HOME BREAK
*with Christian Frascaro + Francesco Crisitiano

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

The longing for timelessness has been a forerunner in fashion’s stakes in recent years, making its presence felt across the sartorial spectrum: from the designer runways to the rails of high-street favourites, its wear-anywhere appeal has sparked the yearn of many.

Of course, this concept is by no means a modern phenomenon, and its history stretches back to the centuries of creativity of fuss-free apparel within the menswear arena, that have managed to retain that sense of ageless elegance right up to the present day: thanks to the wealth of options that span across tailored constructions to their structured credentials, clothes that last are an investment to a man’s wardrobe. But the question is: how do we make these classics feel directional in 2025? Brace yourselves.

As modeled ever brilliantly by Francesco Cristiano and Christian Frascaro, these versatile silhouettes come in everything from Prada’s skin-tight separates to swishy Brioni’s outerwear to structured canvas from Celine and cotton checks from Isabel Marant. Acting as a solid foundation for an everyday outfit – especially during the winter months – the right staple can truly smarten up any outfit, or add a touch of nonchalance to a formal essential. Below, LE MILE’s edit has you covered. You’re welcome.

FW25 Women and Men - Breathe & Behold

BREATHE + BEHOLD
*by Kristian Presnal

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

As the Fall 2025 shows have proven, finding the perfect equation for a faraway escape is no mean feat: choosing to embrace playfulness, understanding proportion play and toying with volumes from a wealth of styles can come in handy to solve conundrums of these kinds.

Thus, brace yourselves: ever since the term quiet luxury was adopted by the luxury and medium houses, offerings have delivered uncomplicated versions of pieces we wear day-in-day-out: from classic dresses and separates to a heightened sense of ease and coats, to name but a few. While many trends have fallen by the wayside, several years on, the Nordic region remains strong in its timeless—yet subtly experimental—vision, and its landscapes as well as collections are no different.

LE MILE’s Fashion Director dipped into the Hanaholmen’s naturalesque setting and directed a visual story that’s worth your attention. Highlights include the perfect wool-blend structured jacket (pair with the equally lust-worthy skirt and loaders) from Loro Piana, a breezy option from Issey Miyake, nut-coloured blazers from Random Identities by Stefano Pilati, which will make for an appealing alternative to your usual true browns, tongue-in-cheek toppers from Rolf Ekroth and double-breasted piece from Valentino. Scroll on for these and many more gems, and become the embodiment of this season’s versatile spirit. You’re welcome.
