BIG TAILORING
These Suits Are Big On Style
Not all that long ago, the suit was seen as merely office uniform, but today it has become a much more fluid garment. As we saw at the Dries Van Noten, Etudes, and Dolce & Gabbana SS24 shows, the suit has broken out of the office thanks to a loose and flowy silhouette. Oversized jackets, or tightly waisted jackets with structured shoulders, are par for the course this season, together with wide-leg trousers. Boxy single-breasted jackets by BOSS and Hechter Paris are a great intro to the trend, while double-breasted styles by Joop! and HUGO offer a more sartorial option…either way you can shop the trend for up to 70% less at McArthurGlen. The slouchy trousers are awesome as separates, too, giving you a tonne of wardrobe options. Keep the palette neutral or in warm dark tones to let the silhouette do the talking, and top the look off with leather loafers by Hackett London and a debonair silk scarf.
LOOSE-FIT DENIM
Denim Has a Baggy Moment
Denim is one of those ever-present menswear fabrics that we all love to wear, but just how we wear it changes quite frequently. It wasn’t that long ago that skinny jeans and cropped trucker jackets were the norm, but as per the Valentino and Feng Chang Wong collections, denim has gone down a baggy route for summer ‘24. Roomy jackets and overshirts by the likes of Diesel and G-Star offer an urban ruggedness, complemented with baggy straight-leg and wide-leg jeans by Mustang and Levi's. From indigo dyes to distressed stonewashes, every colour of blue, black and dark grey is game.
PINK HUES
Grown Men Wear Pink (Lots Of It)
Barbie was onto something when she made her world pink, but we’re past the days of gender-specific colours. The whole tonal range of pink is the perfect summer colour for modern men’s wardrobes, as we saw on the runways at Zegna, Brunello Cucinelli, Amiri, and many more. You can dip your toe into the trend with a pair of pink short shorts by Armani, or a simple crew-neck t-shirt by Marc O'Polo, but to make a bolder statement, go head-to-toe pink and mix up your tones. Pink tailoring is summer wedding perfection, whereas dark pink corduroy trousers or chinos by the likes of Polo Ralph Lauren are a more casual canvas for lighter tone polos and short-sleeve shirts. Keep your fabrics lightweight (think cotton and linen) and textural to give your look all-important depth. Go bold for up to 70% less at McArthurGlen!
SHORT SHORTS
You’re On Short Notice
All those taxing leg days at the gym were not for nothing because this season’s key summer trend is short shorts. While we still love a great pair of board shorts, the likes of Gucci, Wales Bonner, and Valentino are all pointing us in the way of the shorter variety. Referencing vintage sports shorts, these thigh-bearers are coming in a variety of bold colours or in loud vibrant patterns by brands such as Lacoste and Puma. In many cases, the shorts are coming as part of a coordinated set with a camp collar shirt or polo for a super slick resort vibe.
