You might think it a little snippy to describe Neil Barrett’s collection as "just interesting enough" but that is no bad thing in menswear. This isn’t a world where seismic trends shift the landscape every season. It works at a much slower evolutionary pace than womenswear. Barrett’s clothes are fashionable without scaring the horses, and that’s what many men, including his celebrity customers Brad Pitt and Jake Gyllenhaal, want. His trousers are cut just above the ankle nodding to the short trews trend, but in a wearable way. His tees, silky and well cut, go just beyond the basic without straying into the gimmicky, and if you are looking for a signature piece Barrett has it – the waistcoat, worn with everything from jeans to shorts to suits. Nothing too terrifying about that - Claudia Croft
