While a timeless mode of dress is acquired by tailored suiting and outerwear in subdued tones, personality is delivered in spades when approaching the more elaborate garments. Playing with patterns and layering for an end of the world freeze, Westwood plays a charming hand, creating a world where the fur coated gentleman can co-exist with the pattern mixing deviant who boasts a penchant for off the cuff silhouettes.

Overlooking no facet in the life of their debonair man, the lineup transitions from sharp outerwear and companion pieces of warm wool to a more relaxed gesture that sees Dolce & Gabbana turn to their infamous silk. Whether worn as an exquisite set of pajamas or a bold move outdoors, the regal execution is the perfect touch to a collection that spares no expense.
