The Trailblazer

Posted Aug 17, 2009

Pioneer a look rather than following one by opting for one of D&G's new spring/summer 2010 blazers. From a new collection entitled Brit Cowboys Swide explains how to achieve that nonchalant yet stylish look.

 Achieving a look that doesn't scream hours in front of a mirror and yet can still knock them dead at the saloon is not an easy one. Your secret sartorial weapon next summer will in fact be a blazer rather than a lasso.

Mixing formal wear with street wear will ensure a look that won't be out of place whatever your destination of choice.

Sharp tailoring, bow-ties paired with denim create an urban look that is stylish, individual and may we say ever so Chuck Bass (Gossip Girl dear readers, Gossip Girl).

Earth colours and burnt hues such as brown, cognac and beige as well as navy create blazers that can be paired with denim as well as formal trousers styles.

Leave the shirt at home and team a blazer with a t-shirt for a low-key look.

Rich velvet blazers paired with denim creates a masculine look yet one that isn't afraid of his fashion side.

When worn with formal trousers, a sharp blazer is a modern day metropolitan hero.

Items from the D&G collection can now be bought online at D&G's new online boutique dandgstore.com.

For this instalment of our archive lead considerations of what makes up the Dolce&Gabbana DNA we concentrate on maybe one of the strongest statement the designers have made over the years: the corset.
