MANGO FALL/WINTER 2010 TRENDS In this new collection, MANGO takes a fresh look at the timeless classics of British country style: trench coats, double-breasted jackets and tailored coats, without forgetting, in knitwear, the basics and thicker garments with a handmade look.

Very rich textures such as tweed, corduroy and leather, together with sheer silks and gold details, create a contrast between the masculine and the feminine, giving new meaning to the classics. The search for timeless classics is also reflected in the range of colours. The perfect combination between the traditional and elegant camel, grey and navy blue make up the colour palette this season, accentuated with country-inspired tones, such as warm browns and wintery reds.

The male wardrobe is back and bolder than ever and introduces two clearly-differentiated lines: City Workers and Retro Mountain. The first is a clean line which reinterprets the utilitarian uniform in an urban environment, based on a palette of greys and blues. The second H.E. range, Retro Mountain, is inspired by mountain sports classics, producing a casual and relaxed look.
