Double-Pleated Trousers
Pleats are (still) everywhere, signalling elegance and taste to those that know. There’s a practical benefit to them too: more space around the crotch means greater comfort – and fewer blowouts than jeans. Now might be the time to step it up.
Cashmere Outerwear
Cashmere is an eternally elegant way to elevate your outerwear, but this trend is defined by its focus on pared-back design. Scandi brands are leading the way with an appealingly grungy take on minimalism.
Belgian Loafers
Subtly styled Belgian loafers do away with the standard strap. Soft, rounded toes conjure the elegance of a slipper while staying robust enough to be a daily shoe.
A Single Shock of Colour
Sent down the runways of Paris and Milan by the likes of Emporio Armani, Willy Chavarria and Prada, mustard yellows, acid greens, primary reds and shocking blues are all proving mighty partners for loose, monochrome tailoring.
Western Belts
Americana style in AW26 has homed in on the western belt. Instead of sticking to cowboy denim, pair it with tailoring to create a stylish tension.
Chocolate Brown
Brown is joining navy, black, white and grey as a staple of our time. With so many brands producing in this tone, the opportunity for you here is huge.
Striped Ties

Light-Tinted Sunnies
Light-tinted sunnies are back. Established as a defining feature of Y2K by Justin Timberlake, Eminem, David Beckham and 50 Cent, they have returned as a more subtle style just in time for the low light of winter.
