The One World Collection celebrates the art of layering at its core not as a fleeting trend, but as a timeless approach to dressing with purpose. Each piece is designed with a relaxed, louche silhouette that drapes elegantly across different body types while providing exceptional comfort.
Why does adaptability matter? well it means fewer garments can create more outfits- simplifying your wardrobe while expanding your options.
The Art of Layering

Layering is a great way to adapt to weather in a practical sense but also its ability to hide things- any middle age belly which some of us like to cover are masked through layers. Initially, we would probably associate layering with autumn and winter but the key in Spring and summer, as it gets warmer, is lightweight layers that you can easily add or takeaway as the temperature fluctuates not only week to week but day to day.
Begin with a base layer and work from there. I would suggest going with:
- A white Neem t-shirt if you're style is minimal and you enjoy that classic white tee look
- A ZQ Merino t-shirt which is great for regulating your temperature (yes we do encourage you to wear traceable wool in the summer as well as winter!) for more info on the wonder fibre that is ZQ Merino wool have a read here
- A shirt- whether that's a regenerative cotton popover or recycled comfort shirt depending on your own preference
Now Let's take the ZQ Merino wool Tan stripe cardigan, depending on the occasion or level of formality you'd like to achieve, it's a piece that works both as a mid-layer and top-layer. Here John is styled in a more relaxed, weekend look whilst adding a blazer and removing the beanie gives the look more structure and therefore more formality (on the left) Roll the sleeves to enhance a rugged vibe or simply keep down for a cleaner look. It's the small tweaks which make a difference.
The Regenerative cotton Sky Spitafields works as a light-weight jacket over a t-shirt for a spring summer evening in the pub. And then as a smarter mid-layer underneath the Black sorona bomber jacket as a much sleeker day-to-night look. A tip on knowing what exactly to layer on top often depends on what's underneath. For example the dark button on the sky spitafields overshirt inspired the dark black bomber as it keeps the colour palette simple.
The louche look of Michael is undone, a bit messier with the sleeves rolled whilst David simply fastening the buttons transforms the sky Spitafields into a smarter shirt- it's these super simple styling choices that can totally change the vibe of the outfit, therefore allowing you to wear it in lots of different settings.

Wearing the Future You Wish to See
In an age when divisions seem to multiply daily, political, generational, geographical, what we wear remains one of our most immediate forms of expression and unity. The One World Collection offers garments that reflect a vision of how things could be: transparent, responsible, and built to last for all.
This isn't fashion that demands you buy more. It invites you to choose better and wear it for years to come.
Each time you layer one of these versatile pieces or share it with someone in your life, you're participating in a different narrative about what clothes can mean and how they can be made. It's a small daily practice that acknowledges larger truths: that we are connected, that our choices matter, and that style doesn't require compromise.
