Shanghai Tang’s new Men’s collection makes subtle references to Miao culture, starting with its predominantly blue and indigo colour palette referencing the natural dyes used by the ethnic minority’s costumes, complemented by other bright hues. The latest Mandarin collar cotton shirts feature embroidered Miao motifs, such as the Miao star, on the cuffs. This season, Shanghai introduces a new higher collar which may be folded or worn up in a Preppy style. As always, stylish men are offered a wide selection of distinctive separates which may be dressed up or down for casual to more formal occasions. Highlights include varsity knitwear, bright chinos, and classic sports jackets updated with Mandarin collars. Outerwear for Spring/Summer 2011 also features the reversible Shanghai Tang trench coat, an evolution of the highly popular reversible jackets of past seasons; its Mandarin collar and streamlined minimalist, slim cut make it an ideal, modern alternative to the traditional trench coat.
