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 duffl e 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.

SQUAD
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 fl ashes of bold colour on jumpers
and zip-thru hoodies.
Make the team with Sports Squad.

SPORTS SQUAD | 62
“Sports Squad is a heavily layered look which is inspired by the slopes and urban streetwear.”ANDY GRANT, DESIGNER
The Inspiration
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
fi sherman knits, quilted gilets and hooded duffl es. 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.
