Despite the collection's sunny outlook, outerwear proves fundamental. Oliver's staple 'Malin' Jacket is rendered for the season in a lightweight, navy 'Raleigh' check, while the functional 'Pole' jacket appears in high-vis 'fine wax yellow' cotton - perfect to keep those summer showers at bay. The 'Quay' pull-over jacket and a perfectly cropped mac provide further shelter from the storm.
Knitwear is appropriately lightweight with trimmed 'Cricket' cardigans offered in silky cotton blends and delicate knitted polos all demonstrating subtle attention to detail and quality. The classic Breton sweater is reworked via the 'striped crew' and the ubiquitous hoody is given a sophisticated update.
It is in the elegantly disheveled tailoring where the collection really hits its stride - Oliver continues to develop his vision of a classic 3-piece suit, offered here in a plethora of mix-and-match styles and lightweight fabrics - a lesson in individual but restrained style.
Trousers and tailored shorts are made to be rolled up and, when combined with a jacket, artfully blur the boundaries between the formal and informal.
Shirting is designed to compliment the range while traversing traditional boundaries, checks abound while 'Eton' collared styles are offered alongside classic spread and button-down Oxfords. The detachable collar is also developed to create a relaxed 'grandad' style shirt in gingham check.
The collection is accompanied by a range of complimentary accessories including belts and scarves alongside a collection of classic 'Derby' shoes and 'Chukka' boots, updated with red or white crepe soles.
