talian fashion brand Sisley, though owned by Benetton Group, has some ideas for men that are trendier than the original Benetton lines.

Violently Happy collection has a "casual, urban-sporty look with some vintage vibrations". The theme is inspired by different perceptions of reality. Wearers can see comfortable, fluid outfits shape their silhouettes, and those clothes look more hippie-like with knots, belts, and sashes that weave together to reveal the body. The colors here are more like "non-colors": alum white, natural stone, ash, quartz, mirage blue, nightshade, and sulfur yellow. They are from the world of minerals or the night, creating a heavy and stable feeling.

The Golden Age collection, combining contemporary romanticism and urban dynamism, reminds us of a distant decade. They use fabrics and warm colors to create a good-old-day feeling: trousers are roomy, oversized, with pleat accents, and jackets are waist-length - like what your grandpa and grandma used to wear: nice, warm, and comfortable.
