SS26 Menswear - WILD COMPOSURE with Luca Cobelli

WILD COMPOSURE
*with Luca Cobelli

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

Every Spring, I find myself reaching instinctively for one of the best breezy separates that has carried me through countless cold mornings, commutes, late-night dinners and far-fetched trips. No matter how many trends cycles come and go, a body-hugging essential is a mid-season constant. That’s why when investing in one, you need to think carefully about what to look for, what to avoid and the wear-anywhere styles worth considering.

Luxury brands like MIU MIU, Paul Smith and Michael Kors have practically built their reputations on expertly crafted wardrobes, but there are plenty of more affordable and brilliantly made options on the high street, too. Brands such as BePositive, Avant-Toi and Canaku now offer exceptional quality in the daily wardrobe department without breaking the bank. Also worth noting: Fit is key. A gently oversized cut allows room for billowing shirts underneath and gives a more relaxed feel, while a slimmer or more tailored number offers polish for eveningwear, but isn’t the best for layering underneath on the coldest of days. Aim for a staple that skims the body without swamping it, and make sure the sleeves are the right length – small alterations at your local tailor can make an enormous difference. You’re welcome.

SS26 Menswear - DANCING TIDES with Simone Emili

DANCING TIDES
*with Simone Emili

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

Simone Emili’s first approach to dance was quite unusual, and came almost by chance. “I was about ten years old, a very hyperactive kid, and I felt the need to practice a sport, but I couldn’t really find one that I saw myself in,” he tells LE MILE’s Fashion Director, Chidozie Obasi. “There was one thing, however, that came naturally to me: in every sport I tried, in moments of rest, I always ended up dancing.”

From then on, he never stopped: at first, it was simply a hobby, something that spontaneously became a part of his daily routine. Then, during adolescence, he began to understand that it could become much more. “I completely changed my mindset and approach: dance became a tool for transforming my body, my mind, and, ultimately, the person I am today.”

Emili believes that today, the relationship between fashion, expression, and dance is at its peak. “There’s an increasingly perceptible mutual contamination between these worlds, which now communicate naturally and continuously,” he reflects. “It’s as if they were a single form of expression: one doesn’t exclude the other, but rather complements it. Where there’s fashion, there’s also movement; and movement, ultimately, is the very essence of dance. Fashion, in my opinion, is a form of dance: it communicates through the body, lines, and attitude. Likewise, dance embodies an aesthetic, a sense of style and expression that deeply resonates with the language of fashion.”

The emotions Emili felt during the shoot were bountiful, but what struck him most was the stark contrast between them. “Wearing six different looks, I felt like I was experiencing six distinct emotional states,” he says. “Each outfit transported me to a different atmosphere, almost a new environment, capable of evoking specific sensations: from harmony to elegance, even a kind of anger,” he explains. “All these emotions then became part of my performance in front of the camera. It was precisely this emotional journey that allowed me to face a long and intense day with energy and awareness. My goal was to create a contrast between the looks: not just an outfit change, but a transformation of my entire personality time after time.”

SS26 Menswear - SOFT PROJECTION with Matteo Guerrieri

SOFT PROJECTION
*with Matteo Guerrieri

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

Wear-anywhere separates are something of a paradox. Whether you choose breezy numbers or a style that stretches, something in neutral shades or a more tempered hue, their practical aesthetic can appear effortless – see Matteo Guerrieri’s proposal for the taking – however, the flipside is that for all their daily effortlessness, they require significantly more upkeep than their structured counterparts.

Matteo wears a blazer by CANALI, a bomber and scarf by ETRO, a shirt by BOSS, pants by RANDOM IDENTITIES by Stefano Pilati, and shoes by CHURCH’S

Quite simply, they deliver something different to classic true staples, which is why 24/7 wearers of soft tailoring will always have an ample range in their rotation. I own many: blazers, sweats and cardigans styles from both the high street and premium houses, which have a subtle aesthetic that teams nicely over sneakers or formal footwear. They serve different purposes, as you can probably tell by their shapes, but, crucially, both deliver polish in a mode that’s easy and undone.

They could pretty much be styled with any toppers, from a chunky knit by day to a long-sleeved cotton offering by night. (I also love a shirt-meet-sweat moment, although that might be too much for a night out.) My only note would be to score on the low-effort proposals, as the key is not overdoing it. Minimal layers, a quiet necktie and comfortable shoes – a lived-in Church’s loafer or a funky trainer, such as BEPOSITIVE – are the way to go. All that is left to do now is finding your staple of choice, and you’ll become the embodiment of Spring in no time. You’re welcome.

It’s exactly the reason why, in a world shaped by downturns that swing with increasingly furious pace, ideas brimming with invention and driven with full intention are a welcome respite.
