Clothes don’t make the man, but they sure as heck reflect who he is. Knowing what you like and what fits your vibe comes from an inherent sense of knowing who you are and who you want to be. At Harvey Nichols—Dubai, the luxury store presents an excellent range of menswear options for Spring Summer 2021.
The utilitarian trend kicks into high gear with this season by storm with an all-round high function vibe. Brands such as Neil Barret and the infinitely cool Fear of God, offer some seriously shopable military undertones, dune hues and stand out key pieces with loose fits and exaggerated details.
Elsewhere bold colours, prints and a whole heap of textures are at the fore of the men’s collections this SS21 season, with graphic t-shirt being a particular in-demand item. High energy colours from Palm Angels and archival fabrics from Sacai are key picks for us from the store’s dedicaded menswear floor.
As we move into the hotter period expect to see a more casual vibe coming through with denims and oversized shirts to sport a playful look all season long.
But don’t just take our word for it. Below are four men who are making big career moves and now, thanks to Esquire Middle East and Harvey Nichols—Dubai, even bigger style ones…
