During a heat wave in July, White is not just a style statement, but an intelligent strategy.
Enter ‘The Perfect Match’, a new capsule collection by Brunello Cucinelli, which was created exclusively for Harrods and started this weekend at the helicopter of the business with style.
Although the processing from head to toe is not white, it channel the same sun-friendly elegance-crisp, clean and quiet luxurious.
Inspired by the grace of Wimbledon and by the long-standing partnership between the brand based in Solomeo and the Harrods plays the contrast: sport and style, tradition and modernity, relaxation and refinement.
The influence of tennis is in cotton-polo shirts with striped collars, soft cable knit vests and tailor-made Bermuda shorts clear-jewels in tones, which range from optical white to the ivory and chalk.
The genius of Cucinelli lies in pale tones with subtle texture and deep white paired with cloud gray nylon pants, a stone-colored blazer over a pearl t-shirt or a pure silk luxedo cutter, which are only shy in front of cream.
It is understatement, but made artistic.
The key to wearing a lot? Play with fabrics, not just with shade.
Think of crispy cotton against Slubby Linen or Mattes jersey next to the silk mouth – it is this contrast that keeps your outfit, flat or worse, you look like the man from del Monte.
Another multi-year tip is to ensure the outfit with details about anchoring-a discrete logo, a tailor-made waistband or a well-placed accessory to avoid that they have literally hiked in front of the Center Court.
The men’s clothing in ‘The Perfect Match’ is built for movement and lightness – cashmere in spring weight, liquid cuts and clean lines that work everywhere from the boardroom to the beach.
Cucinelli, known for a long time as a “philosopher king” of Italian fashion, believes that dressing attracts well.
And that’s elegance that thrives in the heat, not among them.
