This season, men’s outerwear is defined by bold shapes and seductive textures – a prevailing mood of the A/W 2023 menswear collections captured in a new photo series by London-based photographer Umit Savaci and stylist David St John James, which appears in the Wallpaper* September 2023 Style Issue (on international newsstands now).
The bold silhouettes of this season’s men’s outerwear
Jacket; trousers; shoes, all price on request, by Jil Sander by Lucie and Luke Meier
Volume will prove key as the temperature drops this autumn and winter – whether the sculptural silhouette of an enormous padded Loewe overcoat, the bold shoulder of an elongated leather trench by Anthony Vaccarello at Saint Laurent, or an enveloping Paul Smith houndstooth raincoat – this is outerwear which will do the wrapping up for you.
Elsewhere, a selection of clothing and accessories to complete the season’s elegant menswear look: panelled and oversized felted-wool tailoring by designers Luke and Lucie Meier at Jil Sander, a slim-leg black patent trouser from Maximilian Davis at Ferragamo, or a perennially classic Prada shirt and tie. Or, indeed, a leather bucket bag from Bottega Veneta in the Italian house’s distinct intrecciato weave.
