Military Style from Cargo Pants to Outerwear: the Trend of the Moment is Utility
It's called the "utility trend," but in simple terms, it's the return of the military trend that is filling the runways and streets around the world. We've all noticed it while buying yet another pair of cargo pants we absolutely didn't need.
But what does military-chic fashion mean, of which military print is the undisputed queen? Military-chic fashion is an aesthetic inspired by military clothing, but with a twist of style and elegance that takes elements from military garments like military prints, cargo pockets, and zip closures, and reinterprets them in an original and fashionable way, making them suitable for everyday life and urban fashion. This trend also has a strong appeal to an outdoor and adventurous lifestyle characterized by practicality, versatility, and resilience.
Among the key pieces of this trend are certainly cargo pants and chino pants, both characterized by their practicality and robust and versatile style. Specifically, cargo pants feature side pockets, ideal for storing small items, while chino pants are more elegant but still have a loose and comfortable fit. In addition to pants, the military-chic trend is also expressed in other clothing items, such as men's polo shirts and jackets for a casual yet polished look.
But what makes military-urban style so fascinating? It's definitely the evocation of a world of adventures and challenges, resilience and determination since this style draws its origin from the uniforms of armed forces and military organizations, which were designed to withstand the most extreme conditions.
Mason's, on the other hand, offers a wide range of clothing and accessories in which the camouflage pattern plays a central role. It's the Camouflage Icon men's line that represents the brand's personality to the fullest and reaches its peak expression in the spring-summer collection.
Mason's Camouflage Icon Men's Line: The Brand's Ultimate Expression
The military line of Mason's SS23 collection ranges from cargo pants and chino pants to shorts, polo shirts, and field jackets. The distinctive element is the camouflage pattern presented in its pure version as well as in cloud or mixed with jungle and floral patterns, all combinations that give the garments a unique and unmistakable character.
According to our stylists, a Mason's man who loves camouflage would not hesitate to wear our M74 field jacket with a piqué polo shirt and the Chile cargo shorts. Let's explore this total military look together:
The M74 field jacket, made of twill cotton, takes inspiration from military garments but is completely updated in terms of fit and details. The prints give it a sophisticated touch, and the drawstring allows for adjusting the fit of the garment. The polo shirt, on the other hand, is made of cotton and is finished with elegant details such as the contrasting fabric under the collar and the logo patches from Mason's. As for the shorts, the men's cargo Bermuda shorts are perhaps the most iconic piece of the line, featuring small studs placed inside the side pockets that make them highly trendy.
