"FacebookPinterest\n\n1. I always spend the Y-3 show squinting down at the shoes and sneakers. These appear to be something like Yohji Yamamoto's take on Doc Martens. Promising.\n\n 2. Two notes here. First of all, baggy shorts with leggings or leather pants underneath is something we've been seeing on the street and stage from Kanye, A$AP, Theophilus, etc, and now it's all over the runway. Like, every-damn-where. On a lark, I actually tried this last Saturday morning when I was going to buy coffee in my neighborhood. No bullshit. I put a pair of black Uniqlo long underwear under my favorite black Nike Sports Wear shorts. Nobody I walked by threw anything at me or threatened to beat me up, and I was perfectly warm, but I was very relieved not to run into anybody I knew, mostly because I looked like I was kidding or maybe just plain confused. The second note here is that neon is still a thing. I think it's a good thing, especially when worn with a lot of black.\n\n 3. Also from Y-3, a super-simple styling tip: Wear a crewneck sweater or sweatshirt over a dress shirt. With or without a tie. But here's the thing: You gotta stretch out the crewneck a bit so it hangs rather than hugging your shirt collar. I saw this done to great effect at the Todd Snyder show, at Y-3 (above), and on the inimitable Dao-Yi Chow of Public School. More on him later.\n\n4. ... And on the seventh day, god rested, but fashion continued to happen. My Sunday started at the Explorer's Club on 70th St, where the Ovadia twins and J. Press were presenting the second season of their York Street line. I was super into the football-inspired room, mostly because of the tailored sweatpants.\n\n5. The other thing I liked at York Street was Shimon Ovadia's turtleneck. I've been threatening to buy a black turtleneck for like a year now and he reminded me that I gotta get my shit together and find the right one and figure out how I'm going to wear it.\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\n6. Did anyone else notice designers putting elastic cuffs in trousers, khakis, and suit pants? It's definitely kinda kookie but fuck it--I'm into it. At this point I get my pants so tapered at the tailor that I can barely get my feet through the leg opening. So why not add elastic? I'm thinking this evolved from the aforementioned tailored sweatpants movement. This was from Patrik Ervell's show. His elastic is very noticeable. Todd Snyder did it more subtly.\n\n7. This Patrik Ervell midnight shawl-collar tux looked spectacular on the runway. I wonder if the jacket will be cut so short when it hits stores.\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\n8. This quilted sweater, also at Ervell, is so awesome it made me want to take up fencing.\n\n9. Fashion shows are social events, just like everything else in New York. Here's a shaky photo I took at the Patrik Ervell show of Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste and his handsome husband Chad McPhail.\n\n 10. The fashion ninja... Still not dead! In fact, I think there are more of them out there than ever. This one was at Rochambeau. I would say this is a thing I \"noted' more than I \"liked.\"\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\n11. The face of En Noir's look book and first-ever presentation was the awesome-looking Willie Cartier, who we at GQ first met at our Man of the Year party in November in LA. He showed up with Frank Ocean, which is a good way to announce yourself.\n\n12. Another En Noir highlight was this ultra-thin leather hoodie. Sorry for the shitty photo. This show was attended by everyone from A$AP Rocky to Carmelo Anthony to Kanye's creative director Virgil Abloh to GQ's own Jim Moore. And a shitload of other people who I don't know but definitely jostled and got jostled by trying to see the goods. I'm looking forward to getting a better look at this stuff soon. Definitely the most talked-about presentation of the evening.\n\nFacebookPinterestWill-Welch-Editors-Picks-Fall-2013-Dao-Yi-Chow.jpeg\n\n13. The last presentation I hit before running home to catch the Grammys was Public School. Rather than rant and rave about the looks, how bout we do story time? A couple months ago, I was on the subway to work and there was a dude with his back to me who had on designer high-tops, black pants that were fuller in the crotch (if not a full drop-crotch) but tapered at the ankles, a black backpack with some pins and patches on it... I dunno. He just had style without looking all styled-up and overdone, and he looked of-the-moment without looking like he was chasing trends. I remember thinking, That's the best-dressed dude I've seen in New York since last time I ran into Dao-Yi Chow. Then the dude turned around and it was in fact Dao-Yi Chow. Go figure. Public School is his line with Maxwell Osborne. I think it's simultaneously on the bleeding edge and something you can actually wear on the train at ten in the morning without looking like a try hard.
