Spring has arrived.

Nothing is better than when the sales have finished, the crap is cleared from the shelves and you've finally realised you actually didn't need all those 'bargain' sale items.
Hence the arrival of spring 11.

From scouring the stores at the new arrivals spring 11 is looking pretty good for the guys, military is back in a deconstructed lightweight effect with camp style shirts in tonal colours making a big appearance, tees are pure simple and over sized with minimal detailing in luxe fabrics, horizontal stripes continue in collections  less nautical  with a more monochrome twist.

Burberry Prorsum

For colour you probably cant get more colourful this season with NEON being the trend for the brave and bold.
labels to champion this look are: Jill Sander , Dries Van Norten, Prada and Dsquared.

My favourite collections so far are naturally Dior Homme of course,
I saw the full collection yesterday and its truly amazing.there are some hugely deconstructed pieces alongside the core collection, with subtle light weight tailored pieces ideal for layering.  Dior Hommes core monochrome pallet is of course visible but with the addition of strong Petrol blues.

Other favourites are Burberry Prorsum, Burberry is getting better and better although the collection is heavy in terms of outerwear and leathers the colour pallette, tailoring and diversity in the collection looks great.

Finally two other collections that I'm keeping my eye on are Maison martin margiela and Folk, both have some great knitwear and shirts that Ive already got my eye on once payday arrives - January is far too long a month.

Bring on that pay check !
