Classic soft tailoring this wonderful 2 button single breasted suit. The blazer has the pocket detail you would find on a Safari suit with the box pleat detail and flaps. The vintage diamond pattern is simple yet very effective in this colour way. Matched by the oversize buttons.
A very interesting blazer with the narrow shirt style collars. Again I love the use of the oversize buttons. I also like the detail of the piping used on the edge of the blazer. Styled with the top two buttons closed. Soft tailored trouser to give the effect of a suit.
A reworking of the shirt jacket. Cropped in length with press stud fastening. Lovely shawl collars detail. The trouser as before a soft tailored with great drape to them with the slant pockets.
A beautifully textured blazer with a high fastening point making the collars short but the width of them stops the blazer from being unbalanced. Simple fine knitted polo shirt, vintage diamond pattern. Classic Armani pleated trouser with turn ups. I like the styling with only the very top button fastened.
A little reworking of the bomber that’s in fashion right now. Again the piping detail to the edge is one of my favourite details to this garment and the contrast colour ribs collar looks very cool.
A small step into the Sports-luxe look of this season. The jacket / cardigan has a look and feel like it came from the wardrobe of an Olympic fencer. I love the waffle texture and the high neck with no collars.
A really beautiful patterned blazer, the print is gorgeous and it’s all about the scale that really works. Simple tile print and those colours are fantastic. Cropped length and the fastening starting slightly higher because of it. Classic pleated drape trousers and a simple blue tee underneath.
A slightly different tile print but again a great use of scale that brings this print to life. The trousers have that wonderful drape to them and the exposed button fly which is a nice detail. The soft tailoring carries on through to that wonderful overcoat.
This years anorak gets a showing at Armani. Wonderful oversized hood and great zip detail on the sleeves. The tee has a simple tile effect placement print. The classic Armani double pleated drape trouser, note that the pleats are shallow.
I’m loving this beautiful four button single breasted suit. Wonderful relaxed tailoring, I really like the straight cut of the hem on the blazer. The trouser again double pleated but using that shallow pleat and narrowing down the leg.
Digital placement print and the man himself and why not. Lightweight knitted long sleeve wide neck top, really lovely shape. The jacket worn over the shoulder for style. The drape trouser, wide and loose. Beautiful colour palette which I’ve yet to mention.
The soft tailored jersey blazer seems to be making a come back, wonderful relaxed styling. The blister effect on the jacquard adds a lovely texture to the print. The contrast to the blazer collar just helps to left the blazer and define the lapels. The tee matched perfectly and then that wonderful pleated trouser with the narrow leg.
The knitted cardigan, love the piping effect around the edges. A simple swirled pattern along the edge, beautiful narrow collars and I love that rounded edge to the hem. The wide neck tee as before.
Another single breasted jersey blazer. This time the placement of the buttons are low so that more of the tee is exposed and of course the lapels then lengthen. The top of the lapels have a subtle print. The detail to the sleeves are a nice touch.
Finally a double breasted blazer and this one doesn’t disappoint. The Seersucker stripe in that wonderful navy and marine blue combination looks gorgeous. The buttons sit narrow and close together and the hem of the blazer then cuts away from them at an angle. Styled with a neckachief, gorgeous.
Another reworking of the classic bomber jacket. Made in a check jersey, the pockets are interestingly cut straight across rather then angled. Matched with a simple navy shirt and then a printed trouser.
A really wonderfully knitted cardigan, I especially love those boxed pockets. High neck collars, featured with those extra large buttons. The trouser have a beautiful texture to the fabric which looks fantastic.
Another wonderful jersey blazer, I love those pockets. The shirt looks to be made of silk, the placket is styled like a baseball shirt. Another lovely neckachief. The trousers worn low on the hip are wide and loose.
Fantastic collarless knitted tee, I love that pattern. Wonderful colouring, works really well with that lightweight black suit. That thin belt gives the trousers that paper bag waistline.
Giorgio Armani SS17 – the most wonderful soft tailored collection. Beautiful gentle soft lines, simple geometric patterns and fantastic tones of blues, greys, browns, reds and creams. The summer knitwear are my favourite but the standout pieces are the jersey blazers especially the patterned versions. This is the ultimate casual collection, stunning.
