Italian men’s casual wear label, MASH, has today launched their collection for spring-summer 2016. Easy, everyday, contemporary casual wear for the energetic, athletic man, MASH SS12 collection is a nostalgic 1950s Nantucket summer holiday story inspired by the retro American preppy style of the era.
Clean, simple, minimal lines set against a backdrop of bold pastels, the preference of the 1950s preppy style, the new collection features the classic preppy mainstays updated in slimmer more fitted silhouettes.
Pants include pastel pink chinos and Bermuda shorts, reminiscent of the faded “Nantucket Reds" popularized in the 1950s; in addition to classic denim blue, the five-pocket jeans are also presented in a pastel blue tone.
The classic polo shirt and fitted Oxford button-down shirts are key pieces in the collection, available in pastels, navy, khaki and micro-patterns. The look is completed with unstructured blazers and the college bomber jacket – a style icon of the 1950s.
MASH SS12 collection captures the spirit of the 1950s Nantucket holiday – retro and chic with a preppy edge – the perfect combination for the summer season.
Have a look at the collection.
