David Beckham appears in country attire, alongside his dogs and vegetable garden at his Cotswolds estate, in Country Life magazine.
According to The Guardian, the leading figure in the country-style men's fashion trend is none other than David Beckham.
In the latest issue of Country Life magazine, David Beckham appears in a variety of styles: from tweed blazers to corduroy trousers, exuding the classic charm of a British gentleman.
Despite being photographed on his sprawling Cotswolds estate, David Beckham's style is sophisticated enough to grace a high-fashion runway or be seen in upscale shopping districts.

Country fashion is on the rise.
Today, the British country style is gaining popularity among men who want to project an "old money" vibe – a minimalist, sophisticated, and classic style inspired by the long-established wealthy upper class, focusing on high quality, elegance, and understated elegance.
According to cultural commentator Jason Diamond, this trend reflects men's growing interest in personal style.
While business suits haven't regained their appeal due to the trend towards flexible work arrangements, Jason Diamond suggests that many buyers are looking for something "a little more mature."

On recent men's fashion runways, there's a clear shift from loose-fitting silhouettes and sneakers to waxed coats, tailored tweed jackets, and polished leather shoes. Some even worry that berets are about to become the "new version of the baseball cap."
According to Esquire 's fashion director, Johnny Davis, this trend also has a "showcase" element. He commented: "It's remarkable that David Beckham admitted that director Guy Ritchie – a pioneer of the farmer cosplay style – made him appreciate rural life even more."

Guy Ritchie's Netflix series The Gentlemen (2024) is considered one of the works that started this trend.
And perhaps it is precisely that dreamy element that makes this style so appealing. Brands like M&S are now releasing items previously only found in high-end country stores, such as twill chinos and waxed coats.
At John Lewis, considered the "holy grail" of country fashion, searches for tweed jackets increased by 300% in just one week, while searches for plaid jackets increased by 100%.
The "rich autumn dad" trend is booming.
Not just limited to David Beckham's image in Country Life , the "Rich Autumn Dad" trend is spreading rapidly across runways and social media.
Many major brands quickly embraced this trend. One UK retailer launched an entire "Heritage" category on its website, with cable-knit sweaters and fisherman sweaters becoming bestsellers.
Zara's winter collection features striped rugby shirts and wool vests; while at Reiss, brushed fabric overshirt jackets and plaid blazers are topping the sales charts.

Fashion critic Jason Diamond commented: "Men today want something classic but not rigid. The country gentleman style is the perfect blend of elegance and a touch of ruggedness, just enough to look masculine yet still suitable for dinner or parties."
David Beckham's photos perfectly illustrate this: he's wearing a tailored shirt, rubber boots, and gardening. He looks busy, but in a 'luxurious kind of busy'.

So what makes this style so appealing? Fashion commentator Jason Diamond suggests it's "a rebellion against the over-connection of modern life."
Meanwhile, Esquire fashion director Johnny Davis saw "the romance of the analog age" in it. He said, "When everything out there is digital and uncertain, the image of the field, the dog, and the worn tweed jacket offers a rare sense of peace."
