Jonathan Saunders' Spring/Summer 2013 line is well fit for a dapper gentleman. The Scottish designer has been lauded for his [sophisticated menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-stuff), and he has here delved further into the fashionable niche.

Prim and proper are the words that best describe this collection. Thick, belted jackets are paired with sleek leather oxford shows. Buttoned up cardigans and [structured suit pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026) stand out on the racks. Best of all are the medley of vibrant colors, placing light blues, forest greens and mahogany tones next to one another.

These groomed and customized pieces are also [ready-to-wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein). In contrast to most couture collections, this Spring/Summer 2013 offering is practical for daily wear. The pea coats and fitted shorts can be worn for the purposes of trips, lunches and even office outings.
