Essential Summer Style Trend: All White

White jeans have long been the butt of fashion jokes in this city. Unfairly seen as the reserve of Sloaney ponies or euro-trashy jet setters, but it is time to put the stereotypes to one side gents, as this season sees a total white-out coming your way.

FROM RUNWAY…, The runways were overflowing with dapper looking models cruising down the catwalks in full on white; from head to toe. Among the best of the bunch were the likes of Armani, Berluti and Dolce & Gabbana. Break it up with a flash of a pale blue shirt collar, or coloured linen scarf for the perfect summer sophistication.

TO WARDROBE…, We’ve taken the hard work out of finding the best whites for you with these picks of a few of our favourite white pieces for the spring-summer season. Less Posh & Becks circa 2003, more elegant man of leisure and luxury.
