Mixed Emotions ft. Rick Owens
When hunting for leather jackets, one brand that pops up is Rick Owens. But will their shirts make into our wardrobe? Let’s find out!
Like the man said, “Fashion can be cruel. Style is a gift to others.” Rick Owens, an American fashion house founded by Richard Saturnino Owens is world-renowned for groundbreaking designs. This famous brand is more recognized for its supreme quality and exceptional designer leather jackets. Even if it is a darkly glamorous world around Rick Owens, they surely haven’t failed to impress with apparel. For this month we have brought to you one of their pieces that even fashion connoisseur like us cryptic for a while. From their Spring/Summer 2022 Fogachine collection, we have the Larry Shirt in Cocoon Crepe & Silk Blend Crepe.
This shirt comes with a deep v-neck with four functional visible snap closures. With hip-length and long sleeves, it also comes with snap cuffs. When you first look at the shirt, there will be a mix of emotions. With the deep V neck and snap closures, it isn’t entirely formal and you wouldn’t wear it to a business meeting. Nonetheless, with the world of fashion changing every minute, we believe the bare-chested, deep neck on men is outdated until you’re Timothée Chalamet.
Rick Owens known for not playing safe, made this shirt in a natural color, which came as a shock. Speaking of its composition, it is made with 62% Acetate and 38% Silk. Even though there haven’t been many complaints about the color or the fabric, their labels can sometimes misguide. Their shirts would have a washable label but would somehow dull the shine of the shirt in just three-four washes.
When you first look at the shirt, there will be a mix of emotions. With the deep V neck and snap closures, it isn’t entirely formal.
If you have a look closely, it features two fogcatcher breast pockets with visible snaps on either side of the chest, that look a little awkward. If it were placed on one side, it would have brought a chicer look. Moving on one thing that really impressed us was the lightweight quality of the shirt, perfect for the weather right now driving us crazy. To sum up, even though it depends on your personal style we believe this can be a pick for a brunch with friends or family but when it comes to professional wear or even on a date night, this shirt by Rick Owens is a no-no!
From the April 2022 issue of FHM India.
