[Tweeds and striped suit separates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-fw25) add a bit of formality to the relatively laid-back line of apparel, which focuses on chinos, cords, denim, [chunky sweaters and hip outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-fw24). And, while there are some pretty bold patterns present in this offering from the brand, most of the collection is mature and immediately wearable, making these garments appealing to any stylish man who wants to look put together and masculine at the same time.
