Before the stuffy opulence of Paris haute couture fashion week, the City of Light has a few days to take in the breezier fare of the spring 2013 men’s collections. The best trends that emerged over the last few days revealed an industry with an eye turned to sport — spritely active popped up in nearly every line. A cold front may have descended on Paris over the weekend, but the barrage of shorts, light-colored suits, and pieces meant for outdoor use looked past any idea of cold weather, and instead focused on the warmth that always follows winter. Guys, it’s time to stock your closets with safari shorts, camo everything, and long skirts . Yes, skirts. Skirts for guys.
