Wes Anderson Remains a Suiting Legend

It should be harder than ever to justify uniform dressing in 2019. Dress codes have shattered. Shopping is fun, and men are realizing they're allowed to enjoy it. Hell, menswear is sexy now! So why would you ever restrict yourself to wearing the same thing every day? Wes Anderson hears your argument. If anyone gets it, it's Wes Anderson, whose movies are among the most interestingly costumed in recent cinematic history. The guy recognizes the power of personal style. But he also recognizes the power of the suit.

Wes is always wearing a suit. And his attendance at Prada's Spring/Summer 2020 womenswear show in Milan was the latest piece of evidence in favor of his argument. Anderson has a long-running relationship with Prada: he directed a film for the company in 2013, and helped design Bar Luce, the bar at the Milan fashion house's Fondazione Prada. The bar is a useful reference point here: it's done up in shades of mint and pistachio and Pepto-Bismol. Which, conveniently, are the mellow tones Anderson wore to last night's show. Suits can be fun; that can even look a little bit ice-cream inspired. Just ask Wes Anderson.
