Rough and tough
Boss Black's latest collection is all about urban glamour; a modern interpretation of classic American styles from the 1940s and 50s. The understated palette of browns and beiges extends to accessories, including a rugged brown suede duffle bag (above right; HK$11,250) with handy side pockets and strap details that make it ideal for work and play. For something more sophisticated, try the calf-leather grey tote (right; HK$10,700). The collection is available at Hugo Boss, IFC Mall, Central, tel: 3188 1171.
Soft core
Dior Homme's autumn/winter collection features looks that fit in with the season's military trend, albeit in a style that is more edgy and hip. Traditional military garments such as the trench and pea coats are reinterpreted with a softer look and without lining. Standouts include the loose trench coat with trim (HK$44,000) worn over the two-button asymmetric jacket with scarf collar (HK$23,000) and slouchy trousers (all left; HK$4,800). Dior Homme is in The Landmark, Central, tel: 2162 8008.
Step up
If you're looking for shoes that speak volumes, take a look at Prada's latest collection, which features classics injected with a young, fresh spirit. Ankle boots (above; HK$6,750) and moccasins come in contrasting colours and with larger-than-life tassels for a quirky look. For the evening, try the loafers with a detachable brass spur (top; HK$5,950). Prada is in Alexandra House, Central, tel: 2522 2989.
