Distinguished by a certain glamour and an impeccable fit, Tom Ford’s collections have always had a timeless quality even as they incorporate style elements of the now. Through the prism of the American designer’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection – which will arrive at its stores soon – we take a peek at what will be big next season.
Sweet shades
Putting a new spin on sportswear, buttery-soft leather jackets and drawstring trousers are rendered in even softer candy pastels.

Rock-star suiting
Animal prints are not for the faint-hearted. Animal prints in bright pink, green or yellow silk jacquard? Only for the most fashion-forward among us. Covered in vibrant spots or stripes, Ford’s ’80s-influenced jackets actually look fresh, paired with an off -white tailored ensemble.
Underwear as outerwear
Next season, you’ll see a number of brands selling shorts that resemble boxers in their flowy silhouettes. But Ford is going one step further by melding track pants and long johns to create a new relaxed trouser silhouette. If you’re going to push style boundaries, you might as well be cosy too.
