Louie Relaxed Twill Double-Pleated Trouser

Tailoring is the loudest story on the FW26 runway and the quietest in the sales data — Italian menswear turnover fell 2.1% in 2025, to €11.2bn. Drôle's red virgin-wool peacoat is the counter-argument: made in France, priced in euros, and the only genuinely loud thing in an outfit that is otherwise all restraint. The Vince merino and the D Mirror turtleneck are both mid layers, which is the trick — turtleneck first, crew over it, so the neck is solved and the coat has somewhere to open. The Louie trousers are straight, not wide. And the shoe is the Tabi, the most architectural object in the catalog, a boot whose entire premise is that a foot has two parts. In a look about construction it is the only correct answer.

SkipVince's Suede Shirt Jacket at $1,598. The Nubuck Leather Trucker is the same money and does three times the work — suede is a fair-weather material in a winter issue.
