What is Paul Smith's signature design?

Paul Smith's most recognisable design element is the multicolour stripe — a sequence of colours used in linings, cuffs, shirt fabrics and accessories. The stripe draws on Victorian deckchair fabric and 1960s London colour culture. It appears as a lining detail in otherwise plain garments as often as it appears as the main fabric, which gives Paul Smith pieces their "classic with a twist" quality — conservative in silhouette, distinctive in detail.

Is Paul Smith true to size?

Paul Smith follows European sizing with a modern, trim fit — more tailored than American brands but not as slim as some Italian houses. Shirts and trousers run true to size. Footwear tends to be slightly narrower than standard UK lasts, which is worth bearing in mind if you have wider feet. Our team can advise on specific styles and fits both in store and online.

What categories of Paul Smith does OD's stock?

We stock a broad range: casual and formal shirts, polo shirts, graphic and plain t-shirts, knitwear, outerwear, footwear (trainers and leather shoes), swimwear, underwear and accessories including wallets, card holders and socks. The buying at OD's covers both the mainline Paul Smith and PS by Paul Smith diffusion ranges.

How should I care for Paul Smith shirts?

High-count cotton shirting (100–140s thread count) should be washed at 30°C or 40°C with a gentle cycle and hung immediately to avoid creasing. Iron inside-out at medium heat to protect printed fabrics and any Signature Stripe detailing. Paul Smith offers an in-house repair and re-tailoring service for garments requiring alterations or button replacement, available through authorised retailers.

Is Paul Smith good value at the price?

Paul Smith sits below the absolute top tier of British menswear (Savile Row, Dunhill) but above the upper-premium high street. The value case is built around Italian and Portuguese manufacturing quality, premium fabric counts and longevity of design — pieces in the core range don't date seasonally. The regular sale discounts available at OD's also make entry points at 30–65% off common across many styles.
