How to work the trend into your daily wardrobe.
Printed shirts made a strong appearance on the spring runways. From florals and foliage to Hawaiian motifs, these printed shirts are an interesting new addition to any man’s wardrobe.
Four Ways to Wear Printed Shirts
THE POET
Wear your heart on your front pocket in Valentino‘s pineapple printed shirt.
Massimiliano’s advice: “This pineapple printed viscose satin shirt from Valentino fuses playfulness and poetry. The shirt is made with a silk shantung collar and features a Japanese poem by Matsuo Basho embroidered onto the front pocket.”
THE GARDENER
Gucci’s painterly floral printed shirt is on-trend and destined to become a classic.
Massimiliano’s word: “Gucci has been making an interesting style statement this year by mixing together the typical elements that separate mens’ and womens’ clothing. This pleated floral printed silk twill shirt gets its romantic allure from the rounded collar profile and unique grosgrain details.”
THE HAWAIIAN
Antonio Marras mashes together a patchwork of pineapples, gingham and stripes.
Massimiliano’s advice: “Antonio Marras has created a shirt with a unique bowling collar and floral Hawaiian prints mixed with different fabrics. The variation of patterns and textures in this patchwork cotton shirt vichy & linen shirt makes it great to mix with a wide variety of summer trousers.”
THE GRAPHIC ARTIST
A bold floral printed shirt by Marni creates a strong visual effect.
Massimiliano’s advice: “Marni is known for creating interesting patterns. This floral printed cotton poplin shirt offers a striking color contrast inspired by foliage. The boxy fit creates a 1950s feel, one of summer’s biggest menswear trends.”
