In an era of hype (and where a banana taped on a wall can go viral), the luxuriously pared-down styles in these pages are a timely reminder that less is often more.
DIFFERENT PERSECTIVE
Update the classic combination of white shirt and grey trousers by swopping the shirt for a mock-neck, longsleeved top and opting for pants with a slightly fluid silhouette.
HUNG UP ON DETAILS
Luxury is often about subtle surprises. The artsy lines in this ensemble look like deliberate wrinkles – but they are actually formed by setting small folds in the fabric during the production process.
UP TO EARTH
A mix of subtle textures, courtesy of a linen jacket and a cashmere pullover, elevate an earthy palette.
FRESH FUSION
Spring/Summer’s bright, cheerful hues might not be groundbreaking – but creating an elegant contrast to them with a deep, autumnal brown comes close.
EASY LIVING
Comfort is an integral part of style. Luxuriously tactile fabrics these days can run the gamut from traditional cashmere (as in these trousers), to the technical fabric used for this turtleneck top.
PERFECT BALANCE
Not new but definitely gaining in popularity, the shacket walks the fine line between a shirt and a jacket. It’s definitely a more stylish alternative to the shirt that’s tossed over a tee.
NEW NEUTRALS
Cargo pants often get a bad rap for being sloppy. Done in a crisp cotton and paired with a structured top, this look is anything but.
SUGAR RUSH
Bermuda shorts get a fashionable update this season, in a longer length, a billowy silhouette – and a playful candy-pink hue.
