The Guardian's Autumn/Winter 2010/11 Key Trends

S
Ty Ogunkoya models some key trends for autumn/winter 2010/11 for The Guardian UK.
  • Military:
    Christopher Bailey never fails to come up trumps. For the A/W menswear collection, beautifully tailored military coats were set against sheepskin-lined trenches, all referencing the Burberry archive and the original first world war garbardine Burberry coats worn by British soliders. Follow his lead and add a military-inspired piece to your wardrobe.

  • Men's shirts:
    Dries Van Noten does things to clothes that we can only dream about. For A/W10 he seemingly took the scissors to the menswear collection and pieced it back together in the wrong order. Happily the 'wrong' order was, of course, very much right. Follow his lead and make sure your shirt is anything but plain this season.

  • Camel:
    Unless you have been living in a cave you will know that camel is THE colour for A/W. That goes for you chaps too,take your lead from the Gucci collection.Here's how to wear it.

  • Db suits:
    Double-breasted suits have a timeless elegance - it's something about the way they make you hold yourself. Do yourself a favour and invest in one this season. In our humble opinion, this one from Louis Vuitton is the best money can buy.

  • Luscious coats:
    It's that time of year again. Time to invest in your winter coat. The catwalk championed several styles, military, duffle, outdoorsy and of course classically tailored, like this Prada one.

  • Grey:
    So much chicer for men than black. There was plenty of it around for winter on the catwalk. The standout collection was Pringle of Scotland's rich textures, layered up in a symphony of grey. Take a look in your wardrobe - chances are you already have plenty of pieces laying dormant just waiting to be worn together. Take inspiration from these suggestions and start building your grey look today.
