Colour and more colour was the key at Topman Design whose strong AW13 offering which ran the gamut from white and cream to black but was decidedly centred upon the big three colours of the season; red, orange and burgundy. Topman showcased several big trends for the forthcoming season with a nod to Nordic heritage and mountaineering and fisherman styles especially in the chunky knits and oversized fur trimmed parka coats. What we loved; The oversized backpacks, these are some serious man bags! Short skirt combos, Givenchy esque and totally covetable. Brightly hued cropped peacoats with high collars, these are stand out from the crowd winter jackets. Flowing trousers, if you have the shape, there is no denying that these look good, plain and simple! The cream and white parka coats, there was something very The Empire Strikes Back in these. The dandified tailored black jacket with fur trim; Sharp! All in, Topman Design gets a big thumbs up for this modern uniform of ultra masculinity.
