Textures

I have resently developed quite a penchant for silk and linen. Blended as well as pure these materials add some very refinded caracteristics to your garments.
For instance check out these pure silk trousers from Ralph Lauren. The very thin and soft fabric gives them the most beautiful drape and a cool and airy feel when worn.

Another example is the summer suit from Paul smith. It is made from a blend of linen and silk where the silk gives the twill a rich and open texture yet it feels surprisingly soft, drapes well and have this subtle silky sheen. A fabric like this calls for smooth plain weave cotton as provided here by the the shirt and pocket square.
