Feeling the cold? Dress like a lumberjack
2014年10月23日Like most trends, this one can be traced back to model, muse and accidental fashion forecaster Alexa Chung. We’re calling it lumberjack chic – think flannel shirts, checked coats, proper hiking boots and furry trapper hats. The faux-hobo crux of it is Tommy Hilfiger’s red plaid coat, as seen on Chung, currently the face of Hilfiger’s autumn/winter campaign.
If it sounds like a flash-in-the-pan trend, bear with: Matches’s autumn/winter collections are awash with plaidy, checky, lumberjack-inspired stuff from Isabel Marant, Preen Line, Sea NY and MSGM. The Burberry plaid cape and Aries plaid coat have both sold out, suggesting even we are a little late to this, which is frankly a bit embarrassing.
It was once the preserve of men such as Jared Leto, who has been doing his new-wave lumberjack thing (long hair, Aztec prints) since the Oscars, or Martin Freeman, getting cold and murderous in Fargo. The latest in a line of menswear-adopted-by-womenswear, it has become a staple for autumn, suggesting unisex fashion is finding new ways to plough on.
If you’re not familiar with the work of Chung, then look to Twin Peaks for inspiration. It is due back in 2016 and, post-announcement, has bolstered a Pete Martell-ish aesthetic revival in Pacific Northwest outdoors vibes. Here are five ways in which this winter trend has manifested itself on the high street. About time too. We’re cold.
The great thing about this trend is that, like denim, it’s totally fine to max it up by going double or triple. Wearing a plaid shirt? Why stop there when you can wear a plaid jacket? Unlike denim, there is plenty of scope for mixing and matching prints. We suggest starting with a large windowpane check on your coat – like Alexa’s or the Aries one. Lady-ish but warm, should you feel the desire to hunt or forage or something.
An obvious jumping-off point, sure, but checked flannel shirts are definitely A Thing this season. From gothy checks at Saint Laurent and blue and red ones at Marc by Marc Jacobs to luxe flannels at Aries (a newish label sold at Matches, which uses artisan processes to create 1990s-inspired pieces), provided you choose something with red as a base, you’re fine. Preen has given a little feminine twist to things, doing a good line in fine-knit red/black checked jumpers.
Not for the first time, massive boots are becoming a bit of a fixture. Camper does an excellent line in thick rubber-soled lace-up hiking boots. With this wind, we’re also looking to Sorel, Coach (above), Timberland and Tommy Hilfiger which have all brought out more serious boots – lined, waterproof, proper eyelets – that laugh in the face of adverse weather conditions, and for which you don’t need three pairs of socks.
Fashion loves anything with a luxe fur trim, so it figures that fashion also loves a trapper hat. Topshop does a couple of great faux-fur ones that aren’t terribly warm, but will keep the wind out. J Crew has a nice low-key version lined with shearling and Masterpeace has gone off the banter scale with their statement sheepskin military hat, based on a Russian design, complete with military badge and strong Zhivago vibe.
