Burton have just released their new Spring/Summer 12 range of clothing for men which we have split into key trends, the first of which is the Mod Men and Modern Heritage collection of men’s suits.
Tailoring and formalwear takes inspiration from the Mod movement as the Mod Men trend comes into its own but adds a ‘laddy’ twist. Focusing on a slim and tailored fit the suiting for spring summer is sharp and clean and uses tonics and sheen to add a lustrous finish on suit fabrics.
A smart, fashionable silhouette ensures this trend lifts spring/summer tailoring and creates coolness worthy of British Mod’s. Shirts are clean with considered details and new collar shapes while the trousers become that little bit narrower. Key pieces include the single breasted, notch lapel, tonic, slim fit suit in a rich blue that is sure to break a few bridesmaids hearts come the summer wedding season.
For a slightly more traditional aesthetic the new Modern Heritage trend takes inspiration from Savile Row and Jermyn Street but gives a modern twist through up to date cut and detailing. The heritage influence can be found in the use of fabrics, with the Prince of Wales check arriving in a grey 3 piece that wouldn’t look out of place on the lawn at Brideshead.
Tailoring is all about attention to detail, from the overall silhouette down to the buttons and thread. With the resurgence of the summer prom and the obligatory outdoor wedding the need for a well cut suit this season is paramount.
