Save the solids, wools, and neutrals for your suits – Invest in some sport coats for Spring. Colour, pattern, and texture are what Spring 2012 sport coats are made of.
A good sport coat is an everyday item, something that bridges the gap between work and evening pleasure. They’re often the most versatile piece in a man’s closet. Our price point ranges from $225 to $650 – so they’re also great for guys who are just starting to build their wardrobe and need versatile pieces at good prices.
Danish fashion house SAND continues to combine tailored fits with European charm for their Spring 2012 collection. Definitely not for the wallflower kinda guy, this collection is full of bright, contrasting colours and patterns.
Once the warmer weather comes, patio season and summer social events will quickly fill up your agenda. These are the perfect shirts to go from paired with a suit at the office to worn without the jacket or blazer at social events.
Purple and orange gingham shirt $195, Blue and orange striped shirt $195.
Orange gingham shirt $195 with a Tiger of Sweden tuxedo jacket. Plaid shirt $225.
SAND was always at the forefront of having the newest stripes and plaids in their collection. Now for Spring they’ve added in some great new prints and mirco patterns.
Blue and white floral shirt $250.
Paisley shirt $225, micro paisley print shirt $225.
Like the SAND Creative Director says, “These are pieces that are easy to live with and hard to get rid of.”
Green gingham shirt $198, floral shirt $250.
Color is the hot trend for Spring. Look for orange and green to be the new fashion colors for guys (easier to relate to then the pinks and purples of the past seasons).
For spring weight blazers, we just got in two stunners! A light blue cotton blazer with satin taping, perfect for summer weddings and social events for $750. This navy blue pin textured blazer is perfect for red carpet worthy events or when you want to impress on date nights. $795
From legends like Steve McQueen & Frank Sinatra to modern day style icons Brad Pitt and Jude Law nothing says timeless fashion than owning the perfect leather jacket. Just like a well tailored suit and shirt a good quality leather jacket is a wardrobe staple and by far one of the most classic and versatile items that you can own. A well chosen leather jacket can easily take you from a casual Autumn afternoon to a fun night out on the town in a matter of seconds. So how do you pick the right leather jacket for you?
Superdry black leather jacket $550.
Details! As with everything today it’s all in the details. Take for example this black Superdry leather jacket $550 or the chocolate brown Rogue leather jacket $595 (bottom left). The wonderful high collar allows for simple wardrobe changes. Pop the collar for a casual look, or fold the collar down for something low key. Take-in the added details of the pockets and shoulder straps and you have a jacket that definitely showcases some personality.
Juxtaposed to that we have this beautiful SAND jacket ($1450, right) for someone a bit more classic. The Mandarin collar clearly showcases a refined aesthetic and the clean sillouette allows for you to easily carry this jacket from work casual to evening dinner without any fuss.
If you’re into trim cut shirts, sweaters, suits, and blazers (because you should be), look no further than SAND. For that modern man, it’s tailored for the guy who has interest in European styling.
Straight from the lion’s mouth:
A focused collection where every piece, every colour, every fabric, and every detail has been capsuled to the essential, to the modern.
Shirts are still with details, this season in calm, interesting exclusive harmony.
Elbow patches – GO FOR IT. On both blazers and knit, and why not try a suit and a coat? The elbow patches theme is still upcoming in the shops and has not yet reached the peak.
Two tone fabric, two tone colours, a tendency where SAND is specialized in blazer, suits, shirts, knit, and even jeans.
There’s a wide selection of shirts to choose from: solids to floral, plaid to striped. Prices range from $225 to $250.
SAND’s fashion forward collection of blazers for fall 2011 are better than ever. Built for the fashion conscious, these four new blazers this season are sure to stand out. Prices range from $695 to $850.
MELISSA SAYS: We have been carrying SAND since it launched in Canada. For fall, I love the red carpet looks that are perfect for any TIFF party and whenever you want to stand out in a sea of penguins. They are on trend with the new micro prints and still offer the best coloured striped and checks. Don’t forget to layer their fine gauge sweaters over your shirts, to give them a fresh new look. My favorite item of the season is the navy tuxedo with the black satin shawl collar, perfect for the guy who likes it stirred, not shaken.
If you haven’t found a shirt that has fit you properly, you probably haven’t tried on a shirt from SAND.
Our super popular shirts from SAND have arrived with a fresh new collection for you to mix-n-match with. Solids are available for $185, while the patterned shirts (above) are priced at $250 – a total of six new styles to choose from.
Melissa says: SAND has always offered “up to the minute” European trends and great finishing details, without breaking the bank. For the guy who has moved beyond stripes, look for micro prints, iridescent solids (blue is the new black!) and checks and plaids that are still going strong (but look for them in dressier fabrics).
SAND from Denmark is back with a great collection of spring colours and patterns. These slim cut shirts are perfect for evening or social events and are ideal for “popping” your spring fashion blazers. The clever detailing along the cuff add another layer of fascination when rolled up your arm. Available from $185 to $225 in seven different styles.
