Margaret Howell's Clean Aesthetic, Updated
This season, Margaret Howell is characterized by its use of heavy, traditional British tailoring fabrics, incorporating elements from archive collections. This tendency is particularly evident in the outerwear, where tops made from substantial materials are given a boxy silhouette for a sense of lightness, paired with tapered trousers to create a sophisticated style.

Casual Accents on British Heavy Melton Fabric
A car coat (driving coat) is a short-length outerwear that allows for driving a car while wearing it, a style favored by gentlemen who owned open-top cars in the past. At Margaret Howell, the key is to pair it with slim-fit trousers with a center pleat for a sleek impression.
This season's car coat features heavy Melton fabric, a hallmark of the collection, with casual accents of cotton twill on the back lining and pocket linings. While Melton is available in a single dark navy color this season, note that car coats are also offered in different materials.

This is a truly classic British outerwear piece that can be worn from now through mid-winter and into early spring.
This is Margaret Howell's original design for a field jacket, crafted using the lightweight material found in the regular lineup of Barbour, a leading British outerwear brand. The slim fit and lightweight oiled cloth complement each other, creating a sleek silhouette.
