On October 17th, Giorgio Armani debuts his Spring/Summer 25 collection at Park Avenue Armory for New York Fashion Week. “What I love most about New York is its speed, its constant reinvention, and its ability to remain both itself and entirely different,” Giorgio Armani tells Vogue. The Italian Fashion House rarely steps outside of Milan to display their brilliant work, however, Armani makes a thrilling exception to grace New York City this year.
Armani reveals a collection of chic, business casual-like menswear to the runway, displaying various coats, trousers, loafers, and accessories.
Armani styles a trench-like coat overtop a set including a cropped, open blazer paired with loose, flowy trousers and boat shoes. The movement within the clothing serves as a comfortable alternative to your typical work suit yet still aims to remain classy and chic. The addition of the rope belt matching both the coat and shoes adds to the aesthetically pleasing element of the entirety of this look.
Armani styles a loosely fitted silky brown suit overtop of an open, wide-collar undershirt revealing the chest, along with brown boots and an unfit brown belt to match. Similarly, the movement within this look is quite free-flowing and open allowing for maximum comfort. The luster in the fabric alongside the movement and draping makes for a whimsical appearance.
In these two looks, the sunglasses slipped into the coat’s front pockets seem to be a trend of the foreseeable future. Its effortless yet fashionable look represents the hustle and bustle of what New York City truly is.
Armani styles a more fitted yet casual suit paired with a dark blue, collared undershirt, a backpack-like handbag hanging down by the model’s side, aviator glasses, and charcoal loafers. This look is a sophisticated representation of your average New Yorker. There is still movement in this look, fitting the comfortability feature of this collection, however, it has a sense of both looking and feeling more put together.
Giorgio Armani’s return to “the city that never sleeps” has been a great triumph in menswear for the future of business casual fashion. We can only hope that Armani will continue to make many more appearances outside of Milan.
