Missoni

             

Angela Missoni has a deft touch with colour, handling geek-chic combinations such as turquoise and grey or fawn and burnt orange with a touch that makes them wearable and not scarily offbeat. With subtle sportif touches, her summer menswear is both covetable and comfortable.

The look: Summer in cooler climes

Silhouette: Neat and slim

Key items: Crew-neck sweaters are the cornerstone here, arriving for almost every exit. They are layered beneath knitted suits with cardigan-blazers and tapered jogging bottoms or styled for summer with shorts. Shorts are another key theme with options including knitted hotpants, tiny resort shorts, sporty shorts with drawstring details or slim-fitting knee-length styles, while lightweight nylon 2SB jackets, blousons and parkas offer something for those inevitable spring showers

Colour: Tonal ink and navy blues, grey with turquoise, shades of khaki and olive, fawn and soft browns with burnt orange

Fabric & knit: Open mesh knit stripes, chevron stripes, wavy stripes, degradé knits, textured stitches in abstract formations, dense knit suiting, flecked knits, space-dyed yarns, brushed wool; casual cottons, sporty nylon, crumpled linen

Details & trims: Drawstrings

Footwear: Knitted trainers (US: sneakers), Velcro-strapped sandals, suede slip-ons with white soles
