MSGM – SS17

Posted on by Umash


Summer knitwear which is a must in all wardrobes. This half and half three quarter sleeve jumper is very cool. Classic cable knit at the bottom and then clean stripe jumper on top. The varied stripes are lovely and that gorgoues orangy red is such a great colour. Oversize in structure and so is that shirt underneath, love the styling with the hem hanging out from underneath the jumper.

Lovely fine knit with those gorgeous stripes matched at the armhole to give it those clean lines. I love that green colour, very vibrant. Simple slim leg jeans with a well worn wash.

Let’s start off with a classic black denim western style jacket, a version of which should be in every mans wardrobe, styled with the cuffs turned up. Put together with that lovely striped rollneck. The bottoms have a marble print, baggy and with a elasticed hem.

Very 60’s in its influence not only in the shape but also the colours with that beautiful orange and yellow. The tee wouldn’t look out of place on the back of a rider during the Tour de France. Those jeans have a wonderful cut, slim around the thighs and then just that little kick of flare to the hem.

Loving this sport luxe look of this season. Again another tee that reminds me so much of those old time cycling tees, very cool. Love the colour blocking. Matched with simple black jeans, effortlessly cool.

A lightweight raincoat, gorgeous orange colouring and I love the zip detail. Interesting styled with the sleeves pulled right up to show off the printed long sleeve tee underneath. Both tee and jacket styled tucked into those bottoms.

Ahh the acid wash jeans, would you dare… I like the way these jeans have been styled with a great peice of knitwear in that lovely cornflower blue and that stripe shirt. I like that contrast, very cool.

How gorgeous is that acid wash denim jacket, the wash gives it a wonderful textured look. Multi stripe tee and then those nylon shorts. Sports luxe at its best.

A rework of the classic Argyll jumper. Very dramatic and seen through the eyes of Dali. I really like the cut of this jumper very slimline and close to the body and that slightly wider neck really compliments having those collars from the shirt.
MSGM SS17 – A wonderfully eclectic collection, incredible use of colour, vibrant reds, yellows and oranges mixed with simple base colours of black, blue and grey. I especially love the vintage cycling tees in simple colour blocks put together with those kick flared jeans that I like in my own wardrobe. Other standouts are the acid wash jeans and denim jacket and also the reworked Argyll jumper that has a slight Salvador Dali feel to it. A very beautiful collection.

Etro- SS17

Posted on by Umash


Kimonos are becoming ever more popular these days and this is a wonderful reworking of that style used within a shirt. The suit is beautifully relaxed in its shape and I just love that waffle texture. Simply stunning.

More of that kimono look, with that oversize shirt jacket. Love the open neck V tee layered underneath. Styled with the tuck in.

Double breasted blazers are seldom styled in such a relaxed way normally that’s the reserve of the single breasted blazer. That being said this is a wonderful example of how cool you can look when you try something new. Love that deep V neck tee.

Beautiful twist front draped jacket, simply stunning. Deep V neck tee and what a gorgeous print on those loose cut trousers. The whole tonal burnt red colouring is fantastic. 

This time a little more tailored doubke breasted blazer, wonderfully styled with the sleeves rolled up to show off that lining. Pattern on pattern with the shirt and trousers. Beautiful blue tonal colouring.

Let’s step up with our kimono game with this denim version. I love the bleached out floral stencil pattern. The self fabric belt really completes the look and again styled with the cuffs turned up. Lovely drape trousers and styled with the turn up, gorgeous look.

Sports luxe a theme that’s really taken off this season. Lovely printed tracksuit, love the turn ups on the bottoms and those wonderful double stripe ribs. The Mac has a wonderful texture to it which I just love, note the sleeves of the Mac have been pulled up so that the tracksuit sleeves can be featured.

Texture is the word for this collection. Just look at those trousers, beautiful mono colouring, flat front, straight leg and cropped. I love the dots on the texture of that single breasted blazer, again turn those sleeves up and show off the lining.

The grandad collar shirt, shown in my shows this season. Lovely styling with the stripes horizontal on the shirt and vertical on the blazer. Love those drape trousers with the turn ups. Great look.

I love this whole look, that longline cardigan is gorgeous. Simple white tee is a classic. Wonderful stripe trousers with the lace up detail.

One of my favourite pieces of clothing, the shirt jacket. This one in that deep blue denim with what looks like a raw edge finish to add that little bit of highlight to the edges of those pockets and the epaulettes.

A lovely reworking of the polo shirt. I love the stripes contrasted with the floral trouser. Such a gorgeous look.

Interesting jodhpur style trousers, note the lace up bottoms. A gorgeous printed shirt, love that ethnic print.
Etro SS17 – This is a collection very much based on the visual and creating intrigue. The stripes are horizontal on a shirt and then vertical on the jacket. Textured is used throughout to give the fabric another dimension to it. All the Blazers have there sleeves rolled up to show off there colourful long as do the trousers. A hint of sports luxe, the lace up hem on some of the trousers are a lovely detail. I absolutely love the kimonos used as both a overcoat as well as a shirt. Such wonderful styling. The colours and the print are gorgeous and as you would expect from Etro collection. Simply stunning.

Calvin Klein – SS17

Posted on by Umash

Another of this seasons themes, the double jacket and also tone on tone. I love the styling of a simple tee underneath those two jackets. Single breasted blazer and the overcoat are well tailored and have a fantastic cut. Nlte the tone on tone buttons.

Stunning double breasted blazer, as before with the tonal buttons and styled with a simple tee. Loving this look.

Such a beautiful satin baseball jacket. I love the press stud fastenings in the contrasted black, I love the contrasted slits on the pockets, the stripe down the sleeves and last of all the double stripe ribs. This is a stunning jacket.

I love the styling on this outfit. The western jacket in satin and then that lunch baseball jacket underneath showing those contrast press studs. Loving this look.

This outfit is styled so well, the layering is wonderful. Simple white tee, then that gorgeous orange single breasted blazer finished with that black overcoat. Love it. 

Such a fantastic reworking of the American football shirt. Cropped length, great use of the mesh but it’s the soft leather yoke and sleeves that take this to the next level. Simply stunning.

More of the sport luxe styling. Another reworking of a football shirt but this time done in knitwear. The stripes are bold and I love the contrasted colour on the V neck and the panels on the shoulders.

I like the crop length on this knitwear. The stripes on the shoulder are really cool and the stripes on the cuffs finish off the style really well.

Calvin Klein SS17 – Classic Americana styling, based in the sports luxe theme. Very simple colour palette the rich cream contrasted to the jet black and then the pop of the orange on that single breasted blazer is really cool. I like the fabrics used like the satin for the western jacket. I love knitwear which has been reworked into simple sport jerseys. The standout is the wonderful satin baseball jacket which is on my wish list.

Marni – SS17

Posted on by Umash

Really interesting one button single breasted suit. I like the that the button is high on the chest and I also like the rounded edges of the blazer too. Those trouser are wide and crop and they have a lovely flow about them. The leather is oversized, just look at those collars and how the models hands are hidden away by those sleeves. 

The leather shorts, seen in many of this seasons shows. Again it’s all about the scale and oversize is the choice. I love the colour that deep khaki is gorgeous. The jumper is lovely, let’s look at the cut. The shoulders and chest are oversized, the raglan sleeve just adds to the effect, the waist is narrow and the contrast that gives is lovely.

More of the delicious khaki leather, this time in a classic 3 button single breasted blazer. The cut is slightly oversized but not too out of proportion. The trouser as before wide and cropped.

Can oversize be too much, I don’t think so. These shorts are a case in point, hugely oversized but the drape and the cut make the whole style work. The hoodie is also oversized but not excessively, the print is fantastic and it’s styled with the tuck in.

I love knitwear and this is a great peice. I love that burnt orange colour and the short sleeves which I’d like to see more of on the high street. The trouser are a wonderful drape and flow about them. The jumper styled tucked in to the trouser which is a theme running throughout the SS17 shows. 

More of those oversize shorts, matched with a lovely candy striped shirt. Effortlessly stylish.

I haven’t yet mentioned the free hanging waistband on the trouser and shorts in this collection. It’s in interesting concept on the design of the trousers, I like the little slice of colour from the shirt showing through it adds a lovely break to the colours. The shirt is has a fantastic mix of relaxed cutting from those big wide sleeves and the cuffs turned up contrasted with those sharpe collars and fly front to hide the buttons. Just gorgeous.

Marni SS17 – This collection is all about scale and proportion, oversized is also contrasted within the same peice. I love those drape trousers with the free hanging waistband and also those oversize shorts. The leather has a sensual quality to it and wonderful colouring. Simple candy stripes which I’ve seen in other shows as well. I like the ease and simplicity of this collection, fantastic work.

Marcelo Burlon – SS17

The kimono, such an effortlessly stylish and easy to where. I love those big wide sleeves and the contrast lining just showing through. Pure Rock’n’Roll.

The sleeveless tee. This has a classic cut with those extended shoulders and the fabric has structure and holds it self well. The bottoms in are classic shell suit track bottoms.

Classic sportware layered look. You have those running tights and then those oversize shorts. Simple printed sweatshirt on top.

Print on print on print…a real classic snake print keeping it simple can be so effect just red and black. Oversize shorts, the short is grandad collar and also has a fly front to hide the buttons. Lovely utility jacket with those lovely patch pockets.

I love this short kimono so cool, if you have the legs then show them with those amazing running tights. Fantastic print.

Let’s start off with those oversize shorts. Simple colouring again, black with the red print, drawstring fastening. Perfectly matched with the three quarter length sleeve sweatshirt and of course the continuation of the print.

Taking the bomber jacket one step further by using that wonderful cord to add that lattice work to the outfit. The same detail to the bottoms. Gorgeous all red.


This is how you rework a hoodie, firstly you have that wonderful zip up high neck and then the hood itself is attached around the neck and has the most wonderful draped shape to it. I love that kimono style jacket with those amazing wide sleeves. The simple black shorts are styled well for this outfit.

A real statement peice with the use of then 3D print which us just gorgeous. Simple shorts and tracksuit top.

A wonderful MA-1 bomber jacket, the patches are still going to be on trend throughout the new season. I like the way all the patches are one uniform colour, very cool. Animal and camo print tracksuit bottoms add to the whole look.

I love this look, the leather oversize shorts are being shown at many shows this season. I really like the hoodie especially the longline length. Fantastic look.

Marcelo Burlon SS17 – A truely masculine collection. Sports luxe at its very best. I really love the Kimonos they are really stylish. Reworking of the classic MA-1 Bomber jackets are really well designed. The leather works really well with the whole look. The prints take this collection up,to,the next level, not just the 3D placement prints but the all over prints which have been kept simple using only red and black. This whole collection shouts of MAN in a way many collections this season don’t do.

Massimo Piombo -SS17

Posted on by Umash


The Kurta style Indian shirt with a classic grandad collar in that wonderful turmeric orange is gorgeous. I would have loved to have seen more of that embroidered waistcoat again a renal classic look in Indian style. The navy blue is a simple and easy choice to match to compliment this outfit.


Another Kurta style shirt and waistcoat but this time with the full trouser in the most vibrant turquoise blue. This time paired with a classic double breasted blazer, styled with the buttons undone as to not lose out on the embroidery on the waistcoat.


The Kurta shirt this time done using a very rustic cotton in that bold candy stripe. Again the embroidery is delicate and well placed, it doesn’t unbalance the outfit. The double breasted tuxedo blazer gives a contrast to the relaxed nature of this outfit because of the satin collars and sharpe cut. Which if you think about it is the same with wearing jeans with a blazer, in essence it’s the same concept.


By far my favourite Kurta shirt as I like the denim chambray fabric and the stripes on the blazer match it well. Again the embroidery is finely balanced as with all in this collection.


The shirts are now cut down to the standard length and nothing is really lost in the impact of the outfit. The stripe on this shirt is lovely, simple and clean. The embroidery frames the placket of the shirt well. I also like the styling with the cuff of the shirt protruding out from the sleeves-for the jacket.


Really wonderful colouring to this outfit. I love that candy stripe on the blazer and then that earthy red that so deep and rich. The star being that waistcoat which is shamefully hidden away but then that only builds intrigue. Gorgeous outfit.

Massimo Piombo SS17 – There is no denying the Indian influence of this collection, not only in the design of the outfits and embroidery but also with the colours that are so rich and vibrant. In the earthy tones have a deepness about them. This is a wonderful collection that is young and has a sort of next generation feel about it the classic tailoring and cut has this old world feel to it. A very beautiful collection and worth spending your time over.

Emporio Armani – SS17

Posted on by Umash

The finger print and if you have an iPhone you already know that your finger print  has now become the key to open its little tiles for you play with. So why not celebrate its beauty. This is a lovely tee, it’s a great print and I’d like to think it’s the finger print of Mr Armani himself. I liked the grandad collar style as well almost makes the tee formal. Lovely relaxed tailoring as you’d might expect from Armani with the suit itself. The fabric has a wonderful texture that almost makes it look like paper. 

The denim jeans and blazer look is now a stable in all mens wardrobe so why not add a little something else into the mix. It’s not the first collection to show embroidery on its denim this season but this version is more subtle then the rest with it’s tone on tone colouring. The navy follows through to the rest of the outfit with that wonderful textured blazer and the deep navy in  what seems to be a baseball shirt (it’s a shame we can’t see more of it).

I love the cut of this four button double breasted jacket. The shawl collars which are wonderfully narrow look fantastic. The shiny two tone effect of the fabric is sharpe;y contrasted with the matte navy cotton of the trousers also the cut of the trouser is wide and straight. Again the navy on navy works well together.

Sports luxe is another growth area in Menswear and the use of none traditional fabrics push the boundaries further. This lightweight dark chambray denim works particularly well in this hoodie and matching bottoms. Note the fly front on the hoodie and the drawstring on the trousers. The overcoat in that dark dark midnight blue is a wonderfully addition to this whole look and styled in a way to give the appearance of a cape, a must have item for any superhero outfit.

I’ve ways loved denim blazers and actually they are difficult to find. This is is beautiful especially with those dark blue collars. The trousers are wide around the waist and hips, the deep single pleat then help to taper down the leg to the ankle. The shirt has a rugged quality about it with that big zip going straight down the front of it. I especially like those collars I the contrast colour.

A wonderful combination of leather and suede, again not usually shown together on the same garment but contrasting textures seems to be a theme in this collection. The jacket itself like the ones before have a fly front to hide all the press stud fastening and the collars are neat and narrow. The trousers are elasticated at the hem which brings them inline with the sports luxe influence.

The shirt jacket usually designed and influence from a military stand. This lightweight version is a little bit different with its high collars and again the fly front to hide the zip. The trousers have a lovely detail of a printed turn up. The leather jacket is beautiful I love the raw edges and the zip detail. 

More sports luxe the hoodie in a textured printed fabric, wonderful colouring. The trousers are cut narrow and I like the drawstring detail. 

Wonderful graphics used on the tee shirt and also the same print used on the jacket. I love the bright red cardigan. The trousers are in line with the rest of the collection with the drawstring tie.

Amazing knitted blazer, my favourite item from the whole collection. I really love those collars or rather lack of. The shirt is lovely with those narrow collars and the trouser work really well with this whole look.

The knitted tee which there should be more of in the high street, I’m a huge fan. The pattern is just right for such a style. Those oversized trousers with the fly front detail are a great contrast in shape.

The bomber jacket as shown in all the collections this one has been done with a fantastic print, using gorgeous colours. Such a fantastic statement piece.

A fantastic version of a sleeveless shirt and I especially love the fastening to one side and the high collars such a wonderful look.

Emporio Armani SS17 – A wonderful collection of relaxed, luxury and soft tailoring. The sport luxe influence shown well throughout. I love the knitwear, the textures and the colours. The jackets have a simplicity about them, the fabrics used don’t need the garment to be over designed. The denim is lightweight but has a rich dark colour and that whole tonal navy is beautiful. If you are looking for the very best in luxury then this is a great collection to chose from.

Dsquared2 – SS17

Posted on by Umash

The knitted tank top – A classic, done with a real sense of attitude as you would expect from Ds2. Gorgeous deep red colour simply cut and then styled with those amazing chains around the neck and two sequin tapers imitating braces that hang slightly loosely down the front. The trousers are cut narrow and crop, they have huge turn ups added at the hem. The crease down the front of the trousers look like they maybe a pintuck to give them definition.

Who can resist such a fantastic denim jacket, I LOVE patches and the current trend seems set to continue. Some people say less is more but I say less is just less and with an outfit like this you need all those patches. This is what I need in my wardrobe. I love it….

A shirt jacket if you will but done slightly differently with a zip front. I like the mix of leather and khaki cotton, love the Safari type pockets and the red stripe just adds that edge to the whole look. Note the white stripe around the collar and also the waistband just adds another highlight.

Glam punk. I think we’ve established that real man do wear pink and that shirt with the button down collars is a classic and I love the styling of the sleeves rolled high up on the arm. The jeans are amazing, lots of different techniques used within the one item but nothing overpowers anything else. Now if real men can wear pink can real men wear sparkly high heeled boots?… Discuss…

These splattered bleach Jean are amazing, really loving this style, we have to see these being done on the high street. Simple check shirt, cut narrow and the short sleeves cut high on the biceps. A really well worked outfit.

A real mod style military jacket. Of course loving the patches the fly button front is a lovely detail. I like the textured knit worn underneath and that stone/pink colour works really well with the khaki. Those amazing ripped and bleached jeans again. 

The waffle texture in this cardigan is lovely and the same stove/pink colouring this is a real star item and one that would fit into my wardrobe well. Note the styling with the last 2 buttons on the cardigan undone, I really think that when worn casually you should never close those last buttons. Another pair of those bleach blotched jeans.

I cross breed – the leather biker jacket mixed with a bomber. Loving this style, the red tape used to add highlights to the jacket, great zip detail, finished off with those bomber jacket sleeves. Matched with those fantastic jeans as before.

More of the cross breeding with this blazer mixed with a classic denim jacket. I really like the detailing with the fastening and how the denim is used only on that panel, across the shoulders and collars. More of the red and white panels as highlights. The jacket then turns into a classic tailored blazer but then the arms are leather. 

Just give me more and more of that glam style. A proper sequin tuxedo blazer, satin collars no less. Lovely purple knit with that shiny thread. The jeans silver, metallic, shiny and gorgeous. This is a stunning outfit and full of modern glamour.

Well they have done the bleach blotched jeans so the matching jacket he to be here somewhere. What I really like about this whole effect is that neither the Blue nor the White over power each other which could easily happen. The biker pants also have a touch of military about them, that khaki mixed with the leather works so well and the red to really bring the whole look together.

I love camouflage, it’s something I buy every season and is now a real classic print in menswear. This bomber jacket is really cool. The camouflage itself has been scaled smaller then usual which allows a more even distribution of the colours. Really interning colour pallette for that matter, a light khaki, a sandy brown, a burnt orange and then that amazing burgundy. Well thought out look.

Another classic bomber jacket but this time a floral print. Again great colouring, more khaki as a base and such a great flower print. The ribs are cool in that marl grey. Love this jacket.

I picked this because of the styling used. I’m a fan of wearing two jackets and I always start off with a denim jacket as the base. This is something you really need to try and experiment with. Note the 2nd jacket worn just on the shoulders, exudes style.

Wow, an amazing re-work of the classic single button Navy blazer. Ok the button has been replaced with a zip, and I like the vertical zip next to those lapels. Fishnet which has had somewhat of a revival this years seems to be moving into the new season. The jeans are as before the addition is that kilt that is worn untied and just floats around the thighs. Gorgeous look.

 Can I start off with that Klit, done so well in that bleach bloat denim, just look at those pleats, fantastic. The Klit itself is then attached by a zip to the jacket that’s worn underneath. I like the whole look of a long line jacket worn underneath with a shirt jacket on top. It’s worth experimenting with, great style. The outer jacket itself is a re-worked baseball jacket with fantastic leather sleeves, wonderful zip detail. 

DSquared2 SS17 – Glam, glam, glam mixed with a little punk, a little mod, a little military and a little biker chic. This is a gorgeous collection. The denim is well worked with lots of great technique. The jackets have been cross bred with other styles with a mix of fabrics. All are well worked and coherent. The styling is feminine in its approach but masculine in its execution which is why it’s so glamorous. I love this collection, we must see those ripped and bleached denim on the high street as well as the use of more patches. The high street should also consider using different fabrics on the same jacket even if it’s just a leather sleeve.  Also take inspiration from the textured knits. Beautiful work from the brothers D.

Dondup- SS17

Posted on by Umash

The baseball jacket – lovely example of this style I really like the little touches such as the contrast colour slits to the pockets and also the stripe of green down the centre of the sleeves. The colouring is beautiful such a great shade of green mixed with that stone on the ribs the jacket works perfectly. The shade on shade with the jeans and top is balanced well. 

The shirt jacket – I love a good shirt jacket I’ve had many in my wardrobe and the colour I always seem to go for? Simple Khaki – the is a lovely version of the shirt jacket, I love the patch pockets with flaps and my favourite detail the epaulettes. The styling is interesting as the sleeves have been rolled up allowing the sleeves of that fantastic stripe jumper to be seen. Worn with simple black jeans.

Another shirt jacket this time with a little more attitude. The khaki is such more military then the softer version before. The buttons are a real feature. The classic rip jeans are just the right wash for this look. The styling is just right for this season as the shirt jacket has been tucked in and we’ve seen that look in many of this seasons show.

There are many people who believe that double denim should only be dark denim but I don’t believe that to be true at all. This light wash is lovely. The jacket is particularly well styled with the grandad collar and the added touch of wool. 

Double denim done with a selvage denim, loving that dark denim and the turn up always finishes of any selvage jeans. This version of the western jacket has been reworked, the single pocket is very angular and the classic double stitch detail is fantastic. Also note the small narrow collars.

I love my knitwear as you know and this textured knit is lovely. The jeans with the worn areas and that wash is fantastic with the bright red. It’s the use of the tuck in that is really something to consider in the the new season, I don’t think it will work with every outfit but it’s something to play around with.

A wonderful lightweight denim suit, now this is something I would want in my own wardrobe. Two button single breasted blazer, lovely soft tailoring with that slouched shoulder, not too narrow around the waist and great patch pockets. The bottoms again styled soft and easy. Loving the turn ups. 

Dondup SS17 – the is a wonderful softness in the tailoring and shape throughout this collection, very simple but well styled outfits. Beautiful palette of colours. I really like the tucked in styles, the shirt jackets and the denim suit is to die for. This is a collection that could be easily over looked yet is actually a real standout show.

Diesel Black Gold – SS17

Posted on by Umash

The Japanese kimono is fast becoming a statement jacket to have in every mans wardrobe and this one is a great example. Naturally done in denim the fastening tie sits higher above the waist then normal but that is countered by the fact that the jacket has been cut short and this creates a great balence to the shape. The sleeves have been cut just that little bit longer so the cuff sits around the wrists. A patch pocket for functionality. The skinny jeans are also styled with a longer length and I like the way the fabric bunches up at the ankle.

The kimono styling continues with the padded version worn underneath the two button single breasted cropped length blazer. These jeans are cut very wide and baggy, they remind me of the jeans we used to wear during the 90’s that came out of the Manchester music scene.

Ultra shiny nylon sweatshirt with that wide rib at the hem, I love it. It’s the sort of fabric you would more likely see on a anorak but it’s works so well here as a sweatshirt. The utility pants work really well with the top, love the styling with the press stud fly, lots of pockets and the regulation self fabric belt. Baggy and wide which is contrasted well with the slim cut top.

A rework of the jeans and blazer combo – let’s start off with the blazer, as before two button single breasted blazer, cropped in length. Lovely narrow lapels and the sleeves slightly longer then the norm. Now those amazing jeans.l like the extra fabric that bunches up at the ankles it’s a really cool style and those pockets… You can never have enough pockets, lovely classic yellow stitching only adds to the overall look.

Oversize – a wonderful utility styled jacket, love the mini candy stripe in black and the black patch detailing to add emphasis to the pockets. Other styling details are the elastic added to the waist just to give the jacket some shape and the those extra wide sleeves look really cool. The jeans are styled as before with the extra fabric in the leg, loving this look.

The shirt jacket – perfectly styled shirt jacket in leather. The epaulettes on the shoulders, the double pockets down the fronts, the extra long sleeves wonderfully put together. The nylon pants again styled wide and baggy, I think the single black colour holds the outfit together better then if it had been contrasted.

The bomber jacket or at least the Diesel version of the bomber – Missing the ribs on the hem and sleeves but we can live with that. I like the chest pocket as its styled like the pocket that normally sits on the sleeves, simple zip pockets on the front. Really well styled utility pants, loving the pockets, the self fabric tie and the extra length on the legs. The colour is fantastic and is perfectly right for this season.

Really interesting styling to,this sweatshirt where the front and back are in line with tradition and the the sleeves are like that of a shirt, also the usual rib on the hem is also absent. The shorts are long in length and wide, the pockets have been placed further down the leg. I love the belt and that stone colour is fantastic.

More of the single colour – this white on white is a real statement. The jacket is fantastic and I love the angled zip fastening and also the double pocket detail with the press stud fastening on the flaps, really cool. The trouser have lots of detail going on, the woven tape which has been stitched so to create little rings to hold a number of things and my favourite little trim the humble D ring. Love this outfit.

Another version of the crop kimono jacket this one has been made in a mini diamond padding design. The trousers has that seersucker stripe design and it works really well. The simpleminded white and blue looks fresh and cool.

The three quarter sleeve has really started to development in Memswear and I love the kimono styling of this sleeve it works so well with this sweatshirt. And also my favourite that wide rib hem. More of the seersucker stripe and I’m loving that self fabric belt.

Another fantastic padded jacket – great detail work with the zips note the extra fabric added to the zip puller. Sear sucker stripe again on the bottoms but this time done in a lovely red. Loving this style.

Saving the very best for last – fantastic padded jacket as before but it’s the colour, that nude colour is stunning. This is the jacket I want in my wardrobe. The trouser are baggy and wide and give a balance to the overall look.

Diesel Black Gold – SS17 – a really interesting collection with lots of fantastic details and styling. I love the kimono style jackets especially as they are crop in length. The padded jackets are beautifully done and have a built in delicacy about them as the stitching is small and close together. The bottoms have two basic styles the first is baggy and wide the second and my personal favourite is the narrow leg but with the extended length so that the fabric bunches up around the ankle which really is a cool look and something I really want to find on the high street. The colouring is simple and the standout being the nude and white combination. A really beautiful collection.
