Put some prep in your step
Menswear has come over all nostalgic this season, as designers turned to the archives for inspiration. Sports-influenced outfits that nod to decades gone by are a key trend. Don’t worry about digging out your old kit – try this laid-back look with a modern rugby shirt. Versatile, stylish, and hardwearing, a rugby shirt is a contemporary classic. Look out for elevated details, such as contrast collars and button fastenings. Keep styling simple by wearing with smart chinos or add a striped shirt underneath for a playful take. We’ve got an array of colours and styles to choose from, whether you like a rugby shirt with a bold stripe, embroidery detailing or prefer to keep it simple.
Throw on a cardigan
Your grandad’s favourite cardigan has been reinvented for the new season. We’ll be wearing this ribbed knit with a stylish shawl collar – which adds some extra detail to your outfit. Lean into the cardigan’s classic aesthetic by pairing with corduroy chinos and a simple T-shirt.
Try the fashion fleece
There’s nothing fashion likes more than a good buzzword. This season’s hot topic in menswear? Gorpcore – or for the uninitiated, functional clothing that wouldn’t look out of place on a hike. Sounds intimidating, but the trend is surprisingly wearable: think practical basics such as anoraks, and fleeces. Contrast trims, patch pockets and bright hues give the fleece a fashionable edge. Complete the look by wearing a fleece under a padded gilet and waterproof jacket, or try it with straight-leg chinos and a T-shirt for a smarter look. You’ll be comfortable and on-trend.
Blaze a trail
A return to tailoring has been influencing menswear trends for several seasons and this autumn is no different. Relax, though, the current vogue is for a softer, less-formal look. Wear a classic jacket – this pure wool checked jacket is a timeless wardrobe addition – with more casual pieces, like a padded gilet. Dress down a pair of smart wool pants with a long sleeve T-shirt and shacket, or wear a polo neck instead of a shirt under your jacket. Another way to try the trend is to opt for softer fabrics, like our jersey or moleskin jackets.
