Dudes and their Diors

Just gotta get some pizza.

Thanks for the detailed information Averagejoe!

No problem!

I rather not get the blazer if I had to gain all this weight to fit it. As Rick Owens said,

"No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body."

At least you're close. I'm nowhere near one at the moment. Hopefully one opens in Toronto soon.

Since you're close to NYC, a great place to get Dior Homme bags and clothes is the Dior outlet at Woodbury. Their bags are usually 30-50% off, and they have lots of ready to wear there too. I wish that I lived close to that.

I've never been in a dior home boutique surprisingly although i saw a lot in Singapore as I travel there frequently. The black/white scheme kinda seemed cold to me and it was just too "manly" for my taste but I feel like more color is coming into the bags and now I'm interested.

I like Dior Homme RTW, not so much in terms of fit, but in terms of its sleek look. The bags are sometimes a hit and a miss for me. It's not so much the colour for me, as I love black and a lot of Dior Homme bags are black, but its the style of bag. They look too business-chic to me, and they tend to rely on classic men's bag shapes like briefcases and messenger bags.

The first Dior Homme boutique opened in Vancouver, Canada, in 2015. I hope that Toronto gets one soon.

oh, Dior Homme is no longer limited to black and white. They offer a great variety of colours, especially for cruise and SS collections. And from my experience, it is always better to visit a boutique to see the clothes in person rather than buying online. This will allow you to see the quality of the materials and lots of details, which you may not notice when looking at the pictures. Also, you will always be able to adjust the fit when buying in the boutique. At least in Europe it is always free of charge

Good point! I know that alterations are free for Dior Homme in the US as well. An SA at the Dior Homme in SoHo informed me of this.

I will definitely visit a Dior Homme boutique the next time i go to NYC.

Wow. Now I'm interested in Dior Homme. I can't seem to find websites to buy them online. My nearest Dior Homme boutique is in NYC and I'm in Boston. Hmm.

I just moved to Boston and have been lamenting the lack of Dior Homme around here as well! I know there's one boutique on Newbury (can't remember the name) that carries it, BUT I heard from the Dior boutique in Copley that they can bring in pieces that you like to try on. I think it probably depends on how nice the SA is but I don't see why it would be any problem.

Yes they can, but sometimes it's nice to just be able to see the piece on display first before asking an SA to transfer, because if I end up not buying it, then I won't have to feel like I wasted the SA's time.

Oh I definitely know what you mean, it is a nice service, though, if there's no way to get to DH boutique. I'm just wondering why it's so difficult to find it anywhere honestly. Even the boutiques have relatively limited stock and it's not like any of the clothing is too outlandish to be successful (just the prices )

I think it is the prices, but then again, their prices aren't much different from Fendi and Louis Vuitton, and both of those brands have RTW offerings in Toronto, but not Dior Homme.

New York has 2 Dior Homme boutiques, which can (combined) offer an impressive selection. Of the two locations, I like the Soho location more.

The Saks Fifth Avenue has some Dior Homme RTW and accessories as well, so I guess that makes three locations. Lucky New Yorkers.

For Fall 2016, Kris Van Assche presented a departure from his traditional sleek and clean aesthetic (some of the looks have a bit of a "Hedi Slimane" feel). The bags hail the return of the Dior Homme monogram, in an updated patchwork and gingham motif.

Definitely one of the most interesting Dior Homme collections from Kris Van Assche.

The looks posted below don't showcase the collection well, but they are the pictures which feature bags.
