After being voted Menswear Brand of the Year in the influential Drapers magazine, Remus Uomo is a brand deserving to be on the style radars of any fashion-focused male. Summed up as being 'Understated Sophistication', Remus Uomo has set about recruiting an ever-loyal following for the brand's contemporary take on trend-led tailoring and modernist casualwear.

Remus Uomo's Spring/Summer 2017 collection rubber-stamps its contemporary design-led personality with a collection that takes inspiration from travel and the natural world. Tropical and fine floral prints are a recurring theme across the collection, appearing as all-over prints on shirts as well as more subtle references through trims and details in tailoring.

With the line between formal and casual blurring, this summer's tailoring options are lighter in weight and softer in silhouette. Jackets from this season's suits collection - featuring contrast trims and standout buttons - have been designed to look as great with a pair of summer chinos and sneakers, as well as part of the suit. A fashion-forward palette of summer blues, sand tones, light greys with stone shades are highlighted with orange, berry tones, cool green, pastel pink and powder blue contrasts. Famed for its texture-rich fabrics, Remus Uomo introduces slug-effect knitted cotton T-shirts and new fine yarn structures in knits. Linen and cotton comes through in the sartorial collection as well as tailoring fabrics with interesting surface textures.

Of course, it's not all about colours and tones, a great garment is as much about fit and functionality than it is about the look. On the fit front, Remus Uomo is neatly tailored and form-fitting. An emphasis on lightweight and elegant fabrications delivers a line-up of styles which are fitted with enough breathing room and beautifully draped rather than looking stretched. Perfect for the summer social season, Remus Uomo provides plenty of opportunities to amp-up your sartorial flair and channel your inner Gatsby as the long and balmy evenings stretch out. Team-up a lightweight linen blazer with a sporty knitted polo shirt and a clean-lined pair of slim-fit chinos to deliver a look that is elegant yet also casual.

The tailored jacket with matching trousers remains a big story for this season's collection. Whether it is a smart two-piece suit combined casually with a T-shirt and a pair of trainers, or a more classic three-piece suit with a slim fit waistcoat revealing a silhouette developed to take its wearer from the boardroom to the dance floor. Given that tailoring remains an anchor for the modern male wardrobe, this collection transcends the season's expectations. When the occasion turns less formal, the brand is equally well stacked-up to deliver an expertly considered style statement. Festival ready graphic print T-shirts, tapered jeans and minimalist leather sneakers provide the perfect options. And, for those beach-bound vacation days look-out for Remus Uomo’s palm tree print cotton T-shirts, washed-out chino shorts and canvas/suede sneakers, all delivered in a palette of soft summer hues.

Firmly in its sartorial stride Remus Uomo is a brand that is consistently delivering democratically-priced collections which not only ticks trend-boxes but makes a contemporary style statement aimed at getting you noticed this summer.
