London Fashion Week: Paul Smith AW16
Typically of Paul Smith, navy was a staple colour in the collection, offset with dusky pink, tangerine orange, grey, and simple - but strong – black pieces. The best looks of the collection – and one that seems to be lacking in womenswear - were the two-piece suits. Opening with a navy double-breasted blazer with matching trousers, a bold orange stripe right down the side, the show moved on to a cropped orange trouser worn with accompanying blazer and loafers, ‘70s-inspired navy suits and a grey herringbone piece perfect for office-to-bar.
This was smart, but in a very nonchalant ‘oh-I-wear-this-kind-of-thing-every-day-but-always-look-great’ way and it’s a look we look forward to emulating next season.
