GQ Essentials In Association With Selfridges

GQ Essentials in association with Selfridges

The latest GQ Essentials supplement takes us through the hottest menswear trends for the autumn/winter 2012 season. Offering “style inspiration and fashion direction for the coming season”, the supplement’s key focuses are new-season formalwear, anything-goes denim, and the art of the classic white shirt.

A must-work trend for the lovers of unabashed style, the new season sees contemporary colours, bold prints on cuts from skinny through to baggy and beyond. Look to brands like Ted Baker, Tiger of Sweden and Nudie jeans for go-to styles:
