Rag & Bone’s Fall/Winter 2024 menswear collection is a love letter to New York’s unkempt cool, with a dash of Savile Row sartorial finesse. Kyle Sweeney, the brand’s SVP of men’s design, orchestrates a symphony of downtown swagger and elevated denim, proving that comfort and style can be partners in crime.
Think less Brooklyn hipster and more brooding artist in a Chelsea loft. Sweeney’s barrel-leg jeans, the undisputed stars of the show, offer a relaxed silhouette that tapers to the ankle for a contemporary twist. They’re the perfect canvas for experimentation, pairing effortlessly with oversized bombers or banker-striped blazers worn over smoky gray denim (ditch the matching pants, gentlemen).
But Sweeney doesn’t abandon Rag & Bone‘s signature edge. Undone seams and a touch of deconstruction add a welcome dose of grit to the polished tailoring, reminding us that this collection is for those who thrive in the creative chaos of the city. It’s a subtle nod to the brand’s heritage, where raw denim and effortless attitude reigned supreme.
While the spirit of New York infuses the collection’s DNA, Sweeney takes a detour to London for inspiration. Lower lapels on tailored jackets whisper of Savile Row, adding a touch of sophisticated charm to the downtown aesthetic. But fear not, the Rag & Bone DNA remains uncompromised. The juxtaposition of a banker’s blazer with slim-fit jeans is a testament to the brand’s knack for blending high and low, formal and casual.
This Fall/Winter, Rag & Bone isn’t just offering clothes, it’s offering a story. It’s the story of the artist who moonlights as an investment banker, the musician who rocks leather pants under a tailored coat. It’s a love letter to the city that never sleeps, where creativity meets commerce, where comfort and style are in perfect harmony.
And the future? With the recent appointment of Robert Geller as Head Menswear Designer, Sweeney hints that this collection is just the beginning of an even more exciting chapter for Rag & Bone.
