'The functional appeal of olive green is of course closely related to the perennial importance of military influences, and almost without exception this colour direction was used in conjunction with updated uniform- or utility-inspired shapes.'

Shirt Jackets'

This category has come into its own on the catwalks and across the wider menswear market recently, bridging the gap between heavy work or military shirts and lightweight jackets, making it a versatile commercial piece that easily ties into the perennial utility and outdoors trends.

'Shirts and Casual Tops'

'Tunic Shirts'



The move towards an easier, less restrictive silhouette is confirmed with this trend as the casual tunic shirt or tunic top replaces more conventional shirtings. This is a directional new look that works for both wovens and luxe handles such as leather and suede, with minimal detailing bringing a casually understated mood into play. 
Key colours: black, white, shades of grey and neutrals 
Key fabrics: cotton twills, leather, suede, brushed or felted wools, lightweight flannels
