Dressing My Dream Man in Bode Fall 2019 Menswear

An article about menswear? On this website? No, that can’t be right. If you thought any of those things, then I don’t blame you. Menswear has never interested me in any serious capacity because it has never had the same pull on me as women’s fashion. Because of the strict societal expectations on masculinity and how men should express it, men’s fashion options are limited, and there isn’t as much room for the whimsy and fantastical details that I’m usually drawn to. Because of this, I become particularly fond of any menswear collection that strays from the mold, which Bode manages to do in their latest collection for Fall 2019.

Emily Bode projects her unique vision into Bode, a menswear line that started with her creating one-of-a-kind pieces from antique fabrics. Her knack for telling stories through clothing comes through in all of the darling details that make this menswear collection stand out, like the plaid suit with houses printed on it, or the clear, plastic coat showcasing somebody’s penny collection.

There were so many unexpected, little details added to each piece, it creates a sort of magic that makes this collection irresistible by creating that eclectic, thrift-chic look I’m obsessed with. All of those endearing details along with the vibrant and cozy knits paired with vintage-looking suits, and plenty of fun color sealed the deal for me. And while I’m not the intended audience for these clothes, I would gladly dress my boyfriend in them because your dream man should wear clothes that you can borrow every once and a while, and only maybe give back, am I right?

Check out a few of my favorite looks from the collection below:

      I know, basic men’s clothing can be boring sometimes! I always love to see interesting colors, patterns and silhouettes.
