MHL. UTILITY WEAR is a functionality-focused line from MHL., created by British designer Margaret Howell. MHL. was introduced in 2003 as a collection that develops Howell’s design philosophy through the practicality of workwear and uniforms, and UTILITY WEAR was presented as a new line for Autumn/Winter 2026. It offers outerwear, trousers, shirts, and T-shirts made with functional materials and featuring properties such as lightweight construction and water repellency.

A collection centered on the practicality characteristic of MHL., using functional materials. Its clean designs, which can be worn like uniforms, and durable construction suit a wide range of settings, from everyday life to travel.

  MHL. UTILITY WEAR is a line within MHL., an apparel offshoot of MARGARET HOWELL, that offers items prioritizing lightness and functionality. While carrying forward the practicality derived from MHL.’s workwear, it uses materials such as lightweight nylon, water-repellent fabrics and cotton-blend jersey to offer everyday wear including shirts, tops and trousers. Whereas MHL. as a whole broadly incorporates durable materials and hard-wearing specifications, this line focuses on the wide range of uses made possible by functional materials, serving a role suited to settings from everyday life to travel.
