Basic White T-shirt

Versatile and practical, a basic white T-shirt is the base for so many looks. Almost like an invisible layer to build an outfit around, for example layered with an interesting overshirt or with a pair of classic shorts for summer.

The Best thing about the Basic white T is that it’s not going to attract too much attention and you can choose more eye catching piece to pair it with.

The Polo shirt

Ultra breathable summer staple is the woven polo shirt in a pastel colour. You really can’t go wrong with a classic polo as it can be dressed up for a smart casual look but also dressed down as a very casual holiday/weekend piece.

Best to be paired with chinos or a pair of smart shots in the summer or layered with your suit or knitwear in the winter.

A classic suit

Even if you don’t wear a suit very often we think you should always have at least one in your wardrobe to bring out on those occasions you want to dress up a bit more or even just to wear out to the pub on the weekend. A suit doesn’t have to be supper formal, if you style it well it can be a very well put together casual look.

For example pair it with a polo neck jumper or polo shirt to add the casual feel.
