Whilst this is a look which could appeal to all fearless men, it’s a trend that could be of particular interest to those who don’t have to wear suits day-to-day in their working life. Why not opt for something bolder and more daring on the occasions where tailoring is a must? It can help you make a more memorable impression and stand out from the crowd, for all the right reasons. There are two main options when considering more colourful, eye-catching tailoring this season: block-colour and patterns/prints. Both were featured prominently by fashion designers at the various SS13 fashion weeks. Two of the biggest designer proponents of block-colour tailoring were Gucci and Paul Smith. Everyone from Cerruti 1881 and Massimo Dutti to H&M and Topman are featuring bold statement tailoring within their current look books and campaigns. Both high fashion and high street collections are clearly showing a preference for more adventurous colours and patterns when it comes to tailoring. Just how bold are you willing to go?
