This season, DAKS wowed us with a glorious collection filled with rich burgundy and hunter green, complete with plaids and checks, layers and jackets. No, not an Autumn Winter collection, but a Spring one. Although all signs point to more wintery colors, styles and trends, this collection still gives off that fun summer vibe. The line was inspired by India: Madras, to be more specific, and there’s even a plaid pattern in the collection named after the city. Perhaps that’s also where the jewel tones come from too. However, the DAKS SS17 collection, as all DAKS collections do, seems to maintain it’s distinct British gentleman flair despite it’s Madras influence.

The distinctive necklines for this season range from a very low V-neck summer style to a turtleneck appropriate for a cool spring London morning. Luxurious leather belts wrapped twice round plus some funky necklaces/Buddhist prayer beads give the otherwise elegant collection an edge.
