TRANSEASONAL WARDROBE STAPLES
The time between seasons can be tricky to navigate when it comes to outfitting. With our ever-unpredictable British weather, it’s wise to invest in versatile pieces that can withstand the transition from winter, to spring, to eventually summer. Year-round fundamentals, if you will. Read on to see our picks for the transeasonal period.
Lightweight jackets
When it’s too warm for a thick winter coat but not quite balmy enough to go without, it’s time to look into lightweight jackets. Shackets and overshirts are great options here – throw them over a cotton tee or a light knit and you’ve got a smart-casual look that’s ready for a breezy weekend.
If you need something thicker and a bit more durable, a field jacket hits the spot. Crafted from showerproof fabric with a quilted lining, it’ll keep you cosy when paired with a long-sleeved knit, and protect you from the inevitably wet autumn weather. And with an abundance of pockets, you’ll never lose your wallet again.
Airy knits
Jumpers aren’t just for the dead of winter – a lightweight knit can do wonders between the seasons. Our merino skipper polos, for example, are light enough to wear on their own (and feels great against the skin due to the merino rich composition), but can be layered under a thicker knit or coat if the occasion or the weather calls for it.
If you want to stay classic, merino knits are a staple for any transeasonal smart-casual wardrobe. Smarten them up with suit, or pair with chinos and loafers for easy elegance.
Versatile trousers
A good pair of trousers will see you through the seasons, especially if they’re in a versatile tone like our brown moleskin trousers. Lightweight enough for warmer days, linen trousers work just as well with the matching jacket as they do on their own, paired with a knitted tee or a loose button-down. Tailored on our slim block, they’ll take you from desk to drinks with ease.
Foundational suiting
A new take on timeless tailoring, like our gold tweed suit, will see you through events and casual evenings alike. Crafted from a textured wool blend, this three piece can be worn all together or as separates depending on the occasion.. However you choose to style it – a roll neck, crew neck or a smart shirt – you’re guaranteed to wear it time and time again, regardless of the season.
If you’re looking for your new favourite all-round suit, the slim fit navy stripe ticks all the boxes. With a timeless pinstripe pattern, it works just as well for the office as it does for a smart evening event. Combine with a denim shirt for a laid back feel.
