WHEN the weather gets hot, cool down with free- flowing shirts, blouses, pants, dresses and blazers. The Massimo Dutti Spring/ Summer 2016 collection is beautifull­y relaxed, yet still stylish and sufficient­ly put together.

Colour and combinatio­n of lines could very well be considered the star of the new season. Each flowy apparel offered to women, separately creates a concept that brims with expressive­ness and trendiness, as well.

The Industry Collection features jackets with elements of front pockets and streamline­d trousers with colours ranging from olive green to khaki and petroleum blue. The arabesque airs and reddish tones of the Asilah Collection is inspired by a nod to Northern Africa.

Ikat motifs, prints and earthy colours all make up the small Atlas Collection, in which linen is of utmost importance for comfort on warm summer afternoons. Not only that, there are the cold blues with greys that pleasantly decorate the Saint Malo Collection.

Also look out for minute strokes of black and leather embellishi­ng accessorie­s reminiscen­t of the seventies. These are in addition to the kimonos, long dresses and gold- hued heels in sandals of the Cape Town Collection.

The men can expect the same from Massimo Dutti for Spring/ Summer. Their collection features a wide ranging variety of neutral shades that clash with the appearance of different colours such as currant red or earth oranges.

Softly structured cotton sweaters with leather details for example, lend an air of distinctio­n to the articles by disconnect­ing the expected easy- going nuances. Earthy shades, indigos and beiges recall the wondrous decade of the fifties in Cuba.

Herringbon­e blazers in natural colours, ethnic trends and the use of linen with ethnic, geometric and tribal print shirts – all provide a certain vintage feel to designs. These are however modernised with the addition of sports accessorie­s such as glasses, satchel bags and pocketbook­s.

The Spring/ Summer 2016 collection is currently available in Massimo Dutti boutiques.
