Daks, a BDMOTP favorite, showed an elegant and classical British collection at Milano Fashion Week. Based on the sartorial tailoring of the ever-so-stylish British gentleman, Daks provides some insight on how real men should dress.

This season, modern takes on traditional styles shook things up. Distinguished models strutted the runway to classic jazz tunes in their houndstooth, plaid and herringbone wear.

Of course, we see the elegant prints like plaid, stripes and patterns, but expect them mixed together for AW17/18. Jackets with cutouts and extra high-waisted pants, while still seemingly preppy, gave the looks an edge.

Details are ever present, with leather gloves and briefcases and fitted hats all forming part of the line. Highlights for BDMOTP were the Daks take on the man cape, fitted to let the arms out and turtlenecks under suit jackets and tailored shirts. Look for hints of silver, giving some shine to a collection based upon a blustery, grey London.
