MILANO+PARIS+LONDON+FIRENZE+NEW YORK MEN COLLECTIONS S/S 2020

ummer 2020, the first of the new decade. Menswear is looking ahead to it with an idea of masculinity that is tender and sensual, romantic and languid, leaving aside formality and aggression in favour of an ease that affects the attitude and the shapes of the clothes. A certain is often accompanied by psychedelia, exotic touches and a Sixties and Seventies soundtrack, while sensuality, bordering on eroticism, is innate, with midriffs peeping out from under cropped and/or tiny tops, legs on show in some ultra-short shorts, bold eye-catching prints, some all-over, satin or sheer surfaces or shining with metallic details. In , modern hippies love nature and the sea. Water is their primordial, welcoming element, their ideal escape is towards the ocean and beach life is a permanent goal. They take on a sailor’s charm, altering his uniform in a thousand different ways, choosing the colours of the sea, the stripes and prints of waves, lobsters and other creatures of the deep. Wearing caftans and maxi-shirts, they often tend to overlapping and so also becomes a theme that composes their dreamlike universe, more feminine and romantic if it is about light clothes, as long as dresses, worn over soft trousers, more masculine and technical if they are urban and sporting items such as multi-pocket vests, T-shirts, bomber jackets and cargo pants.
