Like it or loathe it, the American influence on modern culture is absolutely irrefutable. From the food we eat to the TV and movies we watch, it’s deeply ingrained into our contemporary way of life. As such, the fundamental tropes and stylings of ‘Americana’ fashion are instantly identifiable, even just at a glance.

Nigo’s appointment as the creative director of Kenzo not only feels like an entirely natural marriage of heritage and innovation but it also has the feeling of one of those iconic moments in time that can often shape the destiny of a label.

As the British summer begins to approach its peak, we’ve sifted through our expansive collection of t-shirts to uncover the real stars of the show.

No, you’re not having déjà vu. We really did publish a review of our favourite coats and jackets from the season not too long ago. But we’re so enamoured by the exciting selection on offer this season, we simply couldn’t resist diving back in and bringing you another!

To supplement the launch of our gift guide, we’re shining the spotlight on a selection of stocking-filler-styles that we feel we’re simply made to be gleefully unwrapped on Christmas day.

When arranged with care and an eye for detail, your summer wardrobe can easily be the most accessible and stylish of all your seasonal wardrobes. While every component of a modern summer outfit deserves an equal share of the limelight, we want to place a special focus on a piece of the puzzle that perhaps doesn’t always receive the plaudits it deserves. The ZOOFASHIONS.COM style team has handpicked a selection of some of our favourite shorts from the season, featuring a varied assortment of fabrics, colourways and graphic designs.
