While the entire S/S '16 season has been about volume and relaxed fabrics, the Etro Men's Spring '16 Collection boldly stands out with exaggerated jacquard patterns and slim silhouettes.
Utilizing a vibrant color palette, this collection features narrow trousers, knee-length jackets and a variety of suits in abstract shades and hues. Robin's egg blue and dusty ochre are just a few of the colors used with eccentric patterns such as tribal print, organic shapes and the brand's signature paisley print. Various garments within this collection feature a shimmering surface shine. The shirts glisten with iridescent threads and a slight touch of lame as well as metallic squares.
The Etro Men's Spring '16 Collection is clearly for the experimental man unafraid of pose patterning and bright colors.
