10 Italian garments for spring and summer

Spring and summer are very style dominated months in the Italian wardrobe, with never ending types of garments for all occasions and weather. Always with the smallest detail in mind, but still focus on the relaxed Italian attitude towards all situations in life. Short-sleeved shirts in tasteful colours to light jackets, jackets and light trousers. A wardrobe that is also easily integrated with other garments you already own. Let a measure of Italian luxury enhance the feeling in your everyday attire.

Light Suede Jacket

A suede jacket in a light beige colour is ideal for the majority of situations and it’s easy to combine with other light colours. This jacket from Italy’s Brioni is a type of hybrid. The sleeves are made from wool and the rest of the jacket from suede, which not only creates nice contrasts but also makes it very comfortable to wear.

Sneakers with Patina

A pair of white sneakers in another vintage. Venice based Golden Goose has with its casual view of an already casual shoe made it easier for you to get to a lovely patina. The Stardan model was made in honour of 1990s basketball icons.

Black Sunglasses

Gucci needs no introduction, but for those of you who want to improve your knowledge of the brand’s history, we recommend watching the film: House of Gucci. When it comes to sunglasses, we have chosen a stripped-down version made from glossy black acetate with only a small, discreet logo on the temples.

White Chinos

We can assure you that these white chinos from Ermenegildo Zegna work with everything in this list. Combine them with other light, natural colours or break off with a touch of green, blue or black. That you should not wear black shoes to white trousers is a myth that has long been buried.

Short Sleeve Shirt

Massimo Alba are masters of casual garments which can also feel formal. We have chosen to show a military green, short sleeve shirt made from a Japanese, knitted cotton terry. Made in Italy.

Unstructured Blazer

If there is something that Boglioli are specialists at, then it is the unstructured blazer. We have chosen a blazer made from a linen and cotton fabric with a discreet chequered pattern. Breathable and comfortable to wear together with a polo shirt or a linen shirt.

Ice Cotton Polo Shirt

The polo shirt can be worn in many different ways and it is a very versatile garment. Wear it together with a pair of shorts or swim shorts for a more formal feel, or together with an unstructured blazer to bring down a formal look. The polo shirt above is made from an Ice Cotton, which is a twisted cotton yarn which is finely knit through a special technique to create a strong and lightweight fabric.

Linen and Silk Scarf

Even spring and summer have cold days, and a scarf is easy to put in your pocket or in your bag. We have chosen a scarf made from a linen and silk blend with a paisley pattern in summer colours, from Etro.

Linen Overshirt

We return to Massimo Alba, and this time we will focus on an overshirt made from 100% linen. The walnut colour makes it easy to combine with other light coloured garments and the guru collar makes the garment more interesting.

Linen Shirt

There is perhaps nothing more comfortable to wear on a hot day than a linen shirt. We have chosen one in a nuance of light grey from Finamore Napoli, and we advise that it should be worn a size up, to create a more relaxed fit.
