Cool and confident

September 2026

Summer is not quite over yet, but as the weather starts to cool off it is time to layer up and add a range of textures to your outfits.

Early autumn ranges for this year emphasise neutral blues, rich brown colour palettes and designs with a touch of heritage, whether drawing from military, seascape or traditional countryside styles. Key items that will remain wardrobe staples include smart blazers, multi-purpose shirts, wool and suede fabrics, with a burst of colour and patterning.

All brands available at Downtown Stores.
