As the temperature rises, bright colours elevate the mood and vitality of the season. More than just free expression neon brights serve as a battle cry for reinvention. Capture the essence of summer through a handsome array of bright neon colors
Make a statement on a rainy day by layering on a neon yellow anorak over an emerald green zip up jacket, as seen here by Antonio Marras in his tribute to soccer star Gigi Riva. Feeling constrained by the mundane look of crew necks? Test drive a sleek red translucent rain jacket by Calvin Klein. MSGM’s butter soft suede anorak in mustard yellow over black and white patterned shorts screams comfort without sacrificing style. A basic jacket just doesn’t cut it anymore. Opt for a sublime deconstructed jacket by Neil Barrett. His ultra modern electric blue bomber is the perfect mix of tradition and cutting edge style.
Formal can also be head turning and stylish. Although suits commonly associated with professionals have proven time after time that they can add dash of flare and fun to the world of business. The term “real men wear pink” is a testament to how colour can break all the rules and reshape our preconceived notion of masculinity. Etro’s pink cotton summer suit is proof that you can push the colour boundary and still carry a man card.
Versace’s tone on tone monochromatic suit in varying shades of pink is paired with matching suede weekender bag and slippers. Prada’s dark teal jacket features a clean classic cut with sharp lines for a look that is laid-back but polished. Gucci’s optimistic approach in turquoise blue made for a handsome classic summer suit.
The fashion forward label Costume National offers a French blue three-piece with matching neckerchief. A sure-fire way to create a rakish, elegant look. DSquared2 all-white urban ensemble style with a pop of colour from an aqua blue jacket and short brimmed fedora can upgrade your look for day or evening.
Color communicates more than just newness, it creates a canvas for a man to express himself. And what better way to express yourself than by blowing caution to the wind and mixing color and print to your heart’s desire. Colorful separates and lightweight outerwear allow you to build the season’s ultimate summer wardrobe and piece together great season-ready looks.
