Kith Menswear Autumn 2022

Kith founder Ronnie Fieg is big into fabrics. “This season has a lot of novelty fabrics,” he says at an appointment. “I feel every season it’s become a challenge, and a sport basically, for us to one-up what we’ve done the year before for the same season.” If last fall he celebrated Kith’s 10th anniversary by leaning into a “neutral palette of humble, easy silhouettes,” this season he was less conspicuous with his style statements. Chief among them is a beautiful floral tapestry fabric shown as a striking full look: a chore jacket with brown suede trim collar and patch pocket details, worn with matching loose fit trousers, a matching tote bag, and, of course, a matching New Era Yankee hat. A striped chenille fabric in shades of moss green and brown was used for a classic chore coat (with a matching bucket hat), but it shone brightest as a pair of trousers that anchored a fuzzy cheetah-print cardigan with black trim, and peeked out just so from underneath a slick olive jacket with a “unique sheen and matte feel.”
