Cultivated for summer, the new elegance is delivered with sophisticated ease, blending sportswear fabrics with a luxurious edge. Volume is pivotal and introduced through the fluid lines of trapeze shorts and oversized parka jackets. Slender tailored jackets in paper touch cotton lend a contemporary formality to sportswear. Sicilian white tones reflect the summer sun and indigo blues recall the travel diaries of epic explorers.

Summer knits in cotton silk textures align with Zegna's rich fabric heritage, updated for the heat with double-breasted shawl collar cardigans with wide boating necklines. Silk jacquard shirting fabrics in grey-blue stripes give tailoring and sportswear a fresh feel. Exposed thermo-plated seams, laser-cut raw edges and polished cotton chintz increase the crispness. Cropped trousers in paper touch lamb leather and wide pajama shorts with high socks make an expedition a must.

Z Zegna develops a new urban tailored look with shorter, edgier silhouettes. High break double-breasted jackets in shirting fabrics paired with slim fit trousers elongate the form. Shirts are paired down in tone on tone palettes with piped edges. Summer survival outerwear is loose fitting, in paper touch fabrics or with glossy grey winged cuts.

For evening, black is back with new shapes and classic forms. Divergent dimensions and fabrics are paired together creating a graphic contrast, with capes and pajama shirting echoing the beat of the night. Oversized nylon jackets with exaggerated collars are worn over block print T-shirts and fitted three-quarter length pants in midnight black tones while double-faced linen four button jackets are worn with tuxedo pants.
