Wardrobe Refresh: What’s Trending & What to Invest In Right Now
By Abigail Donaldson
Not sure what to buy or where to start with your wardrobe refresh? You’re not alone — over the past six months we’ve seen a noticeable shift in customer preferences. Gone are the days when tracksuits dominated every wardrobe (we still love them!), but more and more of you are choosing smarter, more elevated pieces that work across multiple settings.
The Rise of Jeans & Elevated Trousers
One of the biggest trends we’ve noticed is a move from sweatpants to jeans and tailored trousers. While relaxed styles like cargos and sweatpants are still popular, customers are increasingly gravitating towards cleaner, smarter silhouettes. People are dressing a bit more intentionally — seeking clothes that look put together whether you're out with friends, at work, or heading into the weekend.
To meet this demand, we’ve introduced EDWIN jeans — a brand deeply rooted in denim history and craftsmanship.
Why EDWIN?
EDWIN is a timeless Japanese denim label with origins that go back to the early days of modern jeans. The brand is known for its attention to detail, superior fits, and high-quality fabrics that age beautifully over time. EDWIN helped shape the way denim is made today, blending innovation with heritage to create jeans that are both stylish and long-lasting.
At Triads Clothing we’ve brought in two distinct EDWIN ranges, offering options to suit different tastes and styles. Whether you’re after classic, structured denim or a more relaxed, contemporary fit, there’s something in the collection for every wardrobe.

New Arrivals: Les Deux Trousers
We’ve also introduced Les Deux trousers — a brand that’s quickly become a customer favourite. These pieces hit the sweet spot between style and versatility. The relaxed fits make them comfortable for day-to-day wear, while the smart tailoring means they can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Plus, with a reasonable price point, they’re a great way to add elevated basics to your rotation without breaking the bank.
Footwear That Makes a Statement
This year we’ve seen a real surge in demand for boots and loafers — classic styles that instantly sharpen any outfit. To cater to this, we’ve brought in Duke & Dexter.
Founded in London, Duke & Dexter is a heritage-meets-modern footwear brand known for its bold yet refined designs. They blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary touches, creating boots and loafers that are both striking and supremely wearable. Whether you want to elevate a pair of jeans or complete a smart look with tailored trousers, Duke & Dexter delivers quality and style.
Outerwear & Essentials Still Going Strong
Some trends never go out of style — and this year we’ve seen quarter zips remain a staple in menswear. They’re perfect for layering and transition effortlessly from casual to smart-casual settings.
Trench coats are another big trend right now. Versatile, timeless, and instantly stylish, a good trench is a wardrobe hero that works rain or shine.
And let’s not forget the basics — heavyweight relaxed T-shirts from iconic brands like Ralph Lauren, Duke & Dexter, and Carhartt WIP continue to fly off the rails. Carhartt WIP in particular still delivers some of the best tees around — durable, comfortable, and easy to wear with anything.
