Brothers Summer 2009 – Style Guide
Swedish label Brothers wants to make sure you stay out of the tempting summer style rut of a t-shirt and shorts, all day, everyday. In doing so, they present their Style Guide, which provides enough looks to keep you looking fresh, whether you are “on the terrace in town or at sea.” As summer is an appropriate season to dress in relaxed, more casual attire, the options here don’t get too formal. There is a wide assortment of fitted blazers, that can be dressed up with a tie and corresponding suit pants, or down with an open collar, shorts and tennis shoes. Brothers is also a proponent of the summer scarf and the harder-to-pull-off ascot, here worn to give some extra punch to a plaid Western shirt. Classic polos feature a ship’s steering wheel embroidered on the chest, and aviators, the warm weather staple, are oversized and dark-tinted. The brand even allows some t-shirts to slip in toward the back. For a closer look at the Style Guide, see more pictures after the jump. Don’t forget your pocket square.
