Topman & Topshop Returns to the Runway

After a seven-year hiatus, Topman is stepping back into the spotlight—and this time, it's not just making noise, it’s owning the whole show. The brand, synonymous with British fashion’s high street heyday, is returning to the runway this August with the debut of its Autumn Winter 2025 collection and the re-launch of Topshop.com. And yes, it’s open to the public.

This is more than a comeback. It’s a reintroduction, with Topman aiming to reclaim its space in menswear by dialling up the energy, relevance, and detail of what a modern high-street collection can look like. The AW25 menswear collection leans into sharp silhouettes and refined utility—less nostalgia, more evolution.

Think modern tailoring reworked with edge. Clean-cut blazers with unexpected textures, trousers that move like track pants but wear like suiting, and outerwear that delivers presence without shouting. Topman’s approach to formalwear this season lands somewhere between utilitarian and urban, merging technical fabrics with classic design. This isn’t dress-up. It’s a new uniform for wherever your day takes you—from office to after-hours.

Denim, of course, is back at the core. Deep indigos anchor the more casual offering, from oversized truckers to straight-cut jeans that sit cleanly on the shoe, rejecting over-styling in favour of something more honest. There’s an effortlessness here—pieces that do the work for you.

And while Topman’s history includes a few overly trend-driven moments, AW25 feels more grounded. These are clothes designed for now: wearable, stylish, and quietly assertive. It’s a confident pivot towards maturity, but with enough of that London spirit to keep it fun.

What’s different this time around? For starters, the show itself is open to the public—an invitation to the next generation of Topshop and Topman fans to step into the new era. And to underline that commitment, the brands have partnered with Wilhelmina Models for an open casting, giving unsigned talent the chance to walk the show. It’s an energy that feels both democratic and deliberate.

Following the show, the celebration continues with a street party tapping into London’s creative community. Expect DJs, surprise guests, and a reminder that while Topman may be sharpening its tailoring, it hasn’t forgotten how to throw a good party.

AW25 marks the beginning of Topman’s new era. London, the runway is yours.
