Thom Sweeney's AW24 Collection: Elevating Signature Staples with New Fabrics and Refined Elegance

With a focus on texture and understated luxury, Thom Sweeney’s AW24 collection develops on its  signature wardrobe staples, elevating them with new fabrics, perfected cuts, and meticulous attention  to detail. Understated, refined and comfortable, the collection embodies the tailored elegance  synonymous with the brand since its inception over fifteen years ago.

Texture is key for this season, and there are a number of new fabrics that feature. Working  collaboratively with the finest mills in Italy and Japan, these are most prevalent on the newly revised  knitwear offering. 

Felted wool cashmere is found in the crew neck and zip-through sweater. Knitted with a loose weave,  the fabric has an uneven texture and an incredibly soft handle that hints at its handmade finish. Pushing  the boundaries of knitwear design further is the new brushed cashmere silk polo shirt. Cut with long  sleeves and a tailored fit, it looks like a regular knitted polo, yet up close the soft, nappy cashmere silk  fabric gives it a vintage look that works with jeans or trousers. 

Elsewhere, for a sportier take on the polo, our heavy Japanese wool transforms the casualwear staple,  with its unique, perforated texture and chunky weight. At a thinner gauge is our knitted Merino wool, a  new knitwear offering that takes the lightweight, breathable softness of Merino and combines it with  the texture and look of pique cotton. 

The colour palette has been further refined this season, with earthy hues of camel, brown and taupe  featuring heavily, with pops of powder blue occasionally breaking things up. For the first time, black is  seen across the range, injecting a sleek, monochrome look into signature tailoring and knitwear. The  black corduroy, single breasted suit is a particular highlight with its soft, velvety texture that makes it  perfect for nights out in the city. 

Alongside tailoring, outerwear remains a strong focus for AW24. Unstructured overcoats can be seen  alongside more technical pieces in Japanese nylon, while suede and shearling lend a luxurious edge to  utilitarian designs. 

Pushing the envelope of texture and craftsmanship, the autumn winter 2024 collection introduces new  fabrics and styles alongside updated Thom Sweeney staples, cementing the house as a one-stop  destination for the contemporary wardrobe.
