Without a doubt, Missoni is one of my favorite fashion houses. In the wintertime it's always sweater dressing and bundling up in layers of knits to last for weeks, and in the summertime it's always whispering the seductive words of clement breezes.

Before I go any further, take note of the runway shots themselves. The colors, the hair, the styling, the purposeful crumples of the textiles. One word comes to my mind: theraputic. It's not so scorching hot in Missoni land. It's perfectly balmy at 70 degrees with a touch of cloud and gentle gusts. The casual layering of key pieces for menswear is an obvious thing to do, but Missoni takes a step away from a slimmer silhouette for men and offers something retro, loose, and effortless.

I see these men strolling the streets of Saint Tropez and then jetting back into the city. Missoni offers a highly casual yet business smart look; something laid back yet incredibly city-wise. After all, no one wants to wear a full one suit in the summertime! No matter how sharp it is!

 Now let's talk about the cardigans. Or actually, we won't even talk about the cardigans because they're just that amazing. But we actually will because I have a big mouth. I'm adoring the geometric print used in very friendly colors. They're not specific to any season so they can easily be worn in the summertime and carried over into fall. Bravo, Missoni! Bravo!
