Polo shirts are standard staples for business casual dress, but the J. Lindeberg Spring 2011 collection gives these pieces a formal twist by topping them with bow ties. The rest of the menswear line similarly fuses casual and dressy, from preppy sweaters paired with camouflage shorts to crisp blazers atop white denim pants.
According to The Fashionisto, the J. Lindeberg Spring 2011 collection was inspired by the urban cyclist.
Implications - J.Lindeberg’s Artistic Director Pierangelo D’Agostin says that the pieces in the collection are all about putting together an outfit that perfectly suits you. Many of the colors in the collection are basics such as black and white, but bright pops of color such as orange can be seen on items like polo shirts.
