Menswear Colour and Fabric Trends Spring/Summer 2023
We are leaving a time of contrasts, where our soul is constantly torn between two different aspects of reality, and the image of us we wish to show to others plays between truth and fiction, thanks to avatars and augmented reality.
Clothes express our personality, and fabrics tell this game of contrasts
POSITIVE
OR NEGATIVE
The theme of opposites moves around stark navy blue/ivory and black/ivory contrasts. It finds expression in corroded checks in polyester/nylon mixtures on double-face jacquard damask, clean edge discharge printing on young-taste cotton shirts and floral prints on fluid viscose t-shirts, refined cotton/polyester shirts.
NEW FORMAL
The new formal blurred patterns feature cool-wool jackets woven on a
jacquard loom. Washed out stripes on cotton/linen are the patterns of the new
suits and sports trousers. Fake plain polo shirts in jaspé cotton with subtle
neps and jacquard effects in linen mixtures create delicate light plays for
jackets and sweaters.
DELICATE TEXTURES
Textures of different kinds include seersucker imitation structures in
different tensions with wool and cotton mixtures, new honeycomb with ivory
marked outlines of the cells creating patterns and textures in knits. Slub
yarns emphasize the irregularities of recycled cotton in horizontal stripe
knits.
ACID GREENS
A touch of acid green decorates a classic stretch wool glen check paired
with pigment coated functional micro rip-stop fabrics. Flashes of energetic
colours illuminate seersucker shirts. Vivid colours tint pure nylon and wool
mixture sports knits with texture effects creating patterns and classic rugby
stripes. The new young taste jackets are now jacquard but in a neon colour.
TECHNO LOOK FOR URBAN WARRIORS
Functional fabrics in different interpretations range from woven to knit
fabrics: 3D knits in synthetic fibres, neon colour bonded fabrics, macro nets
and unusual honeycombs, abstract prints and ripstop intertwinings.
