ON THE COURT

Neutral colours, punctuated by classic shades like blue, red and green. A fusion of casual and sporty vibes for looks with a nod to the simplicity of a moment

A match of style between the unmissable appointments of Monaco, new ideas for the men’s and women’s wardrobe and classic references. If last year we saw fashion inspired by the champions of tennis who wrote the history of the sport, this spring the seasonal allure shifts to clothing intended as a uniform for every day: a subtle balance between style and sport for comfy outfits, but with intense attention to detail.

The aplomb of the Monte Carlo Masters, founded in 1897 and still one of the world’s most important tennis tournaments, lives on in long white pleated skirts recalling the sophisticated look of ‘sixties athletes, or in the short cotton ones with laceup waists. On the other hand, the men's wardrobe has loose-fitting trousers and linen Bermuda shorts for absolute comfort. The everyday wear includes practical and casual unisex piqué polo shirts, while sleeveless shirts or cream cardigans with classic stripes are worn open over the shoulders.

Outerwear ranges from parkas with mesh elements to anorak hoodies, with white leather sneakers coordinated with trapezoid hand or shoulder bags for an essential final touch.
