This season’s menswear aesthetic takes its cue from the preppy looks of the past. Think corduroy trousers, colourful chambray shirts, heritage tweed and plenty of natty accessories to boot. After seasons of casual daywear, these are clothes to be seen in, as opposed to lounge around in, in which case you’ll need the perfect pair of smart shoes to complete the look.

John Lobb’s Rydel Arpon Derby, £1,405, in dark brown suede is just the ticket. Features include simple topline lines edged with a discreet tone-on-tone leather binding and a three-eyelet lace. And thanks to the sturdy Goodyear welted construction and soft leather lining, you’ll be striding into autumn with aplomb.
