Christophe Lemaire was once the head designer at Hermes's womenswear label and so for his namesake label - which is co-designed with his partner in work and life: Sarah-Linh Tran - there is always an air of understated elegance. One looks at the fabrics and feels the clothes to appreciate the quiet nuances of them - whether it's the specific drape of a v-neck knit or the boxy, cropped cut of a pant or the suppleness of the leathers the designers utilize; it's all purposeful but in a nondescript way.

Lemaire's pared back aesthetic took a sportier turn this season with voluminous layers that conveyed an easy athleticism to them, pared with simple leather espadrilles, and with a spotting of a print or color here and there.

Understated fashion was pervasive throughout Lemaire's Spring/Summer 2018 collection, offering little in terms of color and instead offering up a nihilistic color palette, full of shades of black and grey, all seen on slouchy clothes.

Few do understated luxury like Lemaire. These unassuming clothes are rife with luxurious fabrics and cool details, whether the cropped and oversized peacoats or the design and weave of a knit.

Japanese retailer Uniqlo collaborates with French label Lemaire to create a capsule collection that melds the former's affordable and utilitarian offerings with the latter's stunning fabrications and elegant designs, all worn by Matt Doran. The limited edition capsule collection goes on sale to the public on October 2, with prices ranging from $40 to $200.
