Calvin Klein's Spring Summer men's collection for 2012 is a mix of shades - yellows, greys, sea blues, black and white. Avoid the yellows, they look terrible. And we have to question the elasticated pants. It doesn't make the collection sporty and does no justice to any of the pants on show. Just like we railed against skinny jeans for men, Calvin Klein seem to have fallen towards the opposite and gone loose with their pants. Which is fine until elasticated waist bands start cropping up. Unless you like people laughing at you, avoid these.
And pants that cut off at the shins? Great for rapper celebrities. Everybody else, forget about it.
The coats are typical Calvin Klein - edgy and cool. In particular the black knee length coats tied with belt was a stunning creation. Something strikes me as medieval in design about it. Great to see black back in fashion again.

As for the vests - We're still undecided. If you got the body, go for it (just avoid the yellow tones). Not sure about the double-layering effect of white underneath. Just seems a bit naff.
Oh, one last thing. The glasses that look like snorkelling masks? WTF?
