Blazer + Pants from Carven: Things I Want

Last weekend as I was checking out the new Fall goods I came across a fantastic blazer/pant combo from Carven. You may remember how excited I was to get a blazer from their Spring collection when I was last in Paris... the line continues to have a great subtle French influence and a nice slim and cropped fit.

The burgundy color of these pieces is the first thing that caught my eye, and I could definitely see myself mixing and matching this color as the season changes. When I tried it on the jacket fit well -- perhaps a little snug for some, but I liked the shorter length and high arm holes. The pants also worked well, and were just short enough that when paired with my Tretorns it had a nice pulled together but casual vibe.

 

I tried it all on at Barney's but you can find out more (and see other Carven for Fall) over at Mr. Porter. 

Trousers from BASCO: Things I Have

Yesterday I needed to make a trip into Barney's... Fall collections have been arriving and I specifically wanted to see Tim Coppens, Thom Grey (Thom Browne's new diffusion line), and BASCO. The last is a re-launch of an in-house label, Barney's Sportwear Company. 

There were some really interesting pieces in the BASCO line and I tried on a few of them... but my standout favorite were these gabardine trousers. I liked the pleated front, the button flap pockets, and the cropped ankle with side buttons.

Picked up the pants and am wearing them today (I couldn't resist). They fit great and are so comfortabe. 100% cotton + made in Italy...  you can check out the rest of the BASCO pieces here!

Pleated Trouser from Gant Rugger: Things I Have

I've had my eye on this pair of trousers from Gant Rugger ever since they released for Fall. But every time I was either in the Rugger store or at Barney's, they were always sold out of my size.

So I was pretty excited this week when I popped into Barney's Beverly Hills and they had them! Grabbed them and ran...

It's a great lightweight trouser, with a mild pleat. Very slim tailoring and I love the fit.

They're available on the Barney's site, go check them out!

Cuffed Trousers from Thom Browne: Things I Have

As part of my shopping spree last weekend I found these cuffed trousers from Thom Browne. I had to try on a few different sizes to find the right one, but once I did... I couldn't say no!

The cut was slim, I liked the flat front, and the extra large cuff was really the selling point. I think these will be a great addition for Spring/Summer days at the office.

Here's more info on them from the Barney's site...
