AlsoSandrotakes the Chinese New Year as an opportunity to launch new creations. The result is a whole collectionLunar New Year Capsule, with which the brand wants to welcome the Year of the Snake.

Jeans and a shirt, you don't need anything else for the summer.

By the way, Magnus Carlsen really made a difference with his appearance: the tournament's dress code was changed after his iconic exit. Good this way.
