Stylish Contrasts
Smart Casual vs. Tailoring
WITH A VISION FOR THE FUTURE
Traditionally, tailored clothing has often been associated with formal occasions or professional environments where style and elegance are combined. With the emergence of more flexible working structures and new lifestyles, a new understanding of comfort and functionality has developed in clothing. Smart Tailoring responds to this new development by selecting materials and cuts that ensure a good fit while maintaining comfort. This involves not only using high-quality fabrics, but also customising designs to create a casual look that is still stylish and professional. A fresh approach to Smart Tailoring replaces the jogger look and opens up a world of individual and versatile blends of tailored elegance and casual comfort. This change goes hand in hand with a new body image that sometimes focuses on emphasising individuality rather than concealing it. windsor is undergoing an exciting transformation, particularly in the area of tailoring, in which new shapes, colours and styling options are being introduced. The skilful combination of tradition and modernism, urbanism and nature results in collections that thrive on fascinating contrasts and can be combined with each other regardless of the season.
A HARMONY OF STYLE AND COMFORT
windsor continues to stand by its blend of smart tailoring and sportswear, whereby comfort and functionality are the fundamental principles. These are accentuated by fascinating contrasts such as volume, sporty elements, classic tailoring, a variety of materials, colours, cuts and patterns. In line with the brand's DNA, which stands for relaxed, tailored luxury, windsor remains true to its claim of being sophisticated yet casual, stylish and always contemporary. Now it says: Smart styling combined with comfort.
Modern Tailoring in Womenswear
In addition, extra-wide trousers take centre stage in womenswear alongside long, narrow skirt silhouettes. To facilitate the interplay of silhouettes, the jackets showcase both cropped and oversized styles, while classic elements continue to be provocatively combined with more sporty features. Materials such as satin or duchesse lend the entire Collection a shiny surface, while matt, luxurious qualities such as wool-cashmere double, wool crêpe, super-light mouline and textured surfaces offer a contrast. In addition to matt-gloss effects, the classic pepita design offers particularly interesting looks for casual coats and jackets, as well as abstract shapes for prints.

Styling Tip for Harmonious Colour Combinations
“OPPOSITES ATTRACT”
However, this only applies if the contrasts have been carefully selected and skilfully combined. The contrast between smart, modern casual fashion and traditional tailoring is underpinned by colours and materials that combine the best of both worlds. Soft grey brings a neutral and sporty shade to casual shirts, while the same colour creates an elegant look for fine tailored trousers. The right choice of colour brings out the best in both worlds and combines them to create a harmonious overall look.
THESE COLOURS COMBINE NEW SUITING AND TAILORING ELEMENTS
For the colour scheme of the “New Suitings”, windsor skilfully draws on a finely coordinated palette of light shades, including “Light Greige”, “Fadeout Tabaco” and “Bottle Green”, which are accentuated by a subtle washed yellow.
Accentuating the palette with a subtly washed yellow adds a playful touch to the collection and creates interesting contrasts. Overall, windsor skilfully draws on a finely-tuned palette of light tones to present its “New Suitings” and at the same time adds a touch of freshness and modernity.
THESE COLOURS HARMONISE WITH SMART TAILORED TROUSERS
'Light Greige' is a subtle and versatile colour that radiates lightness and sophistication. It gives suits and jackets a neutral base that can be easily combined with other colours and patterns, while at the same time adding a subtle elegance.

This bold colour gives outfits a certain depth and elegance, while adding a subtle pinch of modernity. Perfect for those who want to integrate a touch of colour into their business fashion, without being too overpowering.
