Ladies and gentlemen, it has arrived – the stunning new spring summer ’14 collection from Musto is now available at Outdoor & Country.

In 1964 founder of Musto, Keith Musto was selected to represent Great Britain in sailing at the Tokyo Olympics, Keith and his partner won a silver medal, the only GB sailing medal won that year. Following this Keith decided to engineer clothing that would keep sailors warm and dry, and aid their performance on the water, and hence Musto was born…

Today Musto are renowned worldwide for their super ability to fuse fashion with function, but this season is certainly a new personal best. This incredible new collection features a bold and vibrant colour palette paired with smart and sophisticated cuts to offer a stylish and practical selection that no wardrobe should be without.

Inspired by the sea, designed for the city…

Musto’s active heritage is stitched in to every piece of this beautiful new collection; the ‘Breathable Collection’ is heavily inspired by Sailing in all its glory, featuring maritime blues, greens and platinum prominently across the deck  along with ingrained wet weather protection as standard. The men’s LPX GORE-TEX jacket is made from a lightweight 3-layer GORE-TEX fabric meaning that it is fully waterproof and extremely breathable, the GORE-TEX membrane means that water from the outside will never penetrate, the cold weathers cannot pass through and perspiration can escape easily. Plus, under arm and elbow articulation allows for ease of movement when needed. Clearly inspired by the sea, nevertheless the sleek, simple and stylish design means that the fantastic Musto LPX jacket is just as at home in the city.

The women’s Musto Breathable Sardinia jacket follows suit with its PU coated rip stop fabric offering full waterproof and breathable protection, fully taped seams and its mesh lining for ease of donning and speed of drying. Wear over a chunky knit in the winter as a great waterproof layer, or wear with a lightweight vest in warm climates where spray may be encountered, again inspired by the sea but with a super stylish twist, the stunning Sardinia is sure to look incredible both on shore and off.

More than just a look – a lifestyle…

The Musto lifestyle collection is where the functional fashion fusion really steps into its own, with so many clever pieces perfect for everyday wear.

The hardwearing and practical Musto ethos is carried across to this collection, which is then paired with fresh and modern designs to create a range which would certainly look at home on any catwalk. The women’s Boven Denim dress is a lightweight denim piece complete with a penny shaped collar, 3/4 sleeves and Musto branded pearlised buttons. The gorgeous cut and removable shell fabric tie belt give the Boven a stunning shape which is just perfect for the warmer months to come. Pair with gladiator sandals and an over-sized beach bag for a very fashionable day in the sun.
