The men’s summer collection – all by Folded & Hung’s in-house designer Manuel Barretto – was an innovative union of old western and desert army style in subdued shades of brown, gray, plum and green, which dominated the catwalk. Standouts from the label included solid-colored shirts with prominent stitching, cuff details and contrast color piping, stylized Cuban-inspired polos, vintage wash V-neck tees and preppy pique shirts with pockets. Accessories proved to be a huge hit on the runway as well with suede and leather belts, military dog tags, fedora hats and military caps.

How do you update your summer wardrobe every year?

More shorts. I don’t need as much shirts under the sun.
