The Canali Spring/Summer 2021 collection is a fantasy voyage through the realm of masculine apparel, an imaginary journey of the reconciliation of soul and self amidst the winding path of adventure to distant destinations. With innovative garments and materials, the three-tiered collection—including Canali 1934, Black Edition and Exclusive—embraces style, inventiveness, and passion.

The luxury Italian menswear house has developed a new collection centered around lightness: the comfortability and practicality of clothes, the magic of the golden sands of the beach and crunch of leaves in the forest transported into a cosmopolitan metropolis. 

With a call for richness and reliability from the effortlessly fluid lifestyle that blend interior settings and outdoor spaces, the ever-comfortable, refined garments that have been the signature of the Maison for over 85 years are designed with the wearer in mind, made to be long-lasting in the dedicated craftsmanship of Canali.

Each of the three “segments” of the collection include sartorial and sportswear items alongside accessories, each representing different modes and approaches of exploring one’s own style.

Canali 1934 rediscovers the construction of a smart wardrobe in the masculine tradition. Reversible and functional outfits define the apparel of the modern urban explorer, with versatile and interchangeable items. Amongst standout pieces in the collection is the Shacket, a hybrid shirt-jacket combination garment created with drapery fabric, combining elegance and comfort in the essence of the new casual man.

Other standouts include the Impeccable leather biker jacket, a slim-fitting, water repellent and ultra resistant garment defining the dauntless lifestyle. In the range of the Canali 1934 SS21 collection, garments are a combination of long, fluid cuts and short, bold ones, presenting themselves in colors from delicate, sage green to bold, natural green and shades of orange, red, and blue.

The Black Edition of Canali’s SS21 collection epitomizes innovative experimentation. With unexpected silhouettes and ergonomic cuts, the military world is evoked with its sense of adventure, purpose, and performance. 

The use of technical fabrics with vibrant color contrasts in this collection convey a youthful spirit and an adventurous wardrobe, with standout pieces including the soft hooded jersey Hybrid jacket, complete with its spacious pockets and mini zips for Bluetooth headphones, a notepad, whatever weapon the modern adventurer chooses. The suit reinterpretation is inspired by the military world, and has allusions to the combat field including pocket stitch finishing, contours and lapel proportions. 

Outerwear items include the quintessential accessory for the young modern explorer: a nylon trekking backpack with inner trims made of multicolor rope, practical and perfect for any adventure.

The Exclusive segment of the collection embraces sophistication with soft, relaxed shades and an emphasis on details, materials and finishings. The masculine identity is explored and nearly discovered in suits exalting high-end tradition—jackets have lapels with pink stitching and hand-embroidered eyelets, shoulders feature classic volumes and ruffled armholes, and the Canali tailors emit their finest tailor-ship with a bowling collar shirt in prints of botanical themes or pure white.

The nuances of the outdoors prevail in the color palette, from a sage green linen-cotton blend gabardine field jacket to the use of sand-colored cashmere-silk jackets and cotton-silk carcoats, evoking distant lands alongside hues of mauve and sage.

The journey Canali embarks on is for the man unafraid to discover both what lies ahead and what lies within. For a cosmopolitan, passionate, romantic man with a free spirit. Shop the Canali SS21 collection on their website here.
