This document summarizes 9 styles of men's autumn/winter fashion for 2015 according to Sai Kumar: 1. Grey was the dominant color, seen in everything from tailoring to tracksuits. 2. Loose, oversized wool coats with soft shoulders were very popular outerwear pieces. 3. Layering knitwear, such as thin merino wool rollnecks under thicker knits, was a key styling tip. 4. Square patterns, whether in bold blocks of color or patches, featured prominently on clothing and accessories.

2. Any color as long as it’s grey
By far and away the most popular color at the shows
was grey. Not too unusual for the cold weather
collections you might think, but this season it’s the
way it was styled from tailoring to tracksuit bottoms
that boosted it into trend territory: with as many other
shades of grey as possible (or all the same hue, if
you’re feeling particularly bold). There was so much
grey, in fact, that this is just a small sliver of the best
looks...

4. The only coat you’ll need next season…
Wherever you looked this season shapes were
loosening up, but nowhere was this more clearly seen
than with outerwear. Whether single- or double-
breasted, the most popular coat of the season was cut
from wool and with a soft shoulder that fell just off the
shoulder to give a slouchy, oversized vibe.

6. Layer-up your knits
Layering is, of course, the top priority when the
weather turns - however next season it looks like the
big styling tip to help you keep warm will be to pile
your jumpers one-on-top of the other. The easiest way
to do this, as seen at Pringle and Margaret Howell, is
to invest in a thin merino wool rollneck and slip it
under your thicker knits.

8. Go for square patterns and patches
From flowers to butterflies to tapestry, there were so
many patterns across the catwalks this season that it
wasn’t until Paris that a true frontrunner for the
season emerged - however when we looked back, we
noticed squares were everywhere, whether used in
big, bold blocks of color or as patches on jeans...

10. Pockets are getting supersized
Good news for guys who hate toting a bag around with
them everywhere: pockets are going to be bigger than ever
next season (i.e iPad Mini sized at a minimum). Not only
that, but they’re going to be the focus of your next piece of
outerwear, cut from conspicuously contrasting fabrics and
sewn on in prominent positions.

12. Any green goes
While grey was the big story of the shows, green beat
off stiff competition from orange, pink and blue to be
the second-most popular colour on the catwalks.
However, no particular shade rose to prominence,
with forest, dark, military and even mint green all
making appearances in London, Milan and Paris. Next
season the only rule is: there are no rules.

14. Shearling with everything
It’s a classic menswear material, and with a definite Seventies vibe
running throughout the shows, it was hardly surprising that shearling
made a prominent appearance on next season’s catwalks. However,
what was surprising was how it was deployed: not just as a coat lining
(the most popular way to wear it), but also within trainers at Hermes,
on bags at Louis Vuitton, on jumpers at Fendi, and in both dyed and
natural shades on almost every catwalk.

16. Baggy trousers
After seasons of trousers getting slimmer, this was the season
designers swung to the polar opposite. Across the board,
trousers were higher waisted and far looser cut - and while
flares made the occasional appearance thanks to that Seventies
sensibility that we already mentioned, the most popular style
was more along the lines of the Zoot suits of the Forties and
often cut from wool with a turn-up.

18. The one-piece suit is coming (maybe)
Maybe it’s to do with the 50th anniversary of Winston
Churchill’s death, but this season there were a whole
swathe of one of the man’s favorite Second World War
garments shown: siren suits. However, rather than the
army-issue iterations Churchill would have been used
to, the item has had a high-end remix. Crucially, they
were shown not just causally this season, but also with
smart shoes and even shirts and ties or tailored jackets
at Hermes. A onesie you can wear to the office? We’re
in.
