COLOUR VISION
With the darkness of winter finally behind us, now’s the time to give your wardrobe a healthy injection of uplifting summer shades. Taking inspiration from the debonair dressers of Havana, menswear editor Ian Wright shows you how to work the season’s key colours

by revitalising versatile, lightweight suits with strong
colour combinations

An untucked, loosely
buttoned white shirt
and Panama hat lend a
classic summer suit
laid-back appeal

sunny shades. Think striking colour clashes,
complementary tonal looks and touches of texture. Just
add your favourite sunnies

Contrasting block colour works best with textured
pieces – a slub-finish shirt and waffle-knit sweater
add instant impact

THE LOOK
COOL, CALM, COLLECTED

a notch and make a subtle statement with softer
summer shades

Understated tone-on-tone blues feel fresh for summer;
a waistcoat makes for an offbeat layering piece
