SUNDAY BEST: YOUR MONTHLY STYLE ROUNDUP

By Ayis Stephen-Diver, 22 February 2026

Welcome back to Sunday Best, where we highlight the latest and greatest ‘fits from IG and give you the scoop on how to achieve them. February’s been a dreary month – likely why we’ve spotted an above-average number of boxy jackets on the city's most stylish. From bomber jackets to Harringtons, the volume has been turned up on cosy outerwear. Scroll for the three looks you can recreate below.

#1: BACK TO THE BASICS

Bomber jackets had their big break back in 2016, and considering the whole ‘2026 is the new 2016’ mantra, we’re not surprised that they’re back on the radar. @edblack98 isn’t styling them the 2016 way (remember that dreaded longline T-shirt and skinny ripped jeans combo?), he’s modernised the look with contemporary basics. Ease up your bomber jacket with relaxed jeans, chunky trainers and – if the weather calls for it – a knitted cardigan underneath for good measure.

#2: SPORT SUAVE

Who said voluminous layers can’t be spruced up? @iam.jima makes a compelling case for the puffer jacket’s formal appeal, teaming his with wide-leg tailored trousers and smart shoes. The sporty graphic on the jacket references those instantly recognisable F1 aesthetics, and against the preppy bottom half, this look is an important lesson in contrast. Don’t forget to accessorise, too – a New Era cap is the final step to nailing those smart-casual feels.

#3: 80s COOL

Fashion just won’t stop referencing the past, and the Harrington jacket is a key player in the 80s revival. They’ve become shorter and even boxier in recent years, giving the illusion of longer legs while maintaining the same powerful presence. @josh.netts styled a burgundy Harrington with trusty smart trousers. His accessories further amplify the look – the keychain injects some playfulness, while the leather gloves show he means business. Wear a crisp shirt underneath your jacket to stay polished whenever the sun shines through.
