“The Tie Came Loose” And so did the rules.
Worn by Luan Vargas and captured through the lens of photographer Chuang Liu, this editorial shows menswear with personality, clarity, and quiet power. In a fashion landscape saturated with experimentation and excess, there’s something striking about the return of restraint and this look embraces that with sharp precision. At the center of the styling is a crisp white shirt, worn not to signal formality, but to reclaim it. Slightly unstructured, the shirt nods to the codes of menswear classics. The beige trousers continue that language: tailored but relaxed, modern but not trend-chasing. The straight-leg silhouette elongates the figure and invites movement, grounding the look with quiet strength. But it’s the Burberry plaid tie that shifts the narrative. Worn loose, even caught mid-air by the wind, the iconic pattern injects a sense of heritage and luxury, while its undone styling breaks with tradition. It’s that subtle contradiction between structure and rebellion that defines the mood of this look. Polished black shoes finish the ensemble with weight and purpose, adding contrast and authority.This is not nostalgia. It’s a new classic, one that honors the past while refusing to repeat it.
