Though gym short cocktail dresses may be all the rage…somewhere, New York Fashion Week has a longing for length. So eschew your bottoms next spring in favor of a long top – a stylish man’s shirtdress – trending fresh from the New York runway. Here are the standouts.
Siki Im
Hospital frocks went haute-concept at Siki Im, who took blouses from the institution, prescribed a drop length to the knee, and discharged them to the street. We’re not sure why pajamas-as-daywear is still trying to happen, so keep it clean and chic in a solid – we vote white.
Y-3
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
A savior to the waistline averse, Yohji Yamamoto began conceiving blousy ensembles for boys before most designers quit the playground – his latest for Y-3 is reliably sporty.
Duckie Brown
We never knew a halter-top sweatshirt qualified as a must-have until Duckie Brown debuted them the other day amid a strong collection of monastic buttondowns and trendy shorts-over-pants. Another New York trend of note: a luxurious desert palette.
Tim Coppens
This designer launched in 2011, so forgive our tardiness because we are now huge fans – linear modern shapes defy expectations by making these sacs feel architectural. In sum: want, need, now.
Billy Reid
Billy Reid designs for the every man. Tunics and long shirts graze below the crotch and permit the less-daring to keep it untucked and to experiment with length: top it with a short jacket.
Daveliam
Truly one of the ugliest fashion trends yet.
Kieran
Whoever said that “in ten years we’ll all be chicks” is going to love this.
Elloreigh
That would be a no, no, no, no, and no. Worse than a mullet dress on a woman. If this is fashion, then I have no desire to be fashionable.
iMort
How do they make money on this? They should have hired an amateur Hippie to design.
mlbumiller
shit! I am getting flash backs of the “man-jamies” I saw in Afganistan. Should i dig my set out of the seabag to be fashion forward?
Dixie Rect
Hideous! All of it. It looks like some faggy religious cult.
MK Ultra
Hmmm…No.
Dxley
No, thank you. A guy in that shit would NEVER get to score me!!!
WhyteRabbit
No. the billy reid collection isn’t horrible…. but, no.
BlogZilla
Looks like brothers of Middle East kafthans
jwrappaport
Good grief. I can’t decide what’s a greater fraud: modern art or haute couture. These literally look like rejected Star Trek costumes.
Polaro
Sorry, make it stop.
DarthKitsune
Once again, the black community has been ripped off by someone who proclaims this a new and exciting idea. These are based on Tall-Tees, which is so last year in the urban community that this new trend is just sad.
Vegas Tearoom
OK, I am late to this thread, but dressing every guy like he is Bea Arthur, seriously? The tunic and pants are one step away from caftan and earrings.

Fashion can be such bullshit.
Some of those pieces look like articles of medical scrubs, the one with no arms looks like what priests wear under their jackets, the grey one with Adidas stripes looks like womens wear.
