Calvin Klein’s Getaway edit trades the usual urban backdrop for open water, setting its summer men’s edit against the worn teak and rigging of a classic wooden sailboat. The choice of vessel matters. It’s a classic wooden boat with worn beauty, and it lends the whole edit a timeless, understated quality.
Calvin Klein Getaway Edit
The real story is the wardrobe arc. Calvin Klein takes its man through every moment of the trip, from a white ribbed tank top worn on deck to relaxed linen shirts, left open at the chest, with white linen trousers throughout. It’s the brand’s famous underwear DNA bleeding naturally into lifestyle, the blurring of intimate and public that Calvin Klein has always done best.
The edit’s most pointed moment is a black seersucker co-ord, shirt and trousers cut from the same puckered fabric. Seersucker in black subverts the fabric’s traditional pastel associations, delivering the breathable warmth of summer suiting with a moodier edge. It’s the dressed peak of a wardrobe, completing the arc as a full packing list told across a series of looks, each one a different hour of the same getaway.
The looks are few and the silhouettes are consistent. It’s minimal, confident, and aspirational. It’s where Calvin Klein belongs.
Giacomo Cavalli covered the same minimalist ground in the spring linen edit for Calvin Klein.
