People look at fashion shows for cues on how men's fashion is moving forward. Sometimes we're excited, say, when Jil Sander takes inspiration from the double-breasted suit and serves it up in leather. And sometimes we're all, "WTF?"
"The inspiration for this collection comes from a dream I had after eating pad Thai at the Shangri-La, listening to a remix Diplo made called 'Barney and Friends vs. Fight Club,'" says Donatella Versace. OK, so I made that up, but can you blame me?
Salvatore Ferragamo
Now color doesn't mean looking like a Cirque-du-Soleil-performer-turned-off-duty-biker. Leave it to the Italians to illustrate the art of sophisticated color coordination. Here's the trick: Navy, purple and brown will never go wrong -- it's a show stealer.
Ermenegildo Zegna
Editor's Pick: Here's a look we can get behind: sports-inspired outerwear, a color that doesn't induce a seizure and a hairstyle that's polished but not precious.

Here's a look we've been seeing for a few seasons now: the man purse -- actually being held as, well, a purse. It works in Italy, it works if you're an aspiring street-style guy, but if you can't handle this, there's always other options.
John Varvatos
For performing with the band, or just hanging out with one.
So we've taken a few hits on Versace, but we ain't total haters. This look embodies another trend we can get behind in evening wear for men: velvet. It's not for every dude, but it's a great option for the Golden Globes (hear that, Gerard?) or for a night at the Shangri-La.
