Velasca sets the tone for spring-summer 2026 with a trip to a 17th-century palazzo overlooking Palermo Cathedral. Jon Paul Phillips portrays the Velasca man, standing on hand-painted majolica tile floors between exposed wooden beams. The clothes match the setting in texture, and the season’s palette stays warm and tonal, running through beige, cream, tan, rust, burgundy, and olive.
Pleated trousers set the silhouette, full through the thigh and tapered to a cuffed hem, paired with camp-collar shirts, open-neck polos, and knit henleys worn unbuttoned at the chest. Velasca treats the suit jacket as a standalone layering piece, throwing a beige herringbone blazer over a cream and brown striped crew neck or pairing a tan suit with a coral polo. The shoulder softens, the lining stays out, and the whole thing works in July. A burgundy linen field jacket with flap pockets and horn buttons, layered over a tan henley and brown trousers, pulls the collection’s deepest tones into a single frame.
The collection handles its heavier combinations, a brown suede blazer over a cream waistcoat and navy linen shirt, a brown plaid blouson with suede collar and pocket flaps, as comfortably as its pared-back setups of white linen shirt and cream trousers. A red intarsia cardigan knitted with a blue cloud at the elbow and a yellow sailboat at the hem is the collection’s one playful departure from a wardrobe that otherwise stays sober and tonal.
A cream linen overcoat with oversized horn buttons, worn over a brown crew neck and beige herringbone trousers, closes the set as its strongest look. The unlined fabric already sits soft at the collar where Phillips turns it up against the palazzo’s stone doorframe, catching the same afternoon light that washes the apartment’s original ceilings. One layer of linen between the body and a Sicilian evening.
