The DAKS Gentleman proved to be an amalgamation of all things chic. For it's S/S13 collection, the palette was unusually autumnal with swathes of soft sable, bright maple orange and graphic greys and black, but nevertheless the clothes boasted a sense of late Augustan sun- the last cycle of the summer when people are finally going back to their jobs after months of solar frenzy. DAKS dictated that topless surfer boys are now out of season and in its place, a gentleman who knows how to wear a top hat. Though the silhouette is sleek and tailored to fit, the jackets were not too restraining (case in point- that puff-sleeve bolero). Prints were also kept simple with gingham, polka dots and pinstripes, enough to give the ensembles another dimension. The look was part Yves Saint Laurent, part Brad Goreski- fusing classic style with modernity that is also wearable and not too austere. Although I must say, look at that show-stopping white ensemble! Talk about suave.
