What are you dressing for?

Work
Offices with no written dress code.
Date Night
Dinner, drinks, something later.
Wedding Guest
Garden, city hall, black tie.
Vacation
Heat, humidity and a carry-on.
Weekend
Comfortable, but not given up.
Party
Birthdays, launches, late nights.
Street Style
Layering and proportion for its own sake.

06Accessories
Complete the look
Swap the shoes and you have a different outfit. Accessories do more per pound than anything else in a wardrobe — which is why they deserve the same thought as the clothes.
Shoes
Change the shoes and you change the entire register of an outfit.
Bags
Shape and scale matter more than the logo on the front.
Watches
One versatile watch outperforms a drawer of statement pieces.
Jewellery
Layering rules that keep things intentional, not cluttered.
Sunglasses
Frames are face-shape maths more than fashion.
Belts
The quiet detail that decides whether tailoring looks finished.
07Through the year
Dress for the season
Weather is the one style constraint you cannot argue with. Here is how each season changes the brief.
Spring
March – MayLight layers you can remove by noon, and one jacket that handles rain.
Ecru, soft olive, washed indigo
Summer
June – AugustBreathable fabric, looser cuts and colours that survive strong daylight.
White, sand, faded sage
Autumn
September – NovemberThe best layering season: texture, mid-weight knits, boots earning their keep.
Camel, rust, deep brown
Winter
December – FebruaryOne excellent coat, warm layers underneath, and shoes that cope with weather.
Charcoal, forest, cream
