The return of the softer leg and higher-waist pant continues to expand, reminding me of Cary Grant and Fred Astaire style, with double-breasted sportscoats and open-neck shirts. I am also feeling that color itself is influenced by the Pacific sunshine, Bel Air swimming pools, and Beverly Hills gardens. Warm ivory, bright white, sandy naturals, and Navy are part of the seasonal base palette with orchid pinks, coral pinks, ocean blues, olives, citrus tones, and terracotta, are part of the new seasonal palette used in creating solids and patterns across our categories. |

We, of course, have newness across every category and new fabrics from our wonderful mills, all referencing best-selling qualities and reflecting your updated needs and wants. As the season unfolds, you will see new products launch with a focus on knits with new color-blocking with new crest embroideries, crochet-style textured knits, capturing glamorous Hollywood style with hints of Art Deco graphics. For summer, watch out for some new playful shirt styling, including what I call 50/50 limited fabric combos, where the whole front panels are available in contrast for a more overt summery look, and the perfect addition to casual style. You may have already seen the embroidered front options we added in pre-spring in shirting as part of our ongoing effort to excite you with something completely new for your wardrobe. |

Our formal presence is strong as ever, helped by that golden-era influence, and we will focus on helping you plan for weddings and special occasions for the upcoming season. We will try to cover every type of wedding with the grey line between what is and isn’t wedding appropriate becoming ever more blurred, from formal to casual, part of the requests. Suiting for grooms, fathers, wedding parties, and invitees, ceremonies, and wedding weekends, we want you to feel confident in our year-round support in fabrics to have qualities always available, such as linen and linen blends, so no matter the season, you can confidently dress for any special occasion. |
