Green Is the New Black
From rich emerald hues to vibrant Kelly greens, green is having a major moment on and off the runways. Whether you opt for a statement suit in a bold jewel tone or keep it subtle with a classic olive chino, green is the perfect way to refresh your warm-weather wardrobe. And don’t be afraid to go tonal: pairing different shades of green creates a luxe, monochromatic look that feels utterly modern. Best of all, green complements virtually any skin tone, making it an effortlessly cool neutral to build your outfits around.
Contemporary Crochet
From Valentino to Simone Rocha, Marine Serre, and Botter, crochet was all over the S/S24 runways. But this season’s crochet pieces are far from your grandma’s doilies – they’re bold, modern, and make a statement all on their own. Whether you opt for a vibrant hue or keep it minimal in neutrals, a crochet shirt or polo is the most versatile piece you’ll own this summer: dress it up with tailored trousers for the office, or turn it into a statement piece by wearing it casually. And there’s no need to overthink in terms of accessorising, either; these intricate, handcrafted pieces really do speak for themselves.
The Big Short Debate
The Spring/Summer 2024 collections were a tale of two sartorial halves. On one end of the runway, short shorts went another couple of inches up men’s thighs at Prada and Hermès; on the other, loose and baggy were the words at Fendi and Gucci. Regardless of the team you’re on, there’s no denying that shorts are one of this summer’s biggest trends. Wear yours with an oversized short-sleeved shirt and fishermen sandals for a laid back look, or dress them up with a matching blazer.
