Sharp new picks from The Monocle Shop
There are few better places to test a wardrobe than a railway station, and fewer still that fit the bill better than Lyon Saint-Exupéry TGV. Here, the Autumn/Winter collection meets a space that shares its qualities: sleek structure, efficient movement and style that says you’re going places. It’s a collection which understands that the best journeys begin with the right wardrobe.
Santiago Calatrava’s striking station design sets the scene for a collection built for those on the move. Monocle’s Moleskin coach jacket and trousers bring a smart-casual touch to the utility of workwear, while the Bonded Cotton Mac and range of vests, pullovers, Spanish merino crewnecks and cardigans keep the weather at bay.
The arrival of so many travel essentials means that you’re going to need good luggage. That’s why Monocle is collaborating with Southern Field Industries on a travel shopper, Texnh on a packable duffle, and Bags in Progress for a holdall bag and carry-all tote. Meanwhile, Topologie’s phone strap keeps your hands as free as the road – or rails – ahead.
