ACNE

Acne is one of those brands that you are supposed to like regardless of what it looks like. Just because they’re all Nordic and use nice colours doesn’t necessarily mean that you should go out and buy the whole collection. Or even rate it. That said that though there is definitely some truth in the way that almost everything that they touch is excellent. Allow me to explain:

Acne Red Suit: look number one is cool. I’m not about to ever be wearing a red suit to anything any time soon but as far as red suits go then this one is pretty rad. If you are going to wear a red suit then it’s probably going to be about single button blazers and cropped trousers.

Acne stupid flare denim trousers: the middle guy though has to have thought “FUCK YEAH I got cast by Acne” and probably got a hard on for the potential free samples he was going to lay his hands on. Then he sees those trousers and he’s like “Nahhhhh c’mon man” and tweeted #disappointment. The top half is pretty good because the shirt has a bold print but doesn’t lose the subtlety and there might be a scarf under the blazer. That the blazer closes so high up the neck is really cool. You know, kind of hints at the shirt you’d wear with it but gives nothing away.

Acne natty sharpness: the third guy looks, in my own honest opinion, like he’s going somewhere important in a fast car with some incredibly attractive persons of the gender which you prefer. The car is probably Italian. The best bit about this guy though is that the pocket square has almost fallen out of the pocket and he just doesn’t give a fuck. I like to imagine that he works in an accountancy firm and he’s the very dapper rebel that just looks for ways to piss off his manager. Flopping out the pochette is probably his middle finger salute.

SF.
