'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
