GiorGio ArMAni A more relaxed silhouette and cosmopolitan touches feature in this Spring/Summer Collection 2019 by Giorgio Armani, in which the double- breasted jacket is the absolute protagonist. This iconic piece of men’s fashion distanced itself from the formal rigour of the classical cut, and has become more versatile, affirming itself as the essential garment in the wardrobe of contemporary man. different patterns and different fabrics made Giorgio Armani's double-breasted suit suitable for all kinds of outfits for the upcoming season: from the more formal to the sporty look, even wearable on the beach. This double-breasted jacket is slightly oversized, and the shoulders highlight these new dimensions. Underneath, a pair of wide-bottomed trousers, marked by turned-up hems, complete the outfit. The collection has other interesting pieces, such as the waistcoat, in a more casual version, that replaces the crew-neck sweater. The general image is that of an urban gentleman with a certain nomad appeal. The accessories of straw hats, leather espadrilles and fedoras are matched with the gaucho-style pants and suede safari jackets. Armani prefers lighter shades in its colour palette, from chalk white to hemp grey, with accents of turquoise, jade green and powder blue. The clean contours and subtle colours create the elegant naturalness behind Giorgio’s idea of menswear for Spring/Summer 2019.
