dunhill, the heritage English label, proffered boxy tailored garments that aimed to evoke a 1950s vibe while injecting modernity and class to these clothes. While some of the proportions were a bit much, the elegant finishes and fabrications helped convey the idea of quiet luxury while the louder tailored pieces like the comically proportioned jackets with tie clips (but no tie) looked a bit, well, silly. At the end, the collection made a valiant effort after a few seasons of tepid outings.

Crossing the English Channel to show its latest collection, Dunhill aimed for a younger, harder edged look that juxtaposed the heritage label's tailoring roots. There were leather pants and puffers that made the collection more egalitarian while well cut overcoats and a smattering of shirt and pant options offered something similar for the man who doesn't want to go from a suit and tie to leather pants to wear to work.

British label dunhill's (lower case d, natch) prim and proper Spring/Summer 2016 collection looked to the idillic time when men got dressed to go outside of the home. This was made evident in the opening look's very formal suit, complete with morning coat and top hat. The label's long history stretches back to the late 1800s so the elements of turn-of-the-century exploration are rife here. These men are off to explore, be it Africa, India or some other far flung place. The romantic viewpoint that heritage houses like dunhill have at turn-of-the-century British exploration does give a sense of nostalgia but an acknowledgement that imperialism also brought about enslavement and murder for the good of Mother England should be given. Otherwise, it may be time to look forward and not back.

John Ray's debut at dunhill centered on the idea of subdued masculinity. Soft, neutral tones were front and center while homey fabrics gave the collection a sensitive, artist vibe, take a check jacket with roomy pants, rolled up at the bottom; all one needed would be a pair of wide brimmed glasses and it would be a perfect outfit for today's hipsters. But the inspiration looked five decades back to the 50s, to Hockney and his contemporaries. What little flamboyance the collection had came in the form of a 3/4 length fur coat, which itself looked downright calm in relation to the other furs seen during LCM.

Dunhill is back, focusing on its ready to wear. Complementing its British bespoke heritage with a decidedly sporty SS15 collection, one full of great weekend looks and just a dash of dandy via well cut suiting. Weekend looks include casual oxfords paired over thin knits with natural-colored trousers, in mustard or olive, while the formal looks range from a tuxedo with a baby blue pleated tuxedo shirt and sleek suits in one or two button variations, perfectly for trim men or men who aim to dress trim.
