Chinese designer Xander Zhou chose London Collections: Men as the destination for his first show in the capital. King of the underdogs shirt Surrounded by a wealth of young up and comers, the young creative was among the cream of the crop this year. Demonstrating a fresh and unhampered display of fluent wearable clothing. Entitled Fleurdelism, the collection was inspired by the great outdoors; a theme that acted as a spacial reenactment for the attire to follow. Outerwear was baggy and fine tuned, Mr Zhou encased his muses in a protective armour of overcoats, shielding them from the realms of the outside world. In sharp notes of black and white, the opening eradicated all thoughts of extremism. His freedom of expression was evident after the all white affair, leading to stinging shots of red silk. Some of which was woven together in patterns that were representative of tree barks and cracks in the ground – a humbling dose of reality.

Suiting might have won the Trend of the Year award, King of the underdogs shirt but following the success and longevity of suiting as a whole, it has officially become a wardrobe staple in closets everywhere rather than a fleeting trend. Tailored separates have now graced more runways, celebrities, and street style stars than we anticipated, and according to our readers, that is due to the fact that this trend is the “most wearable for everyday while still always looking chic.” If both the S/S and F/W runways taught us anything this year, it was that the industry is taking a drastic shift away from gimmicky trends and toward a more approachable way of dressing. Suiting is one of the most notable key players within that movement, as you can wear the pieces together or separate, not only giving you more bang for your buck but also rounding out your wardrobe. Who What Wear’s editor in chief, Kat Collings, is very on board with the suiting lifestyle. “All hail the suit. I can’t think of a trend that was more beloved this year by the fashion set,” she told us. Beyond the wearability of the trend, our readers are keen to partake in the style for reasons that dig even deeper. “I think it really puts a pinpoint on the androgynous way of dressing in the modern fashion climate,” says one reader. Women have officially reclaimed the power suit as their own, and there aren’t any boundaries in terms of occasion, styling, or even price point. The shopping selection below will prove exactly that.
