You ain't seen nothing Yeti...

This season French Connection menswear takes inspiration from deeply masculine locales - starting off with a PRISON story, presenting styles and details with a heavily distressed penitentiary influence. The collection moves on to revel in a HORROR theme where colour, texture and print work symbiotically to convey darkest winter. Finally, the range leads in to Christmas with a colourful and kitsch MOUNTAINEERING inspired collection.

The season starts with a nod to 1930s work wear. Soft powder pinks and Oxford blues are complemented by micro spots and stripes and vintage bib or removable collar detailing. Chic fine knits, chambray shirts, a salt and pepper suit, and a dark cotton trench raincoat are all pieces to check out.

The mood darkens with the introduction of the Gothic. Take your pick from horrifically cool Beetlejuice striped shirts, motor jackets in leather, or a delicious maroon wool suit with white tipping and buttons. The mountaineering story provides technical down-filled removable linings, ropes and toggles, paired with fashionable gingham shirts and covetable knitwear.

FCUK presents vibrant street sportswear with highlights of 'pop' colours. Bold dark wash denim and a base monochrome palette are livened up with bright piping on baseball jackets and bold prints. A Scooby Doo-esque take on horror introduces fun colours and graphics in a macabre way - all-over spider web prints, tongue-in-cheek slogans, eye-popping eyeball graphics. Bright colours prevail with hip-hop style retro track tops.

FC72 focuses on heavy detailing to liven up staples such as a cotton donkey jacket or denim dungarees. Overdying, paint-splattering, crushed knits, and heavy stitching all lend to a distressed penitentiary feel, solidified with a fun barbed wire stripe print. Bondage and a Thriller-esque vibe introduce tapered jeans with oversize zips, ripped denim, waxed marble jeans, and even the Tombstone Zombies, a zombie football team!

The season ends on a softer note, with brushed cottons and cosy bright chunky knits with FairIsle detailing. Flag logos, floral prints, tartan branding, and a Puffa gilet all give an outdoorsy feel, while the key slogan T-shirt sums up the feel of the entire collection.
