Straight From The Runway - The Best Of The Oliver Spencer Fall/Winter 2018 Collection

For this collection designer, Oliver Spencer was clearly inspired by seventies Dandyism. The collection was very nostalgic with hints of modern references thrown in. I adored the sailor caps, luxurious velvet, and tailoring that accentuated and enhanced the man's torso and build. It was enough to make me want to snap up this collection and I am not even a man. I can see myself wearing one of his nipped in velvet blazers layered over a long maxi knit dress, but enough of my fantasizing. and let's get back to his standout designs.

NEUTRALS WITH A TWIST 

If you are into neutrals than this collection is for you. Spencer created a fun spin on classic cuts and tailoring. Neutrals can come off as a tad bit boring but he played with shapes and still kept the designs elegant and classic.

CASUAL MOOD 

If you are into more of a casual or sporty style he also offered a lot of options to choose from. His casual wear was most definitely not an afterthought. He focused just as much on his sportier separates as he did with the tailoring on his suits. 

BROWN TONES, RUST, PLAID, AND TEXTURE 

I am a huge fan of brown and rust tones on men and not just for winter. I just find the shade range very flattering on most skin tones. I also liked how Oliver Spencer incorporated tweed, velvet, and fur in his collection. It wasn't in your face but it was noticeably there and needed to add variation to the looks.
