Men’s fashion microtrend: tennis jumpers
Be extended the look into the modern age by pairing with coloured trousers

The athleisure trend might seem accessible, but sportswear pooped out of context is still an odd thing. Add a golf shoe/goalkeeper’s glove/tennis insufficient briefly to a normal outfit, and you risk looking as if you’re on a stag do in Clapham.
And there’s something a bit Julian Fellowes stretch drama about the tennis jumper. To drag it into the new-fashioned age, pair with coloured trousers – less minor characteristic in a local production of Gatsby: The Musical! and more college dropout-era Kanye West.
