HIS STYLE: FROM WORK TO WEEKEND

In new season navy or quintessential black.

Chino’s are a stylish go-to that can make even the plainest tee or shirt look dressy. The cotton-drill fabric is relaxed while still being office appropriate and a dark colourway also helps to assert a sense of formality.

On the weekend (or casual Fridays) roll up the hems and wear with a casual street shoe or sneaker.

A simple round neck or v-neck sweater is always a good idea.

Invest in a good quality knit and this kind of piece will last for several seasons. Great over a dress shirt for an impromptu business meeting or great to have on hand in a drafty office.

For a weekend catch-up wear over a tee to instantly dress-up jeans.

An aged leather adds personality without looking too perfect.

Besides being incredibly handy and if looked after well, a leather satchel should get better with age. Not a fan of leather? Try a similarly worn-in fabric like suede or canvas.

And if satchels aren’t your style, a backpack is a great alternative.

Semi-formal meets street style.

When searching for a versatile boot for work consider suede. Besides being bang-on trend suede gives a formal style more edge and a relaxed outfit more formality.

Suede does require a little more maintenance though, so be sure to grab some waterproof protectant.

When the season only calls for a lightweight coat choose one of the above.

An Anorak offers a little more length and rain protection while a bomber jacket could be worn inside all day if required.

Both will give an outfit personality and edge, you just have to decide which suits you best.
