Your must-have shirts for summer

 

Essentials for the warm weather. The coolest key items in a men’s or women’s wardrobe, to interpret the so-called Italian style envied the world over, even when the weather is at its hottest. With this in mind, linen  is the prince of fabrics: the most popular, go-to choice if you want to combine comfort, freshness and style in a single item. 

 

 

 

 

Linen, a noble fibre in new colourways

 

New linen shirts with all the savoir faire of a perfectly crafted item, mixed with a new wave of fresh, delicate shades, starting with a super-elegant rose pink, just hinted and never overly bold. The result of an elegance that seeks balance in distinction. 

It is among the pastel shades in a sea, sky and sunset palette, that we find the must-have band collar in linen, this summer’s cult piece which, as well as in pink, is back in army and navy uniform colours, turning the hanbok-style shirt into a wear-anywhere piece to take you from morning through to dinner under the stars.

 

 

 

 

Flowers, even more stylish in new colour mixes

 

The season’s new floral prints see greater definition in both design and colour, used on linen and linen blend fabrics. The idea is to wear them under a jacket or tucked into trousers in a more elegant key, with more formal fits, combined with cutaway collars, unlike the Hawaiian style, which needs to be left out for a more casual feel.
The search for increasingly new prints with even richer details - from bright colours to the shades enhanced by chiaroscuri - has always been an aim that we have outsourced to the world’s best creative partners when it comes to florals, such as Liberty of London. 

 

 

 

 

Oversized stripes or romantic blouses?

 

Women can express themselves through comfort that takes its cues from the cornerstones of formal menswear and mixes them with T-shirts in free style. Oversized shirts are here to open the way for this season’s women’s collection. The most innovative looks come from striped shirts with wide short sleeves and in contemporary volumes that serve their best looks over boyfriend denims or palazzo pants, where only the waist breaks up and creates a balance between volumes.
And for the more romantic of you, broderie anglaise and silk blouses are the way forward when it comes to adding a touch of class on hot days to those summer looks with lighter, impalpable fabrics, interpreting stylish elegance that women of all ages, even the youngest, can agree on.
