Take a look at some of the best style at London Fashion Week
25 April 2019Documenting some of the strongest menswear looks at LFW SS18.
Home to some of the most progressive design voices on the planet, London is famed for it's rebellious and subversive contribution to the global style zeitgeist.
Steeped in a rich heritage of influential subcultures, and the exhibition space of favour among fashion's most promising emerging voices, London Fashion Week remains a paragon of inner-city grit where the finest new Balenciaga sneakers pound the litter-strewn pavements with the masses as they move from show to show.
Following on from our coverage of New York Fashion Week's best sartorial style, our man on the streets Robert Spangle captured some of the best men's style at LFW SS18.
Minimalist sportswear is elevated with a deft selection of statement accessories. Crossbody sling packs emerge as a key trend, paired with a casual cargo pant and statement sneaker for a clean utility finish.
Classic sartorialism is given the casual treatment, with moody anthracite greys offering respite from black. This softer take on tailoring provides the back drop for casual linen shirts and urban weekend holdalls.
The go-to palette of white, black, and grey is a paragon of constant reinvention. Pair a classic denim jacket with a pair of statement sweatpants for an off-duty look with a sense of purpose.
Crisp Japanese cotton prevails as the textile of favour, with loose comfortable silhouettes appealing to the everyday man with a proclivity for well-crafted essentials. Inspired by the loose fitting shapes popular in traditional Japanese menswear, key brands to shop include VISVIM, orSlow, and Buddy.
