As the UK parts ways with the EU through Brexit, it's leaving behind a legacy of sharp style. Explore the enduring heritage of British fashion in menswear.
The future of London Fashion Week and British designers remains uncertain with Brexit finalization in up to two years. Yet for centuries, British fashion has quietly shaped men's wardrobes worldwide, from head to toe.
The Iconic Bowler Hat
England gave the world the bowler hat, a mythical felt headpiece made famous by Charlie Chaplin. Originally for gamekeepers, it became a symbol of respectability. Today, it's the bold stylist's go-to accessory.
Effortless Trench Coat Elegance
With sunny days ahead, trade the puffer jacket for a trench coat. This 'trench coat'—straight from Shakespeare's tongue—propelled Burberry to fame in the last century. Its long canvas design in beige, khaki, or navy is a mid-season essential.
#Dandy Brogues
In Irish and Scots Gaelic, 'brog' means shoe—the origin of 'brogues,' which the French call 'Richelieu.' Once humble laced leather footwear with perforations from a century ago, they're now Instagram favorites for their dandy charm, perfect for elevating any suit.
Britain keeps its rubber wellies and punk bondage trousers. But they've shared these menswear staples freely—no take-backs needed!
