There is something rather reassuring about the return of proper tailoring. After years in which relaxed silhouettes and increasingly casual wardrobes have dominated menswear, Autumn/Winter 2026 marks a welcome return to a more commanding way of dressing. Shoulders are broader, silhouettes sharper and the suit, once again, is taking centre stage.
For our latest fashion story, we took Australian supermodel Jordan Barrett to the streets of Mayfair, a neighbourhood that has long been synonymous with some of the finest tailoring in the world. Against a backdrop of grand Georgian architecture and the historic streets surrounding Savile Row, we explore a new era of power dressing.
From the traditional craftsmanship of Henry Poole & Co and Huntsman to the contemporary elegance of Brioni, Paul Smith and P.Johnson, this season's collections demonstrate the enduring appeal of a beautifully cut suit. Statement overcoats, structured shoulders, rich fabrics and considered accessories bring a renewed confidence to the modern gentleman's wardrobe.
