To add a bit of diversity to my blog, I thought I'd take a little bit of time to talk about men's trends for S/S 2011.
BLUE
Issey Miyake, Dries Van Noten, D&G
Trailing through the catwalk reports I noticed a definite pattern of blue emerging. If you are already a religious jean-wearer then this trend is ideal but if you are feeling a little more daring, the bright blue shirt below would be perfect with long shorts or those trusty denims.

DOUBLE-BREASTED
Jean Paul Gaultier, Kenzo, Lanvin. Note: I am definitely NOT feeling the Jesus sandals...
This is such a classic look that the smarter gentleman may already have a double-breasted piece in their wardrobe. Usually just for dressier occasions but the cardigan below makes the trend casual.

A CLASSIC JACKET
Burberry, Lanvin, Paul Smith
Trench, blazer, mac, whatever your choice, make sure it's well cut and well made. And if it's double-breasted too, then all the better. Colour wise, aim for muted navy, charcoal and black, fabric wise, mattes and satins work well.

GREY
Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Dior
A no-brainer. Mix with navy, burgundy, denim, black, tan or even more grey and you're on to a winner. I'd play with textures here - knits, tailoring, jersey - it's all good. Keep it simple with this t-shirt and pair it with some chinos.
ASOS
TURNED HEM SHORTS
Louis Vuitton, D&G, Marni
A little tailored, possibly with a crease down the front. I'd go for a matte navy, camel or even khaki to keep them neutral and versatile and both a shorter or longer style work. Wear with a t-shirt for day and loose untucked shirt for evening.
Polo Ralph Lauren. Note: Beware knobbly knees.
