The Valentino man for SS14 is neat and suave

Valentino's Summertime Soldiers Khakis and camouflage, aviators and epaulettes: normally when these elements are brought together it makes for an unquestionably military collection. And yet Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli streamlined them into something altogether more refined and sophisticated, out of the barracks and into the city streets. The Valentino man for SS14 is neat and suave, but confident enough with his sartorial vocabulary to be able to wear flip flops with a suit, and double denim with no hint of irony.
