Introduction
Earlier on this year, we showcased the new SS13 collection from up-and-coming brand Gagliardi. Combining the ageless, high quality approach of Savile Row with a penchant for rich colours and contemporary detailing, the label is the epitome of the FashionBeans ethos: ‘Timeless Style For The Modern Gent’. Since then, Gagliardi has gone from strength to strength – and looking through the new autumn/winter 2013 collection from the Mediterranean brand, it is easy to see why…
Gagliardi Autumn/Winter 2013 Collection
This year’s autumn/winter collection derives its inspiration from the vintage ski resort Cortina d’Ampezzo, with Gagliardi offering the perfect mix of style, comfort and old school charm. They manage to do this by effectively combining fine traditional tailoring with soft and deconstructed pieces, and throwing in a dizzying range of warm colours to boot – it’s the kind of sartorial finesse favoured by Italian fashion connoisseurs. Adopting a rich, seasonally-appropriate palette of Bordeaux, Purple, Winter White, Warm Mustard, Rusty Orange, Forest Green, Smoky Grey and Icy Blue, the collection is the epitome of versatility – garments can be mixed and matched effortlessly, allowing you to put together a wide range of looks without having to sacrifice your individuality.

Tailoring & Party Wear
If you’re in search of something more structured and formal, Gagliardi has its own clear-cut ideas about what the stylish man will be wearing in the coming months. The 1920s style three-piece suit is a particular highlight – both on trend and thoroughly reminiscent of The Great Gatsby. Complete the look with a tie-pin collar and double cuff shirt. This season’s evening wear and party wear jackets are what Salvatore Gagliardi himself would have called a ‘gioiellino’ (a gem/jewel to me and you). They come in jacquard or quilted fabrics, printed velvet and silk, with the possible accompaniment of sensual linings, subtle pipings and other minutiae which, in totality, help create a strong sense of sophistication and elegance that would be perfect for black tie events or the office Christmas party.

Shirting
Gagliardi produce an exhaustive range of city and business shirts in a vast array of colours with what it likes to call the “ultimate non-iron” finish. Hardy yet stylish and easy to wear, the brand’s ‘Non-Iron’ shirt promises to be every young professionals dream. With the AW13 shirting collection incorporating a new range of seasonally-appropriate textures such as washed cord, denim, cotton and twill, the Gagliardi man can shift from morning to evening, weekday to weekend, wearing a variety of shirt collars, cuts and detail finishes that are staggeringly attractive and varied. Look out for the innovative stud front shirts and the rather more French look of the chemises Ă pois.

Finally, check out the modest yet timeless selection footwear, which come in traditional Derby, brogue and loafer silhouettes. We are particularly fond of the softer shoes available in coloured suede.
