It seems that Lou Dalton has, for the foreseeable future, permanently opted for a presentation. For Fall/Winter 2019, the English designer brought color and pattern to the forefront of her normally quiet clothes.

For the past few seasons, Lou Dalton has chosen a presentation-style to show off her latest collection, allowing the viewer a longer look at the simple but often elegant designs from the British designer. For SS19, there was a duality to the collection, from ethereal cloud-like bleached denim and rugged hiking boots, setting off a balance of hard and soft that was seen throughout.

Lou Dalton's quiet collections are a pleasure to see but more so to feel and wear so it's no surprise that she eschewed a runway show for a more intimate presentation where the audience can really take in the subtle details of the wide legged pants or the pile of a fuzzy sweater.

Lou Dalton's presentation for her Spring/Summer 2018 collection featured models in ramrod stances wearing her simple and fabric-minded designs focused on streamlined looks, from oversized shirts to cool shorts and everything in between, even color blocked socks.

Lou Dalton eschewed a runway show for a more intimate presentation for her FW17 collection, which offered relaxed tailored pieces with some surprising dashes of color and use of pattern, which Dalton rarely utilizes. Changes in Dalton's aesthetic seems to mirror that of the men: glacial. However, this collection seemed to jolt the British label into new and untested waters.

Lou Dalton turned up the color and prints at her Spring/Summer 2017 outing. What started out quite somber, and characteristically her, turned into a light and youthful jaunt through a summer wardrobe, full of cool pieces, all paired with strapped sandals and white socks.

Rounded shoulders and textures were the focus at Lou Dalton's latest collection. The shapes were loose and fluid while fabrics gave the clothes, which are usually much more demure, plenty of life, like the furry coats and trousers.

If the adage "menswear moves at a glacial pace" is true, then Lou Dalton's simple and elegant collections are the barometer for change. Dalton's easy going designs are streamlined, chic and nearly seasonless. For SS16, the British designer took a bolder step, showcasing transparent layers, sporty utilitarian coats and played on tartan to create a trompe-l'œil effect, all to great effect without losing the effortless way of dressing that she is synonymous with.

Lou Dalton's muted color palette lent itself to a collection full of updated menswear staples, from leather accented bombers to tailored pants. The strongest pieces came in a very subtle plaid pattern, seen on blousons, jumpsuits and coats. The collection wasn't entirely sleepy though; there were pops of color like a cerulean knit and salmon pants, a great addition to a winter wardrobe, especially for those men who love to wear lightweight salmon shorts in the summer.

Lou Dalton kicked off London Collections: Men once again with a strong showcase of her tailoring skills. Clean lines pervaded the collection that proffered rounded shoulders and an almost oxymoronic showing of slim but roomy proportions; though the waif-ish models may have attributed more to that aesthetic. That being said, the stark looks started with severe, slicked back hair and continued into the a plethora of designs that trended more towards clinical-white hues with pops of softer colors like salmon and touches of pattern.

Lou Dalton once again kicks off London's three day fashion expo with her FW14 collection that offered a more relaxed silhouette, in line with the blue collar worker aesthetic. Though the clothes may have been inspired by the uniforms of men working in a line at a factory, the clothes themselves were far from ordinary, with luxe fabrications and interesting treatments like suede and a bleached pink outfit, it was a good start to London Collections Men.
