Menswear in Paris: Details

Have you been watching the mens collections? Honestly, I usually don't, but i've been hopping with excitement for the Spring/Summer 2012 Couture collections which start tomorrow, and so i've seemingly caught the fashion bug. Surprisingly i've really enjoyed looking at the mens lines, although I've spent more time oggling the hairstyles, bags, gloves and other accessorising ephemera, rather than the outfits as a whole. This probably has more to do with me not knowing an awful lot on what makes a good suit (apart from it looking good on a skinny androgynous model, par for course). Here then are some of my favourite little bits from the collections, as it seems to me a crying shame that the smaller details are often over-looked in favour of the actual clothing. Enjoy!
