Natural Selection: House of Fraser Unveils a New Menswear Trend

Online, June 14, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Summer calls for breezy, clean-cut pieces in lightweight fabrics, and the latest House of Fraser mens fashion story is destined to please the dapper gentleman.

Natural Selection invites the style-savvy to discover a selection of men's clothing that's inspired by the modern day traveller; utility-esque details blend with sandy neutrals and rich desert tans to create versatile day-to-day options that are ideal for the warmer months.

The Spring/Summer 2011 catwalks were awash with military-style pockets and lightweight fabrics with menswear collections exuding a look that was effortlessly 'summer'. The key to achieving the look is to wear an array of textures; canvas accessories and sophisticated cottons or linens provide a contemporary combination of fabrics and a luxurious take on warm-weather dressing.

House of Fraser 's signature brands offer a host of summer wardrobe solutions that epitomise this seasonal trend. Lightweight linen shirts in crisp white appear alongside classic chinos in delectable caramel, whilst sumptuously soft jersey T-shirts are updated with an on-trend colour palette sandy neutrals and warm beige.

For label lovers, a host of renowned designer clothing names have also interpreted this look in their collections. J. Lindeberg's relaxed tan chinos are stripped of detail making them the ultimate versatile trouser; Carhartt, Diesel and Paul Smith have infused an array of utility details into men's trousers, House of Fraser designer shoes and tops for a slightly tougher twist on these classic styles.

Natural Selection is a versatile trend story that can be worn dressed up or down, from am to pm; and is the perfect staple for your summer holiday wardrobe.
