Quilts, Colour and Statement Patterns: Barbour AW18
• John Carrington
As we reach September, the nights begin to lengthen and our thoughts turn toward Autumn it's tempting to think that it's time to put away the bright colours and get ready for the more muted colours ahead. Although that's not the case this year with the AW18 Collection from Barbour. One of their key focuses this year has been for pops of colour either on their own or as part of a layered look that will really help you stand out from the crowd on even the greyest day.
One example of this is the Ashbrooke Waterproof Breathable Jacket which when paired with a practical yet stylish checked shirt like the Stapleton Seth Tailored Shirt creates a versatile and highly colourful outfit for Autumn. Or alternatively why not not partner the Bibury Tailored Shirt with the Bretby Gilet to create an equally colourful outfit. What's even better about this paring is that it can be combined with the Corbridge Waxed Jacket later on in the season to create a warm waterproof and colourful ensemble.
Alongside this in mens shirting and knitwear we see a balance between big bold patterns for example the Endsleigh Tartan Tailored Shirt and the Case Fairisle Crew Neck Jumper and the more traditional in the Endsleigh Tattersall Shirt and the Tisbury Crew Neck Jumper.
Barbour are also injecting a sense of fun and youthfulness into their range with their Weather Comfort range which is designed to remind us "how great the rain really is." This runs across both Mens and Womens coats and includes the previously mentioned Ashbrooke Waterproof Breathable Jacket alongside the Southway Waterproof Breathable Jacket and the Damini Waterproof Jacket all of which incorporate a raft of great technical features.
Also over in the Ladies department the order of the day from Barbour for Autumn is quilts ranging from the motorbike inspired Velencia Quilted Jacket to the Coastal aesthetic of the Highgate Quilted Jacket. Both of these work well with the knits on offer including the bodly patterned Roseberry Knit or the Aragan Knit which incorportates subtle touches like zipped side pockets and a ribbed finish.
