LFW closed with Men’s Day. Though this is the last time that the menswear shows in London will be confined to a single day at the end of women’s Fashion Week. Come June, the men’s presentations will span an entire 3 days,

Key looks seen were sequins on knitwear, structured and luxurious fabrics like black velvet trousers worn either skinny or loose fitted.

Standout pieces from Men’s day was the English-made suiting in wool and herringbone blends displaying impeccable tailoring.

Professor Chic Look
