Spring-Summer months cast a ray of hope. They fill us with new energy and the power to move ahead with resilience, despite the difficult times. This year, we have charted out the suavest menswear designs that convey the joyful rebirth of the soul. While many of the collections are inspired by works of painters, some exude positive energy with a sporadic burst of colours and cool Caribbean vibes.
Pop up with colours
It’s springtime and we’re filled with a burst of energy as we come out of winter’s hibernation. To keep us revelling in this cheery spirit, Dior has joined forces with American painter Kenny Scharf for its Fall 21 Menswear collection. The artist is known for his surrealist work and pop culture caricatures and cartoons. One can clearly see how the collection has tapped on the acidic vitality, caricatures, cartoon images and surrealism to the birth a sci-fi world. In outerwear, this has resulted in the form of skin fit jeans, white denim shirts, adorable knitted shirts with cartoon imprints, silk jacquard shirts and much more that transports us to a realm of fantasy, as one can see from Dior’s campaign. Seems like fluid colours are back this season in menswear!

Reviving spirit of the sea
As we wrap our heads around exotic travel destinations for summer months, the breezy islands and beach locations flood our minds with dreamy plans. All we imagine is to pack our bags with lightweight, comfortable and airy outerwear. Turning our imagination into reality, Dolce and Gabbana has come up with its spring menswear collection 21 inspired by the spirit of holidays and pacifying sea. The collection is in a singular color scheme with dominant shades of blue transfusing with geometric designs and ancient art. Some of the best pieces in the collection include beach robes, a Hawaiian shirt with a printed scarf and majolica printed trunks to make you feel breezy!

Renewal of energy
The quarantine times of the pandemic has led many creative forces in the fashion industry to ignite creative ideas. While these trying times taught us the survival of the fittest, some fashion labels like MSGM were inspired by the positive energy of rebirth in these difficult times. This is reflected in its Spring Summer 21 menswear collection where MSGM’s creative director Massimo Giorgetti teamed up with Los Angeles based painter Seth Armstrong. This gave rise to a sportswear cum workwear collection that exuded hope and positive energy through colourful patchwork patterns. So if you wish to bet on breezy poplin shirts resembling a painted canvas or love pastel coloured shorts and pyjamas, then this one’s for you.

Electrify with graphic prints
Graphics and electrifying designing have become the musings of many designers as it looks snazzy. This time, Balmain has roped in Columbian singer Maluma to bring out a limited edition collection made for the modern man, replete with graphical imagery on its silhouettes. Some of the chic pieces in the collection include multicolour graphic printed shirts with music-related iconography, oversized cotton sweatshirts and cuprammonium shorts that you can look for this summer.

Smart and sporty
It’s a universally known truth that the French are the masters of exquisite craftsmanship in art and fashion while Americans love sports. Merging the two truths in a nitty natty way, Louis Vuitton’s (LV) artistic director Virgil Abloh created a pre-Fall 2021 collection under LV’s collaboration with National Basketball Association League (NBA). The ultra-cool collection in menswear is dominated by basketball iconography seen imprinted on the clothing and accessories. This collection celebrates the cultural contribution of basketball and its diverse characters, and the idea of relatability as a force of unity, said Abloh as mentioned on LV’s official website. Indeed, the collection has merged American sports with French heritage and ensued brotherhood. Some of the most statement pieces of the collection include quilted jackets, loose pants, hoodies with LV logo paired with shorts, bomber jackets and much more.
