In a season increasingly defined by the extremes of climate and taste, late summer dressing remains one of the last zones of sanity. Massimo Dutti’s new collection, captured in the northern suburb of L’Isle-Adam, presents clothes that make a subtle impression, leaning into fabrics that know how to breathe and tailoring that forgives.
Massimo Dutti Été à l’Équilibre Edit
This season, Massimo Dutti’s shirts are cut loose while pants fall in generous lines, cinched with soft belts or elastic waistbands. There are button-downs in washed linen, and polos in ribbed cotton.
Model Tancrede Scalabre, with a sunburnt aristocrat’s air, wears each Massimo Dutti look with a natural ease. The shoes alternate between loafers and flip-flops, the latter suggesting a certain nonchalance. It is hard to tell whether the setting is a holiday or real life, which is exactly the point.
For Massimo Dutti, the season is less about fashion than feeling. The mood is quiet, slightly nostalgic, and committed to the notion that dressing well does not require discomfort. As July stretches on and September circles, these clothes push back against an early surrender to fall.
