Volume and proportions has been the ultimate trend of Fall 2007. As mostly dominant in women's wear, this design concept crossed over to the men's zone in a form of long, loose sweaters and it took a great part of many presentations. The biggest influence was felt at Prada, who showed overpowering, relaxed tops with ultra slim pants. Comfort is definitely a key element in pushing this trend for retailers as well as a new, brave alternative for an updated fall wardrobe. An excellent idea for this look, is layering, which can be achieved with warm overcoats. Perhaps, the best attribute is that one can dress it up as Christopher Bailey showed for Burberry Prorsum or make it casual just like Dries Van Noten.
