Boho Brad brings colour and skirts to the summer

HINTS that Brad Pitt was ready to shrug off a stale, male, middle-aged wardrobe had been there for a few weeks. Specifically, with one cantaloupe-coloured linen suit.

The garish, wrinkled two-piece set, which had short lapels, clunky shell buttons and a drawstring waist, first seemed like a fair enough way to stay cool and stand out in Paris during a photocall for his action film Bullet Train amid a Sahara desert-like heatwave. Little did we know we were actually witnessing the debut of Pitt's high-voltage, fashion-forward new lease of life at 58: introducing Bohemian Brad.

The following day, he was pictured karate kicking paps on the carpet of the French premiere of his movie, tactfully showing off the monogrammed soles of the new Gucci x Adidas collaboration trainers in a slouchy navy suit with contrast coral stitches. The next stop for the Bullet Train crew was Berlin, where Pitt went full yoga retreat hippie mode in double dusty pink. Baggy pink trousers were paired with a lighter shade, collarless zip-up jacket that had an off-beat turquoise front zipper and tangerine neckline.
