashion’s stakes in recent years, making its presence felt across the sartorial spectrum: from the designer runways to the rails of high-street favourites, its wear-anywhere appeal has sparked the yearn of many.
Of course, this concept is by no means a modern phenomenon, and its history stretches back to the centuries of creativity of fuss-free apparel within the menswear arena, that have managed to retain that sense of ageless elegance right up to the present day: thanks to the wealth of options that span across tailored constructions to their structured credentials, clothes that last are an investment to a man’s wardrobe. But the question is: how do we make these classics feel directional in 2025? Brace yourselves.
As modeled ever brilliantly by Francesco Cristiano and Christian Frascaro, these versatile silhouettes come in everything from Prada’s skin-tight separates to swishy Brioni’s outerwear to structured canvas from Celine and cotton checks from Isabel Marant. Acting as a solid foundation for an everyday outfit – especially during the winter months – the right staple can truly smarten up any outfit, or add a touch of nonchalance to a formal essential. Below, LE MILE’s edit has you covered. You’re welcome.
