Light Overcoat
Perfect for transitioning into warmer days, this particular style of outerwear is favoured for its ability to layer. Destined to remain with you for many seasons, the light overcoat is the easiest way to make an outfit feel complete.
Boyfriend Blazer
Oversized is the name of the game here, with a generous blazer that takes cues from your boyfriend’s wardrobe. Putting proportion at the forefront and promising to elevate any casual look, this style has long been favoured for its timeless, sophisticated look.
Loafers
Arguably the most versatile shoe in any wardrobe, the trusty loafer is a style to which you can return in any circumstance or season. Marrying sleek refinement with study style, this staple shoe should always be on hand (or should we say, foot).
Transeasonal Knit
A versatile knit is essential for spring dressing, ensuring any look will be able to stand up to the season’s changeable weather. Our advice? Opt for something in high-quality yarn (neither too heavy, nor too light) and a style that allows you to layer.
Button-Down Shirt
Arguably the most crucial piece of any curated wardrobe is the classic button-down shirt. Simple, timeless and flattering on all, this tailored piece is the easiest way to make your day-to-day outfits feel polished. And while there are many iterations of the button-down out there, we suggest choosing one in a light, neutral tone.
Tailored Trousers
Nothing steps up a simple look like a pair of beautifully tailored, perfectly fitting trousers. Whether worn with a plain white T-shirt or with something a little more formal, tailored trousers will make anyone look (and feel) put together.
White Singlet
Having emerged from the Fall 2022 season as its hero piece, the plain white singlet is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Set to be one of the hardest-working basics in your wardrobe, a well-cut, high-quality white singlet will give you an air of cool, 90s-supermodel nonchalance.
