Hot In The Shops // & Other Stories’ Neo Classics Collection

& Other Stories’ Neo Classics collection offers a fresh interpretation of wardrobe staples, designed with a refined edge and a strong, modern perspective.

The collection fuses sport and tailoring, where clean silhouettes meet tactile finishes and sculptural shapes, creating timeless pieces with a new rhythm.

 “This collection invites a closer look – essentials are elevated, crafted to go beyond the expected,” says CCO Jonathan Saunders, “creating icons with character, each piece unmistakably & Other Stories”.

// HOW IT’S WORN

The masculine - feminine interplay unfolds confidently in subtle contrasts: tailored trousers meet technical nylon, raw denim paired with delicate ribbed tops, a boxy leather bomber over a fluid dress. Slouchy parkas are shrugged over sportswear inspired zip‑us, and scuba pieces peek from beneath tailored wool. These are looks that feel lived in, yet elevated - where simplicity is disrupted by detail.

// FABRICS

Japanese‑inspired raw denim and butter-soft leather provide a textural edge, while merino wool, alpaca, and cashmere bring polish and refinement. Double‑faced wool adds structure, set against technical fabrics including scuba. Together, they express the fusion between raw and polished, providing everyday elevation through craft and contrast.

// ACCESSORIES

The collection is complimented with leather derby shoes and large leather tote bags adding a masculine edge, balanced by subtle feminine details in simple hoop earrings and layered rings and necklaces in gold and silver. Each piece is purposeful yet understated, with authenticity revealed in its detail.

// SILHOUETTE

Clean yet characterful, the silhouette is shaped by contrasting elements; elevated shoulders, sharp skirt suits and subtle nods to early ’90s minimalism. Sport‑inspired layers introduce tension to refined shapes, creating a quiet clash that feels both instinctive and refined.

// COLOUR PALETTE

Mixing unexpected vibrancy with grounded classics, the palette reimagines primary colours. Klein blue, forest green, and coral red inject energy and contrast, while camel, slate grey, and deep indigo bring balance. Polka dots and stripes add vibrant, graphic contrasts.
