Introduction
Since temperatures go up, we are already in Spring, and we will be soon in summer, the fashion companies have started adapting their collections.
For that reason, Massimo Dutti, as every almost every year, has launcher their limited edition for the Spring Summer, with a clear nod to summer and fresh style.
Massimo Dutti presented some days ago (end of March) the Limited Edition SS22 and it is already available for purchase. For this time, taking advantage of the rising temperatures, the collection is set in the Maghreb region.
Since this post is mainly about the different new looks and articles, it will be shorter than other post of this website
Coming back to the collection, the campaign photography is made by Josh Olins and the thematic for this campaign is linen, nature, and summery vibes. That’s why most of the shots are taken in desert landscapes of the North African region.
In this collection, Massimo Dutti focuses on the main characteristics, with no specific preference:
- Purity and nature
- Sharp silhouettes
- Natural colors
- Nods to Craftsmanship
- Light garments
- Comfortable fabrics
- Classic patterns
- Avant garde point of view
These attributes are aligned with the brand’s principles and culture. At the same time, Massimo Dutti still bets on the look of a sober man with classic taste, as well as cosmopolitan and open to change. You can see also this culture applied in other campaigns such as the Join Life collections
The preferred materials are also focused on nature and adapt to warmer months of the year. That’s why MD has opted for materials such as linen, leather, or different blends of knitwear.
Aligned with choice of the materials and landscapes, they try to evoke non artificial man. As opposed to other brands, it is difficult that you will see synthetic materials in the fabrics, and you will mainly see natural fabrics such as the ones mentioned for this collection.
My favorite pieces of the collection
In this post, I am selecting the most charismatic and unique pieces from this collection. However, I invite you to visit the website to find any other garment that could be interesting for you too.
Navy Blue Linen Blazer
The pandemic is being normalized and even if some of us are already back in the office, I would also expect that progressively most of us have to go to the office. For summer months, I remember that it was a nightmare to wear suits in hot places such as Spain or Greece. For these specific climates, linen suits and blazers may be a good alternative for work and events.
If you go for lighter fabrics and materials, this will fix the problem and you will wear the suit or blazer more comfortably as well as a great style.
Single breasted is still the preferred choice for most men. However, this double-breasted blazer can be a good item to distinguish from other typical suits. You can combine with the trousers of the same blazer or with more casual garments such as jeans.
It can add something different to your range of suits. You can see check from this link
Leather toiletry bag
This collection also adds interesting and high-quality accessories. For your home or when you are on trip, it’s a good idea to invest in a good toiletry bag.
This one is made on leather with an elegant pattern, and it is big enough to put all the things you need before and after shower. For similar items from more famous brands, you will pay 5 – 10 times more.

Suede overshirt
The next item is delicate, and you should not use it for rainy days. However, wearing a suede overshirt will elevate your look. Besides, you can also combine this garment in multiple ways. As mentioned, this is the most delicate item of the list, but if you have the chance this is a good investment for your wardrobe.

Leather Espadrilles
The known as Alpargatas in Spain, it is a typical product from Spain, used in this country, the south of France and some regions of America. Known as a humble shoe and evolved from the Egyptian and Roman sandals, Massimo Dutti has redesigned this shoe for this collection. This model is kept simple, but adds some sophisticated final touches, resembling in some cases the woven design of Bottega Venetta.

Beige Shawl collar cardigan
The weather is getting warmer and drier, but on summer night, we will need to add some layers depending on where we are. Wearing a wool or cashmere sweater in the months of summer may be excessive. Instead, trusting in lighter materials such as cotton would make a great balance. This shawl collar cardigan can be the great choice for these cases and as you can see the color is also more appropriate for these months.
It is perfect for summer night and you can check it here
Conclusion
Normally, I prefer the Autumn / Winter season, since the one for Spring / Summer you have less options. In Winter, it is also more common that we have more layers and that’s why we have more options to play with.
In the case of the women collection, you will of course have more alternatives. However, I’m sure you can find something interesting in this collection too.
