Men sparkle too

Brighten up the darkness of long winter nights: this is the mission designers have assigned to men this year! Crystals, metallic inserts, rhinestones, and sequins are the tools at their disposal, but beware: less is more. A touch of sparkle is indispensable on evening jacket lapels: sequins on Balmain’s velvet creations, black crystals for Dolce & Gabbana, and sequins and crystals on Dsquared2’s peaked lapels. Balmain’s shirt shines like a night sky with rhinestone stars, while Dries Van Noten nods at the more exuberant: the brand’s viscose georgette shirt is entirely covered in silver sequins, unforgettable and theatrical, especially when paired with shorts made of the same dazzling fabric.
