TAKE THREE/// SWIM TRUNKS

Easy Accessorizing

Printed trunks liven up a vacation wardrobe, and after the beach, throw on a white shirt and go…

Creative director Kris Van Assche’s vision for Dior Homme is thoroughly modern, mixing impeccable tailoring with punk accents. His shows and models – this season the varied quartet of rapper A$AP Rocky, filmmaker and photographer Larry Clark, actor Rod Paradot and model Dylan Roques – play with this dichotomy of classic French style and subversive culture. While the runway clothing might be too out there for some buttoned-up gentlemen, the textured bags and luxe sneakers are travel-ready and an easy way to pull together any outfit. The white perforated calfskin sneakers can be worn with the loose tailoring opposite, or with shorts for a relaxed summer look. The tennis striped canvas backpack and briefcase pull double duty on the office commute as well as traveling the world.
