The trend for wrapping up in a wandering vestimentary cocoon is no longer confined to womenswear. For the 2019-2020 fall-winter season, designers have chosen to bundle up the modern man in warm, wide-cut pieces offering ample protection from the cold. Along with leather jackets and long overcoats, streetwear-inspired oversized quilted coats were on view in several shows. Off-White, Ermenegildo Zegna, and Louis Vuitton figured large among the proponents of this new type of new type of anorak, while Dries Van Noten presented shorter puffer jackets that wrap around the male figure. Some fashion houses -- notably menswear label Sunnei -- also unveiled ultra-long scarves in a further iteration of the cocooning spirit.

With a welter of cheetah, panther, leopard, and snakeskin looks, animal prints ruled the roost in the 2019-2020 fall-winter season shows in London, Milan and Paris. Several fashion houses, notably Celine, made use of animal-print motifs to add a wild touch to their suits and overcoats, while others, like Versace and Marni, mixed animal prints and flashy colors. Animal-skin prints, albeit ultra-sober ones, were also a feature of the Dior show.
