Get ready to hang up those hats and pack away your thermal layers , Spring will soon be around the corner so be prepared to dig deep into your closets as its going to be out with the old and in with the new . This coming Spring / Summer season is going to be all about embracing your inner child and becoming the perfect gentleman .
The return of your childhood will leave you reminiscing about the good old days , think bright colours , childlike prints and backpacks big enough for the first gameboy . The declaration of youth was common throughout many labels on the catwalk this coming season with Bobby Abley ’ s models dressed in childlike prints and teddy bears strapped to their backpacks . For the more rebellious child Katie Eary and Matthew Miller both referenced skater chic in their collections using bright oranges , pinks and energetic prints .
If teddy bears and skateboards aren ’ t your style , never fear , for the more sophisticated gentleman in you will delight at Spring ’ s next big trend . Chivalry isn ’ t dead and gone are the days of baggy trousers and hooded jackets , its time to cater to the woman in your life and to put those grungy black sneakers back into storage . Tailored suits and dapper accessories will be bang on trend for Spring / Summer 14 . Hackett London ’ s new collection primarily features white , neutral and pastel colored suits accessorized with striped ties , polka dot vests and checked bow ties influence by the work of 1960 ’ s photographer Terry O ’ Neill , and not forgetting Hackett ’ s reputation for impeccable headwear , straw boaters were seen on the brands catwalk . For a more modern take on the trend , white lace and floral prints were seen at Alexander McQueen whilst metallic yellow and navy pinstripe accessories were the main focus at E . Tautz .
