Closing London Fashion Week, Men’s Day is when the nation’s menswear luminaries - from established names like Oliver Spencer to current wunderkind JW Anderson - present their collections. We asked Jeremy Langmead, editor-in-chief of menswear website Mr Porter (and former Wallpaper* editor) to cast his expert eye over proceedings. He sent us back this report, with snapshots, wry observations and his personal take on the main talking points both on and off the catwalk.

Drinks play an important part of any fashion day involving menswear. The dirty martinis served at the Rake presentation in one of Claridge’s penthouses were most uplifting. And the views from the terrace weren’t bad either

With the changeable weather on Wednesday, it seemed that knitwear was a popular choice to replace a jacket or coat. Quite a few editors wore a cardigan and tie combo; others, including the musician Labarinth, were sporting a poloneck under their suit jacket
