Last Thursday, Topman marked the launch of DROP 02: SUMMER with an intimate dinner at Blacklock Shoreditch.
We brought together a close-knit group of industry friends to celebrate what Topman is all about right now: modern menswear, culture and real-life wearability — all over great food and drinks.
Set against Blacklock’s warm, stripped-back space, guests got a first look at DROP 02, alongside conversations about how the collection is designed to fit actual summer plans. From evenings out and city days to weekends away, this drop is about pieces that are elevated but easy, considered but unfussy.
Building on a strong first drop
DROP 01, which launched on 1 March, set the tone with elevated essentials and modern silhouettes — and the response spoke for itself. Standout styles like the washed double pocket jacket in French blue, the heavy knit tank in green and the white rigid barrel jean all sold out within two weeks.
Launched on Friday, DROP 02 builds on that momentum with a sharper focus on functional summer dressing. Highlights include:
- A blue bouclé floral knit shirt — an easy statement layer for evenings or drinks
- An ecru embroidered linen shirt, perfect for warm city days or holidays
- A black boxy floral jersey shirt for relaxed, off‑duty moments (think weekends and festivals)
- Navy ripstop shorts designed with movement and all‑day wear in mind
Tailoring remains a key part of the story, styled with flexibility front and centre. The stone oversized collarless blazer and wide‑leg pleated trousers work as a full set, but just as well broken up — layered casually or styled up depending on the moment.
Huge thanks to everyone involved in bringing the evening, and the collection, to life.
DROP 02: SUMMER is officially live now on Topshop.com and ASOS.
Here’s to a strong summer ahead!
