The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2025 - Issue 38

bitefashion As the season deepens, the colours grow richer and more enveloping. Bold reds, darker blues, earthy pinks, and warm browns take over, mirroring the changing landscape and the instinctive desire for warmth and texture. These tones appear across puff‑ ers, knits, printed dresses, and transitional layers, cre‑ ating a wardrobe that feels grounded and expressive. There’s a subtle collegiate influence running through the silhouette with varsity touches, preppy graphics, and structured layering that nods to campus style without leaning into cliché. Instead, the effect is modern and urban, designed for women who move fluidly between city life and countryside escapes. It’s the charm of rural Britain reimagined for the con‑ temporary wardrobe: familiar and comforting, yet never predictable. Menswear follows a similar narrative, channelling the same British appeal but with a more overt retro pulse. Signature graphics and vintage‑inspired logos bring a nostalgic energy to tees and sweats, pieces that feel instantly lived‑in and effortlessly wearable. These are the staples that anchor a winter wardrobe that is easy to style, hard to ignore, and designed with the kind of authenticity that has long defined Pepe Jeans mens‑ wear.

At the heart of the Invierno collection lies denim, the fabric that has defined Pepe Jeans since its ear‑ liest days on Portobello Road. Denim is more than a product category for the brand; it’s a philosophy, a craft, a cultural identity. AW25 honours that legacy with a blend of classic fits, heritage details, and for‑ ward‑looking silhouettes. For women, the return of iconic shapes brings a sense of timelessness. Straight legs, vintage washes, and subtle distressing evoke the brand’s archives while feeling entirely relevant to to‑ day’s wardrobe. These are jeans designed to be lived in, layered, and loved across seasons. For men, new silhouettes expand the brand’s denim vocabulary. Updated proportions, refined details, and
