Men’s Workwear Jackets
Originally designed as a durable and functional jacket for labourers alike, workwear-style jackets offer up a hybrid styling solution to effortlessly pair for a laidback look.
From being suitable for wear in the depths of winter thanks to sherpa-lined styles from key designer brands such as Levis and Dickies, to lightweight styles ready for smart summer evenings, this structured jacket can transform any outfit into an effortlessly cool look. Typically made from sturdy materials such as canvas, denim and twill, there’s a workwear-inspired jacket suitable for all seasons and can be easily layered to create a variety of looks. With popular brands such as Carhartt WIP and Dickies turning this jacket into a signifier of an on-trend modern man, our range of utilitarian jackets are a must-have in your spring/summer wardrobe this year.
If you’re looking to adopt this classic outerwear style this season, this GANT Cotton Windcheater Jacket offers the perfect neutral colourway and structure that will pair well with your entire wardrobe. In a simple beige colourway and sporting a slightly oversized fit, this jacket allows you to get creative with the rest of your look, while remaining effortlessly put together. Whether you opt for minimal styling in line with our predicted menswear trends of 2025, or you opt for a dare-ish contrasting patterned shirt, the GANT Windcheater jacket acts as the perfect canvas to experiment with your personal style this season.
Pioneers of the workwear jacket, Carhartt WIP are renowned for their iconic silhouettes, widely recognised as being a key signifier of the ultimate laidback style. This Carhartt WIP Double Front Jacket serves as a great versatile foundation to build an effortlessly look with minimal effort involved. Boasting an alternative denim material as opposed to the classic chore coat canvas, this denim style is perfect for those looking for a unique take on a traditional sturdy staple.

Men’s Oversized T-Shirts
Inspired by the laidback, streetwear aesthetic, an oversized t-shirt offers a simple yet fashion-forward look that appeals to a broad range of fashion tastes. Providing a more relaxed fit than a classic t-shirt, this style features dropped shoulders, boxy fits and roomy sleeves.
Gone are the days of a fitted, slimline t-shirt, this loose silhouette is now a must-have item to add to your wardrobe. Ideal for all seasons, but getting its moment to shine solely in the spring and summer t-shirt weather, the oversized tee not only gives off a cool, carefree vibe but also offers practical comfort to keep you cool no matter your shape or size.
Dickies Bricklane T-Shirt, Carhartt WIP Pocket T-Shirt and Edwin Sun Graphic T-Shirt
It’s a well-known statement that a reliable plain white tee never goes out of style, and investing in a loose-fitting silhouette such as the Dickies Bricklane T-Shirt is guaranteed to be a spring/summer favourite this year.

Similarly, a black t-shirt is just as versatile and is perfect for those who like to lean on a darker colour palette even in the warmer weather. This Edwin Sun Graphic T-Shirt features oversized sleeves with a more tailored boxy fit and a fun graphic logo to bring interest to an otherwise plain t-shirt. Draw on the colour of the graphic and pair it with a co-ordinating set of shoes or shorts to create a fun yet cohesive look.
For those who like to add a pop of colour or fun print to their spring/summer wardrobe a patterned oversized t-shirt like this Carhartt WIP Pocket T-Shirt is perfect. A striped t-shirt is a classic to add a point of interest to an outfit, especially if it’s in a bright colourway. This type of oversized tee pairs best through the spring/summer months with a plain trouser or short option.
Men’s Short-Shorts

Men’s low-profile trainers
With the emergence of the Adidas Gazelle’s dominating mainstream fashion last year, the popularity of low-profile, minimal trainers has continued into this year. The sleek design of the low-profile trend is what sets it apart from the chunky sneaker, making room for more retro-inspired styles to enter the market. Originally designed for racing pros, the low-profile trainer features a variety of both bold colourways and sporty styles that cater to a range of personal preferences.. Ideal for day-to-day casual wear, this style of footwear is perfect for this season, giving you the perfect clean and classic trainer silhouette to effortlessly work around outfits.
New Balance BB480 Leather Trainers, Puma Suede VTG F PAM Suede Trainers and Vans Filmore Suede Trainers
Arguably the best trainer to have in your collection, a clean, all-white sneaker is a must-have footwear option to have to hand throughout spring and summer. This year, the chunky white trainer has been replaced by the more sleek, low-profile version that brings a more sophisticated edge to your everyday casual look. If you’re searching for a versatile shoe to see you through every occasion this season, the New Balance BB480 Leather Trainers are the perfect option.
It wouldn’t be spring and summer if there wasn’t a bold statement piece in your wardrobe, and what better way to inject colour into your outfits this season than with a brightly coloured trainer. In the last few months, colourful footwear has become more and more popular, with influencers and celebrities alike leaning towards a statement shoe to bring an edge to everyday casual outfits. This pair of Puma Suede VTG F PAM Suede Trainers perfectly blends the low-profile trainer silhouette with the colourblocking trend to bring an iconic footwear option that is guaranteed to make heads turn this season.
On the other end of the spectrum, a black pair of trainers are also a casual essential to offer variety for outfits with a dark colour palette.
