Spring 2012
Cinematic masculinity
For spring 2012, Matinique explores the nonchalant elegance of movie icons such as Cary Grant and Steve McQueen. Men who merged the easiness of American sportswear with the elegance of British tailoring and helped shape the modern man in the process.
A grey chambrey blazer with white contrast stitches is an understated wardrobe-stable when the sun hits the streets again. Wear it with a crisp blue shirt and a pair of slim fitted five pocket pants in light blue, kaki, grey or green. A versatile look which takes you from the boardroom to the bar without compromising your style.
Suits are created with a strong attention to fit, details and materials. A navy cotton suit with bone buttons looks contemporary and sporty when worn with a chequered shirt, while an understated pattern lends an easy vibe to a fitted suit in grey wool.
Knitwear is about classic silhouettes with modern details. Cardigans are available in solid colours such as light blue, green and melange as well as a combination of navy, red and white. Wear them with a suit jacket and a pair of grey jeans or choose a shawl-collared cardigan with wooden toggles, which looks great with a biker jacket in brown leather and a white t-shirt.
This season’s outerwear is all about timeless designs with contemporary appeal. The Mac looks modern in bonded cotton and the fitted trench coat adds a touch of refinement to a casual wardrobe. An olive hooded jacket in coated cotton is perfect for the change of seasons, while a quilted black nylon jacket adds a touch of biker-cool to both jeans and chinos.
The Spring 2012 collection from Matinique celebrates the nonchalant masculinity and elegance of the ultimate male icons of 60ies cinema. It’s a casual collection with a timeless appeal.
