Margaret Howell went military this season, with a utilitarian collection perfect for a brisk country stroll. Her early Sunday morning show kick started with a double-breasted cashmere coat, belted at the waist and accessorised with an army green beret. A series of exquisitely cut jackets in khaki green, brown and grey soon followed. Buttoned up at the front, with their collars neatly turned up against the cold, they created an elegant and sophisticated silhouette. But it was Margaret’s must-have assortment of pleated skirts, tailored trousers, chunky knits and masculine brogues that really made the show. Classic and sophisticated, they are the perfect addition to any wardrobe, cementing Margaret’s reputation as the go to label for laidback simplicity and easy breezy cool.
