Autonomy of a look: Oliver Proudlock, founder and fashion designer at Serge DeNimes

A wardrobe essential, Proudlock proves the denim jacket’s inimitable versatility with some canny layering nous. Two-buttoned, worn oh-so-casually but executed like a pro. Top marks, mate. Denim jacket, Zara, €49.95

Looking to create a signature? It’s all about the detail as Mr P’s trademark frames attest. Tortoiseshell glasses, Zara, €25.95

Heritage, purpose-built work boots give a lived-in, love-worn edge to a very polished chap. These Red Wing beauties are relentlessly good value. Buy them now, have them forever. Red Wing 6-inch moc toe leather boots, Asos, €336.61
