While I have been a Perry Ellis wearer for many years, they flat front pants have stopped me from purchasing any pants from PE. Classic styling means exactly that, they NEVER go out of style.
I have been surprised at some of the material selections in the past few seasons, if a material looks like a bedroom sheet DON’T use it for shirt material.
My son enjoys the city fit style of shirts (21yr old) while I have enjoyed the classic style from a couple of seasons back. While I imagine that some of the Batik and uneven paisley [patterns] may have appeal to someone, you need to stay basically true to the style that 'brung ya.'
The coat style of recent years has made me wonder if your designers ever wear what they design. Use classic material not the plastic looking stuff. That’s why they haven’t sold. Try a longer version of the classic PEA Coat.
That’s all for now, if interested I will send you more hopefully inspired ideas for the line.
