David Gandy has spent the better part of two decades proving that simplicity, done well, always wins. Now, with his own label – David Gandy Wellwear – he’s refining that philosophy even further. Fewer logos, more comfort. Less noise, better fabric. The new Summer 2025 collection is a continuation of this ethos: plain but not boring, stylish but not showy, soft in every sense of the word.
The collection itself reads like a minimalist capsule wardrobe for the man who wants his clothes to do more than just cover skin. It’s built on a tight edit of summer-ready staples: breezy T-shirts in pastel tones, cotton pyjamas you’ll wear well past breakfast, lightweight hoodies, relaxed-fit shorts, and those all-important multipacks for maximum ease. There are no gimmicks, no unnecessary flourishes – just well-made, feel-good basics in a palette of neutrals and muted shades designed to soothe, not shout.
David Gandy Wellwear: Less is more
And that, really, is the point of Wellwear. The clothes are deceptively simple because the thinking behind them isn’t. This isn’t just another ‘athleisure’ brand. It’s a brand grounded in the science of comfort – the idea that the things we wear should actively contribute to our well-being. Everything is cut for ease and made from soft, natural fibres that have been treated to feel even better on the skin. According to Gandy, comfort isn’t just physical – it’s emotional, too. A soft T-shirt or robe, in the right context, can do more than look good. It can help you feel calm, confident, present.
It’s also quietly subversive. In a world still fixated on performance and productivity, Gandy’s Wellwear is making a case for slowing down. For clothes that encourage you to be kind to yourself. There’s a purpose to the pyjamas, a logic to the loungewear. It’s not about dressing up or dressing down – it’s about dressing to feel like yourself.
For a long time, menswear has been about armour. Sharp shoulders, technical fabrics, everything engineered for edge. Wellwear is the antidote to all that. It’s considered, yes – but never self-conscious. In the Summer 2025 collection, you’ll find clothes that are as easy on the eye as they are on the body. And in a season built on ease, that feels like the most stylish choice of all.
