Casual Day
STRIPES AND CHECKS ADD MUCH-NEEDED
COLOUR TO WEEKEND WEAR
While it doesn’t move at the same pace as women’s fashion, menswear does show some seasonal changes especially in casual collections.
Denim is strong with a variety of finishes, including faded skinny leg styles and straight leg jeans with an aged quality or a “distressed” finish that makes them look like they’ve been worn for years.
Sporty slim-fitting tees, logo tees, and hooded sweats are all popular, while elements of winter’s college style are continuing such as vests and zip-front knits.
For those heading out to lunch this Fathers Day (Sunday, September 6) – or keen to snap up a fashionable gift for the occasion – try some colour with a striped or checked shirt in shades of green and blue.
1 Vests have made a comeback in women’s and men’s fashion collections and are a practical solution to office heating. For weekend wear, they can be teamed with a T-shirt for a more casual feel. Striped shirt ($89.95), black pants ($109.95), vest, from Tarocash
2 For those seeking colour, green/blue shades are a fresh option. Striped shirt ($59.95), from Connor
3 This zip-front knit appeals to all ages because it can be worn as a classic or given a tough edge. It features a hood as well. Avatar T-shirt ($30), Premonition check shirt ($110), G-star hooded knit ($240), from Carbon
4 Checked fabrics have been popular this winter and look set to continue through spring. Jeans ($59.95), check shirt ($44.95) and T-shirt ($25), all from Ed Harry
5 Layering is a key look in any fashion story. The lightweight jacket is ideal for transeasonal wear. Stray jeans ($99.99), T-shirt ($49.99), check shirt ($79.99) and black jacket ($129.99), from Roger David
