This Season's "Must-Have" Cotton Linen Jacket
This season's first choice is a cotton linen jacket that offers a perfect blend of subtle roughness and natural texture, allowing for casual setups distinct from suits. It highlights the "texture of linen," one of this season's collection keywords.
Woven with a cotton warp and linen weft to a dense weave, this Oxford fabric from MARGARET HOWELL develops a refined texture with wear. The jacket with patch pockets offers a relaxed yet polished look, and when paired with matching trousers, it creates a comfortably coordinated set.
This Spring/Summer, "Daily Setups" Are the Way to Go
"I've paired a slightly slim-silhouette jacket with casual patch pockets with a linen shirt. The key is the rugged leather of the belt and shoes, which grounds the entire look in black while perfectly complementing the linen's texture," says stylist Naoki Ikeda.

The Correct Way to Style "Adult Shorts"
"For this look, I've used the jacket as a standalone piece. I coordinated a light brown t-shirt with beige shorts, and kept the Tricker's bespoke chukka boots in brown as well, dressing up the entire outfit with a navy jacket. The black linen scarf, which was an accent on the runway, adds a nice touch," says stylist Naoki Ikeda.

MARGARET HOWELL x BARACUTA "Double Name" - Focus on British Made
Based on Baracuta's classic "G3," this piece features custom materials and altered details.MARGARET HOWELLThis collaboration expresses a new British tradition.
MARGARET HOWELL has adapted Baracuta's iconic "G3" blouson (swing top), a symbol of British outerwear. With custom cotton-linen fabric, refined details, and of course, made in England. At first glance, it appears authentic, but its fresh color palette, suitable for modern 'tone-on-tone' styling, is captivating. The "joint label," a first for Baracuta, is already generating buzz.
Simply Wearing the Masculine Baracuta
"One of the charms of this Baracuta x MARGARET HOWELL collaboration is the red tartan lining. To make that red pop, I kept the inner layer simple with a light gray t-shirt, aiming for a look that balances sportiness with masculinity," says stylist Naoki Ikeda.

Achieve a Sophisticated Look by Unifying the Overall Tone
"By showing the red lining and unifying the entire color scheme with navy, including the stole, the look is cohesive and smart," says stylist Naoki Ikeda.
