What to wear and how
Key pieces
- Plain shirts in navy, olive, light blue, burgundy and cream.
- Slim chinos or dress trousers in beige, black, off-white, charcoal and dark brown.
- The constants in every look: plain white leather sneakers, a plain belt, a black-dial watch, acetate sunglasses and a small black crossbody bag.
How to combine them
- Everyday: navy shirt + beige chinos. The classic that never fails.
- Smarter: burgundy shirt + charcoal trousers, as in burgundy shirt + grey.
- Summer: light blue shirt + off-white trousers. For something more relaxed, try white linen + khaki.
When to wear it
Smart-casual office, everyday and travel: with the same accessories, a small suitcase covers a whole week.
Common mistakes
- Changing the accessories for every look: you lose the base that makes everything match.
- Shirt untucked with this set: with the belt on show, tuck it in and roll the sleeves.
- Trousers so long they bunch over the sneaker: the hem should sit just above it.
- A black belt with brown trousers: go for a brown belt.
Style tip
More contrast (light shirt with dark trousers, or the reverse) looks smarter; similar tones look more relaxed. Pick according to the day's plans.
