The VELOUR by Nostalgi SS 2014 men's collection features sun-drenched hues, pervasive prints and subdued embroidery perfect for lounging on a yacht, tumbler of gin in hand. One of the most remarkable pieces in the collection is a superbly-made Étienne suit jacket, offered in a variety of colors. The jacket can be worn as a standalone piece, or with the matching Carel suit shorts for a more cohesive leisure look.
Velour by Nostalgi is a company that began by chance in 1997, after founder Per Andersson combed through the ready-to-wear shop owned by his ancestors. Inspired, Andersson started Nostalgi with some friends. After attracting critical attention, the store has evolved into a label, with their first independent collection launching in 2005. The rest is extremely well-dressed history.
The VELOUR by Nostalgi SS 2014 collection offers a polished look for spring.
