Balmain

Metal is the detail to check first. Buttons on blazers, coats and knitwear are set in gold- or silver-tone metal and usually carry the house name rather than being left plain, and the same finish runs through buckles, zip pulls, studs and the plates on bags and footwear. Because that finish is a surface plating, keep hardware away from fragrance and store pieces so metal is not pressed against metal.

The line is structured and close. Shoulders are squared and built up, the body follows narrow beneath them, and jackets and coats tend to sit shorter than a classic block. Knitwear and jersey follow the same close cut through the chest and arm. If you prefer a relaxed silhouette, or you carry width across the back, going up a size is usually more comfortable than tailoring one down.
