Tweeds, cords and waxed fabrics add a distinctively British feel to Heritage and give this look an off-duty country gentleman twist. Rust, wine and tobacco are key colours for Heritage where casual items, such as cable knits, checked jackets and duffle coats, counterbalance smarter classic shirts and trousers. Traditional trims and fastenings further the trend theme that runs throughout.
Go back to British roots for Heritage.

Sports Squad is our take on urban styling for autumn. Layering is the buzzword for this trend: mixing high shine and matt textures with utility denim and chunky knits is the key. The colour palette is important too: navy and black shades are brightened up with cool neutrals and vibrant flashes of bold colour on jumpers and zip-thru hoodies. Make the team with Sports Squad.

Great British explorers such as Sir Ernest Shackleton and Scott of the Antarctic are cited as the source of inspiration for this casual trend. Hard-wearing classic pieces make up the main body of this look: try chunky fisherman knits, quilted gilets and hooded duffles. The introduction of colourful plaid checks and Fair Isle patterns break up the browns, greens and neutrals. Faux fur and borg linings add texture and further the well-travelled philosophy behind Expo.
Worldly gentlemen, this is the look for you.
