Fashion trend: Blazers

If there’s one way to sharpen up any outfit, it’s with an impeccably-tailored blazer.

Pre-fall sees the single-button reign supreme as proposed by Louis Vuitton and Gucci.

Think crisp shirting punctuated by a skinny tie or fine knit layering when the mercury starts to fall.

So beautifully simple; it almost seems too easy.

STYLE NOTES

* SILHOUETTE: Sharp is as sharp does. Look to a lean leg and create length by using similar shades and tone of one colour.

* PRINT: Prince of Wales checks tick the box this season. Think Steve McQueen in The Thomas Crown Affair and you’re on the right track.

* OFF DUTY: Pair with a denim shirt for weekend wardrobe ease.
