Men’s BAGS – canvas bags dominate the summer scene and the backpack leads the way forward. the roll top, or folded rucksack with a casual trim, is the top style with many other versions: bright technical, leather studded and fun graphics, which all add impact. other styles include totes with multifunctional straps and the briefcase in portrait and classic landscape shapes.
Women’s BAGS – the neat cross-body shoulder bag is a staple in either minimal single-colour or decorative finishes. totes are clean and roomy with multifunctional straps and backpacks are part of the athleisure trend in styles which are contemporary and practical. one of the latest trends is for softly structured bags in quilted or padded fabrics.
Men’s JEWELLERY – styling is a key factor and jewellery is often used to add a casual note to tailoring or to add a personalised look to athleisure styles. beaded and woven bracelets are stacked into a thick cuff, rings are big and designs are either vintage, with semi-precious stones, or have a contemporary look in polished metals. pocket chains are an important addition to tailored suits or casualwear.
Women’s JEWELLERY – statement earrings are dominating the jewellery scene. ear climbers, jackets and cuffs stand out on their own while mismatched pairs are moving forward in coordinated looks mixing shape or playing with colour variations. the latest chain necklaces are super delicate with tiny charms, long body chains that curve around the body or bold styles with hi-impact pendants.
Men’s FOOTWEAR – the classic trainer has evolved into a stylish year-round staple with updated vintage types and high-end investment styles. designer collaborations have added innovative design ideas and elevated the materials. slip-on styles and pool shoes fuel the trend for relaxed footwear that is styled with casualwear or makes a hi-low statement with tailoring.
Women’s FOOTWEAR – fashion forward summer styles include the elevated pool shoe with fur, fringes or decorative additions, tailored footwear with sporty soles and low-top trainers in black/white contrasts or white/white versions. sandals are predominantly flat or with slightly elevated platforms and straps are a key feature, cut into curves or criss-crossing along the foot.
Men’s HEADWEAR – hats are a popular accessory for men, casual staples include the baseball cap, updated with textured branding or tech details, the bucket hat in all-over prints and crushable straw Panama and trilby styles. tailored looks are dominated by traditional flat caps, newsboy shapes and variations on the Panama. straw berets, shrunken bowler styles and flat pork pie styles bring the look forward.
Women’s HEADWEAR – updates include neat straw hats with crafted or patterned bands, open-back caps or sunhats and crushable Panama-style hats. fabric hair ties and turbans are casual summer staple in bright prints or metallic fabrics. key shapes moving into transitional are felt caps with indents on the crown and small trilby style with a cloche-like fit.
