The Hottest Trend for Spring/Summer 2009

Whereabouts S/S 2009

A new season is underway with trends that are bold, fun and full of character! This season is particularly very exciting as the trends are taking Menswear down a more formal road yet with that mix/match element to give it that twist rather than simply regurgitating trends of the past.

The biggest trend that will have an impact this summer will definitely be Nautical/ Yachting Club.

The key features:

T-shirts will feature horizontal stripes
Blazers will be predominantly Navy with either brass buttons or white lining around the lapels, sleeves and pockets
Light blue shirts with white collar and cuffs
Chinos/ Straight narrow fit stonewashed jeans
Boat shoes
Over-sized beanie hats

Nerdy tips:

To create that “twist” to your outfit turn up the cuffs on the blazer/shirt.
Also, roll up the chinos/jeans to create the ankle swinger effect
Buy some bright boat shoes

Inspirations:

Ralph Lauren, A.P.C ,Whereabouts, Black Chocoolate, Brooks Brothers & Agnes B

Blazers – Comme des Garcons (Junya Watanabe X Brooks Brothers),Whereabouts, Uniform Experiment, Bathing Ape, Visvim, Agnes B and vintage shops would work a treat
