Tod’s AW24: Press here

TODS AW24

Two quick takeaways from the Tod’s AW24 show. Precision-pressed creases on overlong tailored trousers to give a super-lengthening effect to legs (above and below). And the double-shirt styling – so simple and achievable (above and bottom).

Wardrobe update: the thin belt and the fresh white slice

The Row AW23 belt
