London-based fashion label [Margaret](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mizuno-for-margaret-howell) Howell introduces its latest capsule for the Fall/Winter 2021 season entitled 'comfortable, slouchy, and casual.' Just as the name suggests, the label delivers a slew of comfortable garments for the colder seasons of the year.

It is full of stripped-back looks that are made using heritage fabrication and rich tonal palettes to bring forth the pieces. Some of the notable items to join the seasonal range include the [Harris Tween](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-x-harris-tweed) and corduroy materials that make up the long jackets. The oversized knitwear is also impressive, paired with the dual-tonal Fairisle yoke sweater. The seasonal capsule also features the brand's work in conjunction with [Mizuno](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kicks-lab-x-mizuno), including the dyed yees and military macs.
