SUMMER SLOUCH
Kick back and enjoy the lazy hazy days of summer with this chilled chic. This season DKNY and Missoni floated down the catwalk with cool linen separates teamed with relaxed chino trousers. Roll Up, Roll Up with this seasons’ hot look of rolled hems with canvas shoes for a mellow Mediterranean look. Keep to neutral colours, natural fibres and wear it loose and laid-back for a no-effort look.
Diesel and Next have followed suit with their top notch ranges of lightweight jackets, motif tees and casual trousers. Make for M&S for basic tees, linen shirts and trousers and team with a pair of Kurt Geiger suede moccasins for polished perfection.
Hit the hammock. You have permission to slouch it this summer.
SLEEVELESS
Time to manicure the muscle when cool takes on a whole new twist with this seasons’ sleeveless must haves. Versace, Alexis Mabille and Prada showcased sleeveless all the way with blazers, light weight tanks, tees and linen cardis. Teamed with super skinny trousers, cotton jackets and a trilby this look gives a nod to another era of refined style.
All Saints and Ben Sherman are a destination must for sleeveless knitted vests and Ted Baker and Next for tanks.
Bare it boys as this season is up in arms for this hot look!
MONOCHROME BRIGHTS FOR THE BOYS
It’s a colour bonanza for the boys with some serious brights lighting up the runway. Paul Smith sets the tone closely followed by Calvin Klein and Lanvin with passionate reds, rich purples, playful oranges and this summers’ hottest colour, yellow. For those more akin to shy than shout, this seasons’ nudes offer a way to play it safe bringing them to life with rushes and splashes of bold brights in the form of ties, scarves and accessories.
Head to Original Penguin, Lacoste and Paul Smith for some punchy polos and shirts and Tommy Hilfiger for colourful knits.
Get noticed. Get bright.
RODEO
Always a favourite staple of most men’s wardrobe, this season’s denim is worn and distressed and reminiscent of energised rodeos and alpha male cowboys. D&G opt for statement looks with fitted checked shirts, ripped jeans and knee length tan boots.
Ride on over to Wrangler, Benetton and Gap for a denim deluge making sure to stop at Levi for the best of fitted checked shirts with detailed stitched pockets. Accessories get some tough rough loving at French Connections with tan leather studded belts and wrist bands.
Jump in the saddle and find your inner cowboy.
BAG IT!
It was bags at dawn for Louis Vitton, Hermes and Dunhill. The man bag takes shape this season with the oversized travel bag while prep packs some punch with soft leather satchels and backpacks. Animal prints paw their way in with subtle uses of croc stitched into leather for a unique stamp of style.
Once the preserve of our female friends, owning a bag has never been more of style right for the guys. Head to Mulberry and Paul Smith to bag your personal luxury fashion statement. Check out Ted Baker’s leather despatch bags and Fred Perry for retro flight bags and holdalls.
Feel the fear and bag it anyway.
Walk tall and feel amazing. The night is yours.
