The Overall Mood
 A
renewed interest in tailoring is seen on single and double-breasted jackets,
overcoats and macs.
Traditional sports jackets make a return in checked wools and flannels
with leather patches, while suits are updated with brightly contrasting
underfelts and colourful linings.
Colours
- Softened colours worn in similar shades are blended in either the
fabric or by the combinations chosen
- Darks are important with the return of the totally black silhouette
- Tinted grey reflects the mood for more utilitarian styling with deep
charcoal acting as the focus
- Blues increase in importance with inky navies worn with black and
charcoal
- Neutrals are cool and frosty
- Earth tones continue strongly with hints of berry and amber

Themes
Urban
Utility
Inspired by Army and Navy styling and traditional uniforms of the workforce,
this raw and simple look rejects the recent retro and worn looks of last
season.
Key items include the double-breasted pea coat, dungarees, and military
detailing.
Old
School
Leaning towards the American and British classic sportswear we see cardigans,
college stripes, and rugby shirts make a return.
Expedition
All-weather clothing, designed to combat the elements, takes inspiration
from explorers and polar expeditions.
Styling focuses on extreme winter sports such as rock climbing, mountaineering
and cross-country skiing. Padded parkas and gilets are worn with fur
trims and hoods.
Smooth
Operator
This is a confident look that marks a return to the tailored silhouette,
a dandy style which features the velvet jacket as the key item of the
season.
This is a look for the party season which features real elements of
luxury. Key items include blazers with patch pockets, waistcoats and
dress shirts.
