A summer's day in the Hamptons. Pleasant temperatures, a brilliant blue sky, golden sand, a light breeze.
Many strong colours, scents and impressions stand out.
The thought of work slowly fades away and the weekend begins "far from the madding crowd". Depending on how long he is going to be on the island, the New Yorker puts together the clothes he needs for further business appointments, sport or relaxation.
This is the thought that the current windsor.men collection is concerned with:
from the perfectly fitting business suit right through to the relaxed casual look. The important thing is always to look authentic, distinctive and not dressed up. Not to be under pressure to follow the latest trend, but to present oneself in a self-confident and assured manner.
BLUE
The first colour theme reflects the freshness and vitality of the colour blue in all its variations. Nuances from navy blue to gleaming royal blue and all the way to soft pale blue are shown. This colour theme is combined with a lot of white and a muddy-grey shade, which produces a very manly mix, rich in contrasts.
Accessories such as printed silk or linen pocket handkerchieves brighten up the formal look.
BEIGE
The second very summery theme shows off the colour beige in all its facets.
Pale sandy shades or camel through every tone to cool dark brown are combined with the contrasting shades of white and brilliant saffron orange, which are also found in the accessories or as part of individual fabric patterns like overchecks, herringbones or stripes. These are worn with washed linen shirts in pastels and light colours. Polo shirts with contrasting collars made of striped cotton jersey.
STONE
The third colour theme presents a very elegant, cool colour range. Chalky pale grey, tones of mid- and dark charcoal are combined with a lot of white and a rich deep grass green. Light suits in cotton, creped wool or wool-silk mixtures are shown in this third colour theme, making it on the whole a formal theme, but interpreted with a light touch.
Fresh linen scarves in various colours and patterns plus textile belts made of cotton or tie fabrics round off the picture.
In summer 2012 there is great variety in the fabrics too, such as colour ranges to match the theme, or different types of surface. Strong and robust types of cotton for jackets and short coats, super-light wool-silk mixtures for the summer suit, and shirt fabrics for sports jackets and trousers.
Washed single or double-breasted jackets in fresh contrasting colours with unusual accessories. New blazer styles in high-twisted woollen materials as a counterpart to the jersey jacket. Extra-light sports jackets made of wool-Cashmere-silk or "Two Tones" in wool-linen mixtures. Casual suits with highest quality workmanship. Half linings are very important for this collection and naturally a big topic right now.
Washed and overdyed trousers in new designs in cotton or mixtures.
In the jersey collection there are not only mercerised t-shirt materials but also summery sweatshirts in the shape of baggies and hoodies with high quality details.
The leather collection also reflects the high values and distinctiveness of the collection. In summer 2012 windsor. men shows summery velours with shepherd's check fabric prints for jackets and blousons, unlined jackets with coloured reverse side and blazers lined with jersey.
Masculine knitwear models in casual cardigan style or compact jackets made of cotton or cotton crepe, or in the luxurious version cotton-Cashmere or wool-silk.
The cut of the collection is more close-fitting. So that there is no need to sacrifice comfort, there is also a "Comfort Fit" option in the windsor.men collection. In all the models with this excellent label elastane has been added and provides the greatest possible comfort.
