Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, Lincoln Center

No surprises here---a packed presentation full of well made, separates--- with all-American polish ...
---on clean cut guys with the confident ease being the coolest dudes in the room.
The assorted models, posed on docks---were clearly the best dressed...
The Run-Of-Show stated the inspiration:
"...the Maritime Heritage of the Sleeping Bear Dunes region of Lake Michigan, part of America's Great Lakes region. From the deep blue waters that wash up against high, neutral sand dunes, to the pops of safety orange that honor our Coast Guard."
Staged in color groups we began at the back....the navy/black/charcoal section.
Really, what's not to like...functional fashion at work...in a slim youthful version of what we call an American cut---
---not the skinny hipster Euro profile that dominate some men's collections but fit no one well over a certain age ---thirty or so.
HERE:
Wearable blazers, wool suits, puffers in that bright "Safety Orange" and Navy, cotton turtlenecks, wool dress pants...
Probably why Nautica is really sold all over the world. It fits in everywhere,
The first grouping---in refreshing "Sail White"---in handsome combos of nautical stripes on crew necks, ...and in cotton cargo pants, corduroy pants ...
Up close the details---pockets, triple stitched seams, solid zip hardwares...elevate the brand above the usual mass market assortments.
Nautica accessories too---beanies, hats, shoes...
