New York Fashion Week: Preppy redux in menswear
NEW YORK -- The menswear collections that came down the runway during New York Fashion Week were a crisp, colorful, pattern-packed bunch. Certainly, there were vestiges of the military and workwear influences of seasons past -- especially in casual outerwear pieces such as bomber and motorcycle jackets. But it was variations on the preppy aesthetic -- rendered in soft linens and puckered seersucker -- that moved to the head of the class for spring-summer 2013. Some of the most noteworthy menswear trends seen on the runways included these. Click here for more runway coverage.

Bold stripes emerged as the predominant graphic element for spring during the shows, which ended Thursday. Michael Bastian showed workwear-inspired, railroad-striped denim pullover shirt jackets, five-pocket jeans and slouchy Confederate soldier style kepi hats (the latter a collaboration with Mr. Kim, Eugenia Kim's men's line). Michael Kors employed horizontal rugby stripes on men's pullover shirts and vertical, referee-like stripes on cotton blazers. The latter look also cropped up on Western-style shirts in the Joseph Abboud collection. Pictured is a look from the Joseph Abboud collection.
