TREND TALK TEXTURING THE SUMMER SEASON Mr Harssh Chheda, Founder and CEO, Corporate Collars, decodes the fashion trends for men to explore this summer. Fashion and summer don’t always go hand in hand for men, hence looking good becomes easier when the temperature drops. One can let one’s inner lumberjack shine through and chances are that one might be a change-maker during the winter, but summer is a different story as it leaves one with a few clothing options. Nevertheless, men can still slay the look by being mindful of their choices to achieve the flawless, up-to-date look, whether they want edgy, athletic, rugged or anything in-between. This is the season they can up their grub game like never before. As the weather is starting to get warm, one’s attire aids to keep it cool. Following is the sartorial guide to ace the summer look. 84 I APPAREL I April 2019 SOOTHE WITH SAGE Sage is one of the preferred hues which will be ruling the men’s closet this season. During summer, this hue will be in the vista in the form of sage chinos paired with a shirt which can be any of the following neutral colours—beige, white, charcoal black, etc. One can also experiment by picking a sage-coloured shirt to go along with beige or any basic-coloured chinos. A sage-coloured suit will be a win-win for those sublime and formal evenings, adding all the stars to one’s demeanour. The basics in one’s closet can never go out of fashion, but that does not mean that there could not be any new entries. Sage will be the new grey at formal gatherings, allowing one to stand out from one’s colleagues.
