Zara Spring Summer 2015 Mens Collections: My Picks

Mixing high fashion with fast fashion is a great way to update your wardrobe without hurting your wallets. Zara is my go to brand for their good balance of trend and basic pieces. For Spring Summer 2015, tailoring in athletic wear is a key theme that runs across many designers. But investing in a tonne of expensive high fashion pieces from this sports inspired season may not be feasible unless you have a matching gargantuan budget. So Zara’s on-trend options allows you to buy into the looks and still stay off the red on your bank accounts.

Here’s my picks for this new season... I have kept in mind the functionality and sportswear theme, so I don’t get something that will end up being a white elephant.

1) Drawstring Jogging Pants (SGD109): I love this pair of jogging pants. Joggers are featured on many designers’ collection and are a key style for the season. I like this Zara’s version because it mixes tailoring details with sporting aesthetics. So you continue wearing them even when the sports trend is over. The waist and pocket areas are designed very much like your regular tailored trousers but the elastic cuffs at the hems and drawstring waist brings about the sought-after athletic look. I love the slightly elastic jersey material which is very comfortable while the cut being more fitted than regular sweat pants  makes for a sharper silhouette. I  am very happy with my navy one. Comes in grey as well. Love this!

2) Silver Boat Shoes (SGD159): Boat shoes are indispensable when it comes to spring summer wear. They bring a sense of the yachting season where they go most perfect with shorts and ankle length trousers. So this is must-have, especially when updated with a silver metallic finish. Something different than solid colours, slightly glamourous and yet so versatile. I need these.

3) Trendy Slip-ons in Navy Croc Embossed texture (SGD109):
Céline and Kenzo x Vans can be blamed for my renewed interest in these ‘skates’ style footwear. They are so easy to slip on and out, and comfortable to wear all day long. Now with croc and smooth navy texture, they are even a better reason to acquire A touch of formal that you can wear day and night.

4) Printed Slip-ons (SGD79.90): When these skates come in tropical prints... it’s a no brainer. Take them on beach holidays and wear with brightly hued pants and shorts for maximum holiday chic. Because of the canvas construction, they are lighter and easy to pack away in your luggages.

5) Patchwork Jacket (SGD139):
An extra layer is always welcomed should you want some layering or keeping warmth in the evenings. This Zara jacket is sporty and features colour blocking patchwork design which inject colour and pattern for a whole lot of matching possibilities. Being sporty, you can easily replicate some of the season’s hottest runway looks.
