AFTER the sombre winter months, when clothes tend to be dull, spring is a time to go a little crazy with the wardrobe.
Sunny weather has men digging out bright colours and looking for something lighter to suit their mood.
V2 by Versace captures that mood with vivid colours and wild patterns for work and play.
The colours are ''hot'', as is the new-look nautical blazer. Other hot looks are the checks and stripes which run riot over jackets and suits.
Complementing these hot looks is the ''cool'' soft cut of the jackets and the lean look of the pants.
Fabrics are cool, too, with spring suits in either wool crepe - a fabric with a slightly knobbly texture - or smoother wool silk.
For the height of summer, tropical wool featuring rippled or embossed textures, as well as silk, linen and cotton are the favoured fabrics for suits.
