The Milan Uomo DAKS SS16 collection boasted the motif Mens sana in corpore sano is a Latin phrase, loosely meaning “a sound mind in a sound body” or “a healthy mind in a healthy body”.

Thankfully, a collection of healthy, fit male models proved that indeed, the collection was appropriate for a normal man. The garments were sleek and color-coded, featuring a lot of white, grey and a stylish tan leather for added details. They were snugly fit (again, demonstrating a healthy body, perhaps?) chic and elegant. The models slicked back hair contributed to the overall sleek vibe of the collection.

The tan leather was used in various ways, such as more typical applications: a leather bag, shoes or trench coat, or a little more unique, like a leather coated collar, wide, trojan-style belt or as a very slim belt OVER a trench coat.

All in all, the collection was crisp and elegant, with a few trendy touches bringing into the modern man’s closet.
