TREND OF THE WEEK: MENSWEAR

Kick back with some easy breezy summer style.

Inspiration

Lazy summer days inspire equally laissez-faire fashion.

Think sporty separates this season with a ‘50s Americana edge. Cagoules, Harringtons and airy parkas define outerwear with roll-up chinos and mesh slip-ons perfect beach partners.

The redux of archival Hawaiian and Aloha prints make for retro flair capped off with a smooth Sinatra-style trilby.

Style Notes

* Embrace your opposites. Pair a buttoned-up polo and blazer with tailored shorts and desert boots; or make like a Miamian with a roll-up linen trousers and soft suede moccasins.

* Feeling sporty? Mix up a bright parka or bomber with failsafe chinos.

* Hawaiian shirts are big news this season. Temper the print in a neutral tone for a more fashion-forward; less’ fashion tourist’ look.

* Punched leather and woven mesh make for perma-cool footwear. Try them in a slip-on or sneaker for extra style snaps.
