Casely-Hayford A/W 17

The humble grandad collar shirt. Great detail with oversized contrast button and the button stand. I love that grey coat that’s underneath. The parka has a fantastic print, the pockets and the Velcro fastenings are all great design details. What works well are the different coat lengths, a great feature as the usual way to wear a double coat is the shorter coat underneath and the longer coat on top, this is a lovely way of mixing it up a little.

The grandad collar continues. A really lovely checked four button double breasted blazer. The contrast with the chalk stripe trousers is interesting and adds another level to this outfit. The cropped knitted jumper is a beautiful shade of teal green, but you can’t really see the rib work that’s incorporated into the design which is a shame.

I really love those trousers, the drape, the fullness around the ankles, sharpe pleats and the texture to the fabric just beautiful. Simple stripe jumper, the extended neck rib adds another layer to this whole look. A wonderful single breasted overcoat, simple and beautiful.

This is a fantastic reworking of the tracksuit top. I love the detail of the high rib neck turning into a roll neck, it looks amazing. Great zip detail to give it that finish. The trousers have a fantastic print to them and it all works really well with that beautiful grey overcoat.

The crop length is used throughout this show. Beautiful crop grandad collar shirt. I’m not sure if the waistcoat is apart of the shirt or if it’s a separate garment but what I do know is that it’s the same fabric as the shirt, the shoulders are extended to give structure to the look. The trouser are the same chalk stripe trousers as before.

Such a beautiful grey double breasted overcoat. I really love that functional lapels and the way it’s pulled over the neckline. The trousers have a great look to them, I like the distressed treads but incorporated into a polka dot pattern.

A wonderfully tailored single breasted suit. The big rib roll neck tracksuit top as before. Lovely double zip detail, I like the styling with the bottom zip open.

A beautiful double breasted blazer, I love that grey fabric. A gorgeous colour blocked waistcoat underneath. Beautiful leather bands and pocket flaps. The trousers are as before with that wonderful ethnic print. 

A beautiful collection, quintessentially British. Wonderful overcoats, I really like the parka with the print worn on top of a longer overcoat, lovely styling. The knits have unusual asymmetric necklines, the colours are fantastic especially the teal. Prints are subtle and have a depth and texture. The tailoring is soft and full of detail, great pleats and extended waistbands. The fabric in checks and one of my favourites the chalk stripes work so well. The sportsluxe crossover doesn’t seem to be losing momentum, the tracksuit top with the double zip detail and that amazing extra large rib collar is contrasted with a wonderfully tailored single breasted suit.
