Trends Men FW18 // Checks

Some weeks, you're closing deals at work. Others, you're casting off at the harbour. Wherever summer takes you, your shoes should keep pace. That's where two icons step in. Base London for the moments that demand a polished look. Sperry for the ones that call for sea breeze and spontaneity. Because summer isn't one thing. Why should your shoes be?

Once reserved for construction sites, workshops and industrial environments, workwear has evolved into one of fashion’s most enduring influences. What started as clothing designed for durability and function has gradually found its way into everyday wardrobes, becoming a staple in contemporary street style. Across fashion capitals such as Copenhagen, Paris and Antwerp, rugged silhouettes, utility details and durable materials have become a familiar sight. The appeal is simple: workwear offers authenticity in a fashion landscape often driven by fast-changing trends. It combines practicality with a timeless aesthetic, creating pieces that feel effortless rather than overstyled. Today, the codes of workwear have become firmly embedded in modern fashion.
