DAKS brings British Heritage back for AW11

If autumn makes you want to go back to what you know, you’ll find all the home comforts you need from British heritage brand Daks.

Having delved into its recently-opened archive museum, the luxury label has reworked its traditional checks and tweeds into an altogether more contemporary collection for autumn, which both takes a modern approach to style and reflects Daks’ signature long-standing values.

And loaded with rich autumnal shades like leafy greens, chocolate browns and ever-classic navy, it feels suitably sophisticated with an insouciant charm.

In a kick back to late Sixties, early Seventies London, sharply tailored separates are given a feminine edge with delicate shirts and pleats in dresses, as sturdy materials are lifted with luxe fabrics like silk or fine knits for a strong yet elegant silhouette.

Outerwear is key, too, taking masculine shapes like heavy duffel coats and mixing them with whimsical capes and hooded ponchos, while accessories come classic and practical with a striking Sixties story that Jane Birkin would certainly approve of.

Refined and elegant but laced with British charm, we want to dive right in. Now, lets all go and backcomb our hair and apply some flicky liner. Head on over to Daks to shop the collection.
