A Heatwave Look by Comme Un Camion
It is with a little pang in my heart that I write this last look imagined in Breton lands. I say pang because this is also the last project we are working on with Pierrot, the stylist for the truck for the past two years. There is also excitement at the end of this season. I am already eager to see the whole crew arrive in Paris, from where I write my articles every month. I can, without regret, say goodbye to the early morning train schedules at Montparnasse station and consider joining the future offices by bike! So for this last one with Pierrot, I propose a look that resembles me. An outfit with accents that takes into account the strong heat that France should experience in the coming days.
In contrast to my previous look, the clothes fall away, leaving only the essentials. Coco Chanel said that “fashion is architecture: it is all about proportions” and while it is hard to disagree with that, I think it is much easier to find the right balance with fewer items. And then, when the mercury hovers around thirty degrees, I gladly skip unnecessary accessories. So here is a look that will accompany a good part of my summer, and maybe yours!
The basic idea was to have an outfit that allows for breathing without falling into the vacation look. To achieve this, I cannot recommend too strongly paying attention to three points: the material, the cut, and the color of your clothes. I started by choosing the pants; they are Casatlantic, a young brand created by Nathaniel Asseraf whose father owns the famous vintage Broadway & Sons shop in Sweden. Casatlantic offers trousers inspired by Moroccan chinos from the 1960s. The cuts are wide, which feels good. Already because it breathes, but also because it is much easier to structure an outfit around! In this look, I am wearing a Safi whose leg opening is 21 cm. As for the size, I am 1m80 for 70kg and wear a 30x30. My only regret is that the fabric is quite thick as I mainly bought these pants to use for 4 seasons, but there are versions in a mix of linen and cotton!
Inspired by my pants straight from Morocco, I wanted to accentuate a slightly Mediterranean style (because I am not fooling anyone with my milk complexion). I opted for the tank top-shirt combo. I see you coming; not everyone is comfortable in a marcel! Yet it has some undeniable qualities. The first being that it has no sleeves—no joke—and thus is less hot than a t-shirt! Well, yes. The second is more of a stylistic nature. The tank top echoes military Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter Pin on Pinterest
