The best part of summer drawing to a close is scouring new season pieces for purchases that perfectly sum up the current mood. And if the Paul Smith autumn/winter collection is anything to go by, men are happily reverting back to childhood, dinosaur jumpers and all.
By creating an entire collection around a cartoon of a dinosaur, Smith is giving free rein to the childhood innocence in all of us. Perhaps as the world becomes an ever more serious place, now is the time to let fashion do what it does best — lighten the atmosphere.
Splashed across bags, scarves, T-shirts and jumpers, the oddly charming range allows a degree of discretion. Will it be a dino bag day? Or do the coming weeks require nothing less than full reptile T-shirt worn under a suit.
Whatever your decision might be, it’s always good to have a choice.
Paul Smith autumn/winter men's collection is available now.
