| T hough the Fashion pundits predicted these colors for men for Spring / Summer 2008 Black , Beige, blue & Brown were still the most popular as usual . ( Did you notice this “B” pattern in all the sort after colors for men ? Brown/Khaki ( color) ranked the second most popular instead of blue. Some designers used bright orange and pink for both formal and casual wear which was very refreshing and different.
Leather and denim was designers favorite material for men with an introduction of sheer shirts/t-shirts. ( I really wonder if I can stand my husband wearing sheer shirts..)

Burberry prorsum spring summer 2008 |
Burberry Prorsum had the most colorful collection for men . From red Jackets to shiny green pants color was not spared anywhere. Other designers like Bottega Veneta , Versace , Etro & Comme Des Garcons also showed retro and colorful ensembles on the ramp.
Alexander Mc Queen , Gucci , Paul Smith , VALENTINO & Bottega Venata mostly used white as their signature color for Mens Spring /Summer 2008 collection . Its the best color to combine with bright color shirts as well.
Perry Ellis , Salvator Ferragamo , Cavalli , Valentino , Yohji Yamamoto, John varvatos , & Bottega Venata key colors were - White , Beige , Gray ( and shades of Gray) , Brown & Black.Bottega Venata also used subtle shades of pink for their shirts which actually looked really nice and not at all feminine.See all the collections here
My favorite collections both for color and style are Hermes , John Varvatos , Bottega Venata , J. Lindeberg, Belstaff, Perry Ellis and Louis Vuitton.
