Get your guy to lead the summer beach pack in Orlebar Brown’s canine collection of Pucci print swim shorts
BY NABANITA DUTT
Burn that old pair of Hawaiian hibiscus-printed trunks he loves to rock every summer. Ignore your man when he defends his swimwear of 15 years, saying he loves it because it looks so different from everything else he owns and therefore easy to find in his suitcase. (No, don’t even try to understand that…)
Exchange `stubbornly hideous’ for `seriously happening’ and make sure he’s Riviera-ready in the season’s coolest beachwear for men from Orlebar Brown’s canine collection of Bulldog and Setter swim shorts.
Master designers of tailored swimwear for men – if you hadn’t already known about this terrific British label — Orlebar Brown has teamed up with Emilio Pucci for a capsule, 20-piece collection that takes resort styling to a whole new level with hypnotic, high-octane, geometric prints pulled from Pucci’s iconic pattern archives.
Impeccably crafted from Italian cotton poplin fabric, that has been `tefloned’ with a water-resistant seal, every zip-front pair comes with its own matching print waterproof drawstring bag to carry all male beach accessories in.
Pair the Pucci-print swim shorts with matching, long-sleeved Bulldog/Setter rash guards, and your arm candy’s now the most stylish male pooch on the beach!
WATCH CLOSELY: THE HYPNOTIC EFFECT OF THE 3 ICONIC PUCCI PRINTS
THE DISCHI PRINT: Look closely at this animated Emilio Pucci pattern and you will be able to notice the rotating propellers of a boat cutting through the sea, causing a ripple effect across the entire expanse of water.
BAIADERA PRINT: The undulating motion of waves comes to life in the animated Baiadera print, creating a hypnotic effect with the play of yellows and oranges layered into the Baiadera design by Pucci.
THE LABIRINTO PRINT: This shape-shifting piece of pattern is Pucci’s expression of a disturbed ocean, with surface currents causing a constant ebb-and-flow movement, hinting at the mysteries lurking underneath.
