NEW GUISE FOR AN OLD CLASSIC Jackets versus sweatshirts: Fashion battle of the decade We finally expelled formal suits from our wardrobes, only to free them of standards and embrace them again, albeit in a different interpretation

Sada je efektan, glomazan, udo- ban, nosi se sa čim god poželite i umesto stege, postaje kul komad ko- ji uobličava kombinaciju kao treš- nja na torti.
