SUITING 2.0: Deconstruct traditional tailoring codes by pairing Mango’s monochrome shawl collar tuxedo blazer with a black tank top and jeans. Fancy something fancier? Try a pinstripe Part Two waistcoat with autumn’s hot tip – the pencil skirt.
EXTRA WEAR TIME: Layer a black bustier over a tissue-thin polo neck or segue knee-length khaki shorts into the office with slingbacks and a knit Breton jacket (see How to Wear It for more ideas).
STAR BUY: Mary Jane flats continue their footwear reign for another season. Try Massimo Dutti’s nude leather iterations made comfy with an easy-to-wear elastic strap.
MONOCHROME MAGIC: Arket’s popular relaxed poplin shirts give corporate casual when paired with ponte flare trousers and a chic ballet flat.
