In traditional Paul Smith fashion, the acclaimed British designer has long held patterned prints in high regard — incorporating various styles into his creations season after season. Deviating from last fall/winter’s tartan checks, paisley and bird designs, Sir Paul Smith this time opted for a tropical floral vibe. Taking on a broad color palette including muted shades of blue and grey to punchy tones of red, yellow and purple, flowery pullovers, jackets and button-downs teamed with form-fitting suits — creating a diverse seasonal collection effortlessly hitting both casual and formal moods. In case you missed it, check out PS by Paul Smith’s 2018 Spring Collection.
