The Crystal Maze Jumpsuit
The all-in-one becomes a style adventure as the jumpsuit, finally, makes into men's wardrobes. Think of it as a cost saver, as you get a top and bottom in one.

Forget the Cold War, it's all about the cold shoulder for SS18. Think big and high. More hunched than hench!

Milan is home to many of fashion's megabrands. This powerhouse is full of the commercial sex appeal we've come to expect from the home of Italian fashion. TheChicGeek casts his expert eye over the details and trends worth coveting:
Chinoiserie
It could have something to do with the recent MET exhibition in New York, or simply the cycle of Chinese influence is coming around for another season, but look out for Mao collars and delicate Chinese decoration in relaxed, voluminous shapes.

Nightwear
Step straight out of bed, or straight in, depending on timings, with the new dressing gown type coats and pyjama shirts.

Distortion
No, you're not seeing things. Colour and pattern are stylishly distorted to make the wearer standout while confusingly blending in.

Longline
Call it ethnic or ASOS!, everything is untucked and in a longer length. Just be careful when wearing with shorts.

Technical
Comfort seems to be the key for technical fabrics today: a new ease of movement and travel focused.

Just because - The new Gucci is slightly mental - good mental - in a Fight Club meets Peter Sellers kinda way. Love this dressing up box style.
