MICK JAGGER, PARIS,1966

MOVES LIKE JAGGER

Resurfacing from the rock-’n’-roll era of Mick Jagger is striped shirts. From an array of colour best suited to blue, navy, monochrome and all shades grey the trend can be worn in all shapes and forms. Push the boundaries to have fun with bright colours in masculine silhouettes and strong detailing. The result is an absolutely stylish, laid-back causal, yet cool look.
