Don't miss the boat

The crew has a new shipmate. From the runways all the way to American Apparel, menswear is embracing a new neckline. The boatneck is more fun than the usual crew, and a way to take the plunge while leaving the V behind.
Designers from Bottega Veneta to Marni to Maison Martin Margiela have shown looks with the with the relaxed neckline.
Layer it up or wear it on its own as a sure way to get cruised.

Short story

New York fashion week is well underway and it looks like one menswear trend is emerging on the runways; short sleeves. Now I'm not talking about t's and oxfords, I'm talking about jackets and cardigans. This week designers such as Thom Browne and ADAM have shown us a cool way to dress up next spring.
We've watched jackets and trousers head north over the past several seasons. No doubt, sleeves were the next part of a suit to make the cut.
Or perhaps this is just an conservative solution to global warming.
