So what is asymmetrical? Its when something, anything, is not equal on both sides. Its also the hotest aesthetic of fashion right now!
Now I’m not really sure where or how this style originated, but my first sightings of this cut was featured on Maison Martin Margiela’s f/w 08 with very light accentuations in a variety of their double breasted coats. By Spring 09 Diesel(who owns the Margiela label) began capitalizing the look on their black gold label and before you know it, every one and their mother began making these irregular zip and button coats.
Now I’m pretty sure this is one of those aesthetics that may have been around for a while but non the less its becoming incredible annoying! I understand the rough appeal that some styles may gain with wide lapels and asymmetrical zippers, but it seems like some just pushing it to the extreme. Here are some examples:
Do’s
Alexander McQueen - edgy and simple, it gives the wearer a snug fit and definition throughout the upper body
Don’ts
Juicy Couture Men - Way too much leather wasted. The button are over kill!
So there you have it…it is a good style to feed the inner badboy but just make sure you choose wisely when picking out that coat or jacket! I won't judge you i promise!
