Modern Silhouettes Reimagined

A standout piece in black is this special order Baracuta 'G3' blouson from Margaret Howell. The fit, including the length and sleeve width, along with the balance of each component, has been artfully adapted to Margaret Howell's signature modern silhouette. While maintaining a compact form, it utilizes a lighter cotton-linen blend, available in black and stone.

The boxy jacket, also featured in the collection, is crafted from a crisp cotton-linen blend. Styled with matching trousers in the same material, it offers a relaxed, contemporary feel for this season. Paired with a high-quality Egyptian cotton T-shirt, it creates an effortlessly sophisticated look.

Embrace Spring/Summer Elegance

A striking vest, worn simply by a model on the collection's runway, captures attention. Details from Margaret Howell's popular 'Guernsey sweater', such as the collar and hem, are incorporated to lend a modern sensibility. The classic regular-collar linen shirt is a brand icon, crafted from signature material. The contrast with trousers featuring a center crease adds a refined touch.

This special order polo shirt from John Smedley uses premium Sea Island cotton. The placket deliberately omits buttons, creating a subtle, clean sense of ease when worn.

Checks Expressed in Navy Tones

This crisp linen shirt features a modern check pattern rendered in varying shades of navy. It's perfect layered under a jacket for a sophisticated look, or paired with shorts in the summer for a chic ensemble. Margaret Howell's collection this season also offers a rich selection of linen-blend socks, including argyle patterns and color-blocked designs. Consider adding a touch of linen to your footwear.
