Oliver Spring/Summer 2014 is simply beautiful and what most men would want to be wearing in spring and summer. I am in love with the collection...sorry...i am obsessed with the collection.

Just like the Berluti Spring/Summer 2014, Oliver also offers clothes with happy and clean colors that would make any man look absolutely classy, chic and fit for the season. The pop of color used in the look book for the campaign is absolutely amazing, i wouldn't personally care if i walked down a restaurant wearing exactly what was shown on the campaign advert... i mean what is there to change? if it is already 101% flawless.






People would obviously say, "Shut up Douglas, there is nothing special, you probably blogged about it because you have a big and undeniable crush on Yiorgos Karavas."
Mmmh...well...i mean, yes he gorgeous but honestly the focal point here is the collection. What i love about it is the whole mix of casual and formal together, a person owning this wouldnt be seen awkward wearing the pieces at night or during the day. What makes this my prefered spring/ summer collection compared to Berluti is the fit of the clothes, i know how rediculous it sounds but hey, can't i make a personal opinion? oh well.

I am not so crazy about the shoes, they are what i have been seeing a lot over the past years, they are ideal for the summer feel but i guess they are way too common for us  to be wowed about them...RIGHT???. So for Berluti two tone shoes, they had their A-game there.






For all the fashion lover's, my handsome men, if you were sick and i was your doctor, this would be the prescription i would give you. It's not too much and not too less. For all lovers of style that comes with a pinch of elegance and simplicity, S.Oliver Spring/Summer 2014 is a collection dedicated to you.

Today its all about knowing how to make a statement with little things. Sometimes it's not always about putting on that outfit from the latest collection or having the most trending hair cut that your best celebrity was seen wearing. There is more to style than just looking good or trendy.

I believe style is all about individuality. There are little things you can add up to your outfit that will make you different from the rest and i guess that is what keeps fashion interesting and good for the eyes to see. For instance, on a rainy day, you could be wearing the most trending jacket but something so little as a stylish umbrella could make you stand out from the rest of the men.

                                                                   Stylish Umbrellas.
 Well, the image above should not necessarily be what you consider stylish or what your style is, but the point is that, if you see the importance of style and being a stylish man then little things that we ignore could actually make a difference and channel your individuality.

Statement Watches.
I have come across a lot of them in different blogs. They are usually of unique design, bold and very expensive. But what makes a statement watch different from the usual ordinary watches that we are used to is the craft that it is made, the distinct look of the design and its status.

As i said earlier, they are yes beautiful, stylish, and expensive so investing on one could be better than owning five that would live you struggling for your next rent payment.

Stylish Masculine Bracelets.
I guess the reason i called them masculine is because a lot of guys i met hate the idea of having anything on their wrists which doesn't tell time. Masculine bracelets are designed focusing on the definition of masculinity and even the materials used are those that i could call "Guy Friendly." Most of these bracelets are made of leather, metal or combination of both. I think these are little essentials needed in spicing up your style and pulling forward the individuality in it.

The collection is simply clean, sophisticated and dapper than dapper...i mean, seriously! it is absolutely everything a man would want to have in his wardrobe.

Saltori, the genius behind all of it drew his inspiration from French men worker's uniform which were made of cotton drill made out of Japaniese indigo cotton yarn that had been bleached before woven and dyed.

The collection features easy on the eye fabrics with enough colours to make the rainbow shy. Saltori also pairs the clothes with two tone shoes inspired by the French Municipal workers of the mid-twentieth century.

The lookbook below is for you to draw the elements of style from this collection and hopefully spice up your selection of outfits and color coordination for this spring. Enjoy!
