Wow… Just Wow… Simply stunning suit, beautifully cut two button single breasted, lovely big lapels, love the length of those sleeves and the shirt cuff showing – the trousers low waisted and flat fronted the straight leg going into a slight flare – wonderful colouring with the vivid red and the aqua blue shirt with the little people print incredibly stylish
The baseball jacket – Another of this seasons must haves and this is a fantastic version – note the contrast piping down the centre of the sleeves and I love those matching ribs – the velvet trousers have that wonderful pin tuck detail for that stay in crease look, flat fronted and crop in length and a simple straight leg cut adds to the simplicity of this outfit – the rib turtle neck top is styled tucked into the trouser another of this seasons style cues – the whole outfit is held together with a imaginative use of colour which aren’t traditionally matched but they do work together well.
The bomber jacket – Hot on the tails of the baseball jacket comes the bomber – unlike the usual one colour MA-1 Bombers this one has been done is a wonderful colour block of deep red, orange and a flash of fuchsia – note the contrast colour pocket on the sleeve – doubled up on the knitwear with the same rib turtle neck top worn underneath that textured high button cardigan also the same velvet pintuck trousers – wonderful colouring, a real mix of brights and contrasts.
This two button single breasted blazer is wonderfully cut, very sharpe, I like the 90 degree cut of the front hem the flaps on the pockets – note the darts on the front to bring in the waist, wide but sharpe lapels – the sportslux influence is evident with those bottoms – simple stripe panels down the side and an elasticated hem – the knitwear wouldn’t actually look out of place at Christmas but I love it – colours are matched and mixed and contrasted
The biker jacket – colour blocking has really become a big part of Menswear styling but it’s yet to make a big impact on the high street Menswear stores which is a real shame as it’s such a fantastic look – this biker jacket is a case in point – simple traditional styling but taken to the next level with the use of colour – something I would love to add to my own wardrobe – the jeans are low waisted and with a straight leg and the colour is contrasted well to that jacket – the blotched bleached effect is beautiful and makes for an interesting pattern – I love the turn ups to give the jeans that cropped styling
The Kimono – I love this look, the Kimono has the most wonderful print which has been taken to the next level just by making it a colour block – the colours chosen for the main body and trim are complimented well and the contrast of the red belt completes the outfit – the ruffle shirt is a style that has featured in a few of this seasons show and this is a wonderful example with the black to highlight the front and the cuffs – those trouser in this seasons Aqua colouring are wonderfully wide, patch pockets and the featured detail of the button fly really add to the overall look to this outfit
More of that sharpe tailoring – the patterned suit, single breasted blazer and those low waisted, flat front trousers – the cut is narrow and the whole style has a edge of Rock’n’Roll to it – instead of a traditional shirt the outfit has been styled with a knitted polo shirt in navy which is a perfect combination to go with the wine coloured pattern suit
Another gorgeous jacket to add to the others I this collection – beautiful deep jade colouring and not the cuffs turned up to allow even more of the sleeve of that wonderful V neck sweater to show through – the deep V looks wonderful on the knit – simple patterned shirt and those velvet pintuck trousers again
I’ve said it once but I have to say it again just Wow…. Stunning suit – this time slightly softer tailoring, the edge of the hem of that blazer is rounded the flaps on the pockets have been keep and so have the darts on the waist – the trousers are low waisted as before and have the great pintuck detail down the front – narrow cut to the leg and crop length – the contrasted stripe jumper is must have on its own – that salmon pink with the flecs of red slub I the fabric is beautiful
Let’s get back to that sportslux look – all done this time in a soft leather – the stripe seems to be a continuing theme into the Spring and Summer – note the drawstring to the waist and also the pintuck to the trousers – the neck rib follows on with the stripe and that brings the outfit together – more of that fantastic salmon pink which I just can’t get enough of – the styling has of course the jumper tucked into the waist of the trouser
Another beautifully tailored suit and using another colour of the same flec fabric as the salmon suit – this time a simple one button single breasted blazer – narrow lapels and rounded edges to the hem – lovely narrow trousers – dare I say it, more of that pick for the shirt which is a perfectly compliment to the grey suit – styled with that overcoat worn tied around the waist like a boy coming home after school – we all used to do it…..
Summer knitwear has always featured in my wardrobe – I’ve always loved florals as well so this is a great combination – those flowers contrasted with that oatmeal colour looks lovely and that deep V neck is a great style – the green and turquoise patterned shirt has the same colouring as the Kimono – the bottoms are the same as before just a black version
Chocolate… Who doesn’t like chocolate? Six button double breasted suit, the cut is narrow and held close to the body with large patch pockets with flap detail – the hem is cut sharpe and squared and the feature being those lovely cream contrasted buttons. The trouser are like the other suits flat fronted and cut straight in the leg going into a slight flare.
The western jacket – such a wonderful combination of a western jacket and trouser set – I love the contrast stitching and those wonderful big buttons – the colour is a lovely warm oatmeal which is sharpely contrasted with that Fuchsia turtle neck jumper – fantastic patterned shirt – note that the shirt is unbuttoned and the cuffs on the jacket are turned up for styling
If at any point it was ever in doubt that this collection draws a infleuntail thread from the 60’s, hippies and flower power then these jeans should put that thought to bed – the floral embroidery on tense jeans are beautiful and the placement has been well thought out as it doesn’t overpower the whole look – wonderful patterned shirt worm with those cuffs turned up at the end – more of that fuchsia in that fantastic rib jumper
Starting at the bottoms first the velvet joggers look fantastic and note that the joggers have been cut in panels which creates texture this is also the case for the pintuck detail down the front of the joggers too – chocolate and orange which is always a favourite culinary combination has been used to great effect on the jumper and that fuchsia stripe that runs along side is wonderful – that gorgeous statement jacket is stunning – loving the colours and those big black buttons
Bally SS17 – This is easily one of the standout collections from n this season. The tailoring is wonderfully sharpe and beautifully cut yet the shapes are simple and traditional. The influence of the 60’s comes into play with the use of colour and what amazing colours…. Orange, Fuchsia, Jade Green, Bright Red, Yellow and then you move onto those earthy tones of Navy, Brown, Oatmeal and Stone… Unconventional combinations but nothing at all looks out of place in fact it’s inspiring and there are combination I will be trying with my own wardrobe and look. Take time to look at this collection, find those pieces like the colour block leather biker or the Kimono… You don’t want to miss out in some amazing designs….
