Topman autumn edit: barrel jeans, Harrington jackets and chunky knits

Topman’s latest new-in edit covers everything you want from autumn dressing: versatile basics, chunky knits, statement jackets, and tailored trousers you can wear a multitude of ways. The newest items work equally as well together as they do with what’s already hanging up in your wardrobe.

Key pieces from the new range

Starting with the basics, a 3 pack classic fit t-shirt is the easy update to a tired T-shirt drawer. Made from 100% cotton with a simple crew neck and regular fit design, they’re the perfect layer beneath jumpers and jackets.

For jumpers, a classic fit plaited fisherman knit jumper in teal offers a colourful break from the grey and black colours that dominate knitwear this time of year. The wool blend means it’s super soft and will keep you warm. It’s also available in an oatmeal colourway.

Outerwear highlights

Outerwear is a highlight of the collection. One standout item is an oversized quilted denim jacket with a corduroy collar, a deep, dark blue wash, zip fastening, and spacious pockets. It’s ideal when it’s not quite cold enough for a puffer coat but you still need an extra layer.

Another layering piece is a relaxed-fit crop washed cord overshirt, with a slightly cropped length for wearing with high-waisted trousers. It hits the sweet spot between a shirt and a jacket.

If you only buy one jacket this season, a faux wool check harrington is the one. Its check pattern makes it a statement, investment piece, but the neutral tones mean it’s easy to pair with white t-shirts, dark jeans, chinos, and pretty much everything else. It has elasticated trims to keep wind out, a zip-and-button fastening, and full lining.

Trousers and styling

For the bottom half, a rigid barrel fit jean in clean brown has become a defining jean silhouette across men’s and womenswear this season. The chocolate brown pair is an alternative to blue jeans, with the same stiff cotton denim fabric, belt loops and a curved leg, but a more vintage feel than a classic straight leg. They come in five different washes, including an autumnal burgundy.

For those who like to dress up a little, wide leg belted pinstripe trousers with pleats in grey are perfect for updating a work wardrobe. Team with a blazer and white t-shirt for a stylish look.

Whether you’re shopping for a couple of new pieces or a full wardrobe, Topman’s new-in range makes it easy to do both. It’s always popular, so if you’re keen to stock up, do it soon rather than later to avoid missing out.
