Fear of God Refines American Luxury with Collection 9

Fear of God has unveiled Collection 9, the latest step in Jerry Lorenzo’s mission to redefine American luxury. The line strips away excess to focus on shape, proportion, and texture, with relaxed tailoring that bridges streetwear and formalwear. Oversized blazers, slouching trousers, and draped coats dominate the collection, rendered in neutral tones that feel both monastic and modern.

Knitwear and outerwear anchor the range, with brushed wools, heavy twills, and soft suiting fabrics giving depth to a muted palette. Denim, which is a long-standing Fear of God signature, is reworked in looser, broken-in silhouettes, while footwear stays understated.

Collection 9 shows Lorenzo restrained, refining rather than reinventing. It’s a continuation of his vision: clothing that’s rooted in Californian ease but executed with a couture-like precision. For those chasing timeless minimalism with a sense of scale, this is Fear of God at its peak.

The collection arrives in early 2026.

Uniqlo U Shows How Everyday Staples Can Feel Elevated

Uniqlo U returns this season with another tightly edited collection of everyday essentials elevated through Christophe Lemaire’s design lens. The Fall/Winter 2025 line builds on familiar codes, with clean lines, muted tones, and functional detailing, while quietly refining proportions and fabrics. Outerwear leads the story, with cocooned parkas, boxy wool coats, and lightweight down layers designed to move between city streets and colder commutes. Knitwear is equally strong: fine merino rollnecks, chunky crewnecks, and easy cardigans all cut with a modern looseness that avoids trend chasing.

The palette stays restrained with earth tones, deep blues, and soft greys offering a versatile base that integrates well with a sharper wardrobe. It’s practical without being pedestrian, fashion-minded without feeling forced.

Uniqlo U continues to prove that accessible price points don’t mean compromise: it’s clothing engineered for daily wear, but thoughtful enough to satisfy anyone with an eye for design.

How the Rugby Shirt Became a Menswear Staple—and Why It’s Suddenly Everywhere

In this GQ feature, writer Lisa Felepchuk explores how the rugged, striped jersey once designed for English schoolboys has shifted from utility to icon, tracing its journey through sports fields, rock stages, and Ivy-coded wardrobes to explain why the rugby shirt is suddenly everywhere again:

If you haven’t been served an ad for a rugby shirt in the last week, your algorithm might be broken. The thick cotton long-sleeves have been everywhere this fall, with the sidewalks outside NYFW serving as a secondary runway for the prep-adjacent staple. The rugby is back in a big way, but its habit of cycling in and out of fashion isn’t new—it’s been part of this garment’s playbook since the 19th century.

Before the rugby shirt became the uniform of choice for everyone from downtown cool kids to real-deal rock stars to your fisherman uncle in Maine, it was literally that: a uniform. Designed for English schoolboys, the earliest versions were pure utility. “Pupils wore what was readily available to them,” says Phil McGowan, curator at the World Rugby Museum in London. “This included undershirts and duck trousers, too. The jerseys would all be given a pot-boil wash, which made white the obvious choice as it was the easiest to wash and most commonly available.”
