Live From... Milan Fashion Week, Day 1

Ermenegildo Zegna

             

The mood was for cool summer luxury at Ermenegildo Zegna, where lightweight tailoring and relaxed casualwear were played out in a light-diffused palette of barely there neutrals and milky pales worn in soft tonal combinations.

The look: Summer in the city

Silhouette: Softly structured tailoring meets relaxed casualwear

Key items: 1 and 2SB tailoring takes on a lightweight feel, with unstructured shoulderlines and slim straight-legged pants, teamed with toning shirts and ties. DBs are slightly cropped and worn with subtly toning pleat-front pants, that tonal look translating to colour-blocked hooded Harringtons and casual poplin shirts. Lightweight nylon jackets and easy commuter macs are the outerwear options, teamed with relaxed cotton/linen knits, soft Bermuda shorts and polo shirts

Colour: Soft alabaster pales and pampas neutrals combine together - think stone, string and putty, palest celadon and shell pink, mercury and maize, palm green and cigarillo

Fabric & knit: Mohair and two-tone linen suitings, papery cotton, ciré, linen blends, washed crumpled suiting, striped shirtweights, summer suede, tonal windowpane checks, jersey, silk

Details & trims:
Contrast facings on knitwear, back vents on tailoring, colour-blocking

Footwear: Rubbed-toe oxfords, suede oxfords, X-strap sandals

Accessories:
Hand-held shoppers, silk ties, pocket handkerchiefs, soft silk scarves
