The Milan Uomo: Santoni ManSS16 collection was all about soft lines and smooth movement. No rigid looks in this menswear collection, next spring it’s all about the flow.

To evoke the overall feeling of the collection, the showing took place in a beautiful Italian palace, the Palazzo Bocconi, with the collection place among angelic pillows among plants and grass.

Being soft doesn’t mean that the shoes lose their masculinity; in fact, the embracement of a softer look almost makes the man himself seem more confident in a subtle, gentle way.

“Mandals” (man sandles) made an appearance, and you best bet they will be worn all throughout Europe and perhaps a daring American citizen will hop on the mandal bus.

BDMOTP especially loved the lateral edges of some of the shoes Santoni created this season. It reminded us of beachy waves! The softness comes out, but the masculinity is all there.
