MODERN UTILITY MENSWEAR

Expect to see surprising pocket details on chinos and jogger pants.

The cargo pockets of old have been replaced with a more minimal design and instead of adding bulk, they are sleek and unobtrusive.

Think roll-neck sweaters worn under parkas and trench coats.

Layering is a great way to modernise a utilitarian style. Pair a plain white tee and zip-through hoodie under a bomber jacket for a simple but fresh streetwear look.

The introduction of faux fur trims to soften the look.

Don’t be surprised to see a lot more shearling and Sherpa-style trims in hood linings and on the cuffs of military-style jackets.

The classic trench coat has been re-imagined.

Zipper sleeve details and high buttoned collars are just some of the quirky ways in which this military trend has been reinvented for a more formal look.

The colour palette is moody and classic.

Charcoal and black add a sense of formality to this look while the more traditional tones of khaki, chocolate and camel also feature strongly.
