The look: Town and country
Silhouette: Casual layers, classic tailoring

Shearling and leather coats or gilets bring a rustic touch into play teamed with chunky knits and easy cargo pants, complete with nautical-inspired reefer jackets and overscaled blanket wool coats offset with the contrast of a vividly coloured down-filled lining
Colour: Multiple tones of grey teamed with camel, terracotta and brick with accents of burgundy and saxe blue, winter white, bone and vivid azure

Miharayasuhiro
Poor boy tailoring, a hint of nautical and vintage country looks combine for an offbeat mix at Miharayasuhiro, where contrast braided trims help define the revamped silhouettes.
The look: Little Lord Fauntleroy-meets-country gent
Silhouette: Shrunken and layered
Key items: The shrunken poor-boy SB or DB is worked with knee-length shorts and high-buttoned waistcoats (vests: US), layered over leggings or teamed with heavy-gauge knitted socks. Cropped pant shapes and truncated jackets offer an alternative silhouette while knickerbockers and gilets—in padded Aran knit or rabbit fur – or tailoring worked in a trompe l’oeil Aran-knit print bring countrified influences into play. The duffel gets a makeover, reworked with an asymmetric caped sleeve and Admiral jackets come with unravelled bullion epaulettes. And to keep the look grounded, a luxe shearling gilet, a slick aviator jacket and a short reefer coat
Colour: Indigo, camel, a range of rich tan and chestnut browns

The house’s signature leather and suede come as soft pants, an easy suede shirt or a leather all-in-one, with cabled knits adding the final luxe touch

Raf Simons
Raf Simons redefines menswear with his groundbreaking collection of breathtakingly simple pieces, techno fabrications and vivid colour. This is design aesthetic at its purest, no tricksy details, just beautiful clothes.
The look: Modern simplicity
Silhouette: Streamlined and boxy or reed thin
Key items: Simons takes the basics of a man’s wardrobe and reworks them with the subtlest of details – the duffel comes with coloured toggles or in bonded flannel for a sculpted feel. The parka is stripped down to its essentials and reworked in poppy red flannel; the tailored SB is reworked as a boxy jacket and coats are turned into simple A-line tunics with a single toggle closure. Boxy Harringtons, wide-legged pants and knee-length tunic knits or classic crew-neck Fair Isle sweaters, a striped brushed mohair shell top and apron-like overlayers complete the look
Colour: A classic palette of camel, black, burgundy and grey, with modernist accents of fuchsia, poppy red and ultraviolet
Fabric & knit: Techno bonded flannel gives the collection its edge, creating the simplest sculpted silhouettes and contrasted with cashmere, brushed mohair and wet-look patent
Print & pattern: Fair Isles patterns for knitwear, a dead prince college logo, shirting checks

Other bottomweights include coated and pieced jeans, leather biker pants, kilts and vivid velvet cuffed trousers. Jacquard cardigans and sweaters layered over plaid shirts or under tartan tailoring and biker jackets are teamed with classic SB suiting for an offbeat look, while vivid colour-blocking gives a classic blazer, slim-legged pants and V-necked knits a fashion twist

Key items: Tailoring is cut into fluid and streamlined silhouettes, as Van Assche teamed the season’s most fluid pant shapes with monastic shirt jackets or narrow-lapel SBs. Elsewhere he layers an SB over an elongated high-buttoned cutaway collarless jacket or teams a simple long-sleeved shell top over matching pants as an alternative to the classic suit. Capes add to the fluid feel, while edge-to-edge buttonless double-faced coats and fine-gauge knits reinforce the overriding message of luxurious simplicity

The look: Modern and minimal
Silhouette: Sparse and boxy
Key items: Buttonless coats and collarless jackets mark the modern minimalism that runs through this collection, with flat-front boxy tailoring teamed with matching jog pants, or worn in mismatched layers over elongated tunic tops. Leather sleeves add to the layered feel along with ribbed sweaters or a biker jacket worn over SB jackets, as well as the ochre all-in-one teamed with a classic blazer. And in keeping with other shows this weekend, the boxy tunic featured, here with fur pockets and a cowl neckline
Colour: Inky blues, French navy and cobalt, olive and taupe with accents of emerald green and old gold or ochre

Ann Demeulemeester
The unexpected introduction of colour to Ann Demeulemeester’s signature monochrome palette brings a new definition to her menswear line, as she deconstructs tailoring and gives it an edgy vibe.
The look: Deconstructed gothic rocker
Silhouette: Skinny and layered
Key items: Demeulemeester sticks to a simple formula of high-buttoned vest - sometimes unbuttoned to expose fronds of goat hair -- and deconstructed lean jackets layered over semi-sheer skinny pants in a dark over a bright, creating a veiled look. Her skinny jacket shapes are spliced at the waist to fall into sharp angular panels with low-buttoned tux-style waistcoats worn almost like belts forming collaged effects. There are unstructured biker hybrids to add to the edgy rocker vibe and the designer’s signature historical romantic looks come through in her military greatcoat or the lean knee-length frockcoat
Colour: Grey and black form the core of the palette, with French navy and mole brown and unexpected accents of brights in the form of flame red, scarlet and old gold
Fabric & knit: Leather and suede, shearling and goat hair, semi-sheers, velvet, suitings
Print & pattern: A tonal shadow stripe and coordinated geometric print, an engineered splatter pattern on suiting
Details & trims: Covered buttons, notched edges to form angular panels

Accessories: Gauntlets, toning scarves
