Each garment stands alone, but together they are absolutely irresistible – in its winter collection for 2019, ALBERTO presents a series of dressy styles, cotton pants, jeans and corduroys in which every fibre breathes distinction and close attention is paid to every detail. This is evident not only from the colourful buttonholes, elaborate linings, intricate patterns, two-tone quilting, and contrasting tabs and waistbands, but also from the innovative washes, subtle autumnal colourways and the sophisticated checks, herringbones, stripes and structured patterns in matching shades. What’s more, when it comes to shapes, ALBERTO will be upping its game next season with a number of newcomers and new interpretations of classics including an updated version of “Pleat”. File under: Favourite pants for every situation.

From Helsinki to São Paulo, from Seattle to Tokyo: cycling is in. Some 200 years after its invention, the bicycle is re-conquering city centres all over the world. For ALBERTO - the trouser specialist with special expertise in functional clothing - this is reason enough to make the daily city tour of smart city dwellers safer, more comfortable and, above all, more stylish. For example, the Mönchengladbach label has developed two collections with "Bike" for men and "Bicicletta" for women, which are not only able to compete effortlessly with any weather conditions but are also beyond all doubt superior in terms of fashion.
