Timeless Staples
We’re big advocates of buying long-lasting, high-quality fashion here at McArthurGlen La Reggia Designer Outlet, and we’ve demonstrated our commitment to sustainability through our Evolve programme and net- zero target. One way you can help to lessen the fashion industry’s environmental impact is by investing in timeless style, building a wardrobe of pieces that look amazing whatever decade you're in. Opting to invest in a ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic which includes minimalist silhouettes, classic tailored pieces and an understated colour palette, is a smart way to do this. Build a timeless wardrobe around classic silhouettes: we’re thinking a tailored wool overcoat by Brooks Brothers', cosy heritage knits by Falconeri and Boggi, classic cotton shirts and smart tapered chinos by Harmont&Blaine, and an ever dependable navy blazer by Spada. With a solid base of fine luxury essentials, you can make a few discerning additions each season and slowly build your wardrobe out into something you can be proud of.
Accessories
Classic silhouettes call for classic accessories so invest in the best dress shoes, bags, and small leather goods that money can buy in order to stand the test of time.
Tracksuits
From the athletics fields of the 1930s, the tracksuit has been an essential piece of sporting kit but it wasn’t until the 60s when Adidas launched their first style, which was then adopted by hip- hop culture, that the tracksuit became fashion currency. This season sees the classic grey cotton tracksuit become a key part of collections at the likes of Dior, Fendi, and Dolce & Gabbana, injecting an effortless loungewear vibe into everyday style. Jump on the trend with supersoft oversized hoodies by Adidas and Puma, as well as cotton jersey zip-ups in neutral tones by Sundek. Pair the tops with matching joggers with baggy silhouettes before signing off the uber comfortable look with some oversized sneakers by Nike.
Accessories
Dial up the comfort factor with soft-toned accessories to partner the tracksuit trend, with sneakers, textural caps, and neutral tone holdalls adding to the easy-going elegance.
Caramel
Earthy tones are a no-brainer for autumn as Mother Nature indulges us in a colour extravaganza, but one that really stood out on the runways was caramel, the deliciously rich tone that is going to be sweetening all of our seasonal wardrobes. From head-to-toe caramel looks to statement pieces like tan leather jackets by Tommy Hilfiger and caramel tailoring by Fratelli Ragusa, this trend brings warmth and sophistication in equal measure. Embrace 70s influences with buttery soft suede jackets by LiuJo Uomo and corduroy tailoring by the likes of Napapijri, both of which add depth and texture to your outfits. A chunky caramel roll neck jumper by BOSS adds a touch of decadence to a pair of winter chinos and some smart brogues or loafers.
Accessories
The golden tones of a caramel wardrobe really shine with tonal accessories so opt for bags, leather gloves and belts with tan accents to bring the sweetness to the surface.
Classic Tailoring
It wasn’t that long ago that relaxed oversized suits were staking a claim on the world’s most stylish runways, but this season the likes of Paul Smith, Prada, and Hermès are leading the pack on a return to classic tailoring proportions. Super sleek and elegant single-breasted navy or black suits by Fratelli Ragusa set the sartorial bar high for autumn, paired with elegant white shirts by Lacoste, or better, fine-gauge wool rollneck sweaters by designers such as Falconeri and Eddy Monetti. The silhouettes are flatteringly svelte and timeless, making this trend a fantastic one to get a tonne of mileage from. Perfect proportions like these are great when offset with a pair of chunky dress shoes by [brand], giving the look a dose of modernity.
Accessories
The timeless elegance of classic suiting can be dialled up a notch by adding a host of discerning winter accessories from smart black dress shoes to leather bags and gloves.
