May’s Mood Board is inspired by walks through Italian gardens in the spring and mythical creatures found along the way.

As always, our monthly mood board pulls from our Ruby Room fabric library and this time around we are also pulling from some tie silks, coming soon to the room and sourced in Como, Italy, a historic centre for this type of silk weaving.

Philip’s proposed look incorporates a light beige cotton twill trouser that’s wide legged with a cuff. This style has become a popular choice in our shop and features a nice deep inverted pleat. The shirt is a gauzy, breezy wider blue and white stripe, with an oversized fit and a pocket to match the scale of the silhouette, perfect to take you into summer. The jacket over the shoulder is lightly structured, in a tropical weight wool in a great sky blue.
