We've given Le Protocole Outlook a little bit of shine in the past and they just sent through their lookbook for F/W 15. The Canadian brand has turned out some solid staples over the past couple of seasons and F/W 15 takes a bit more subdued approach. This collection is more of a texture game than anything. Fabrics look multidimensional and have a lot of character. The patterns aren't too busy. Nothing is overly complicated. F/W 15 is a set of straight-forward workshirts, casual blazers, trousers, shirts and jackets. A pajama-trim jacket offers a really good option for a nice mid-layer piece and heavier wool shirts look durable and suitable for crisp fall days that feel years away at this point. Seeing so many crazy designs and complicated concepts over New York Fashion Week can make you long for clothes that you don't have to think about too much, but are still able to appreciate. Such understated, simple style is what LPO does best. You'll have to wait a while to get your hands on this stuff, but you can pick up some out of season gear from both Rooney and directly from the brand.
