Simply Abu Dhabi Magazine XVII

2 1 7 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Summer Sailing Summer Sailing is a blue and white collection, with a hint of red. Bold, chunky knits with intarsia anchors and minimally branded polo shirts are the perfect uniform for time spent aboard the boat or around the marina. Jacquard fabrics add structure, while thick Arans and cotton/cashmere/silk mix knitwear add warm layering. Anchor buttons and fisherman-style metal hook fastenings are the final touches to the sailing theme. The main outerwear shape for the season is the Harrington parka, running through every part of the collection. Here it is super lightweight and reversible, coming in a whole spectrum of colours. Another signature piece is the new shirt fabric blazer, lightweight and cool for the summer; the combination of stretch fabric and modern cut makes the jacket unique and comfortable. Hackett denim is in a chino cut and there are two shapes – classic and very slim, both with a slight stretch. Ring-spun denim, dark Japanese selvedge and white are the colour options. Polo Picnic Hackett injects fun and an explosion of colour in a weekend centred around polo. The Polo Picnic is pictured as the fun Saturday afternoon getting ready to watch the match; a picnic on the grass in lightweight summer tweeds and thick Oxford cottons all in bright tones and floral and paisley patterns. Reversible cuff shorts revealing a contrasting fabric are new introductions within the collection, combined with a bright double breasted blazer and cotton polo; they make the perfect attire for a hot day at the polo grounds. Queen’s Tennis Hackett takes the collection to the tennis lawns and a seat courtside. Referencing Hackett’s sponsorship of the Aegon Championships at Queen’s, the main colour palette for the Queen’s Tennis collection is white, bone and cream. Navy and blue is injected in stripe and check blazers and signature outerwear pieces. Blazers and chinos are designed for the stylish spectators, while detailed polos, soft knits and classic cricket sweaters take the chill off on those cloudy courtside days. Stand-out pieces within the collection are beautifully constructed suede outerwear jackets, including a lamb suede Saharienne jacket that is a piece of true craftsmanship, along with a reversible suede/nylon blouson, which is perfect for the British changeable weather.
