The Edit: Sandro Man winter 2019 collection

French fashion-stalwart Sandro Man has been busy putting together a more formal collection just in time for the fall/winter season.

The more relaxed pieces of the summer are no more, and in their place a wardrobe halfway between formal tailoring and street-style spontaneity. Tailoring is huge for Sandro Man this season, which is put together with typical Parisian nonchalance: two or three-button wool suits are worn – without interruption – with a t-shirt or turtleneck.

Shirling Denim Jacket AED1,495

Expect prim and proper black leather boots or derbies for the feet, along with three-quarter length wool coats. Business stripes are back in fashion, but this time given a casual feel, and – unusually – some new fabrics also make their winter debut, including stonewashed denim.

Sandro Man took inspiration from the working-class elegance of The Smith’s former front man, which matches the authenticity of a workwear wardrobe. Elsewhere, expect chunky knits, zip-roll necks and hand-knit jumpers paired with oversized lumberjack shirts.

Statement pieces, such as bulky aviator jackets worn oversized, as well as denim jackets worn with high-neck sailor jumpers.

From a colour perspective, Sandro has embraced electric green or vivid pink in statement pieces.

The entire collection falls in line with the brand’s merging of vintage or street references, with up-to-the-minute aesthetic.

It’s tradition meets modernity, all wrapped up with refined elegance.

Apollo Jacket AED2,490

For the Winter 2019 collection, the Sandro Man studio has put together a wardrobe halfway between formal tailoring and the spontaneity of the street.

The tailoring is crafted with a distinctly Parisian nonchalance. The two or three-button wool suits are worn – without interruption – with a t-shirt or turtleneck. On the feet, black leather boots or derbies with a grooved sole set the tempo for three-quarter length wool cloth coats. There is a recurrent obsession with business stripes, but they are given a casual feel. Raglan armholes and stonewashed denim affirm the look’s easy vibe. The studio wrong-foots the bourgeois codes of a Parisian wardrobe and brings herringbone and houndstooth check motifs to life, in the style of Morrissey.

The working-class elegance of The Smiths’ former frontman goes hand in hand with the authenticity of a workwear wardrobe. The Sandro man spontaneously slips on a zip roll neck, a chunky hand-knit jumper and a lumberjack overshirt. He plays with the volumes of aviator jackets, whether oversized or more fitted. His overalls are made of denim and worn with a high-neck sailor jumper. His corduroy or denim jacket features an ecru shearling lining. When he’s looking for a striking colour, he plumps for electric green or vivid pink.

The style direction falls in line with the brand’s consistent vocabulary, merging vintage or street culture references with a pure, up-to-the-minute aesthetic. The studio blends tradition and modernity with a refined elegance.
