A well-crafted wardrobe requires foundational pieces that lend themselves to both weekend and work. Each addition should complement the pieces you own to lend versatility and ease. 

HOW TO BUILD A CAPSULE WARDROBE 

While there’s no set rule on how many pieces qualify as a capsule edit, what is central to the ultimate wardrobe is putting together outfits that consist of interchangeable items. The idea is to carry what was there before into the new season, adding as you go, one season to the next. These pieces should be building blocks of capsule style, embracing good construction and balancing smart and casual.  

Consider the 10x10 capsule wardrobe method – pick ten pieces to style for ten days, ten different ways and build from there. 

THE MUTED PALETTE 

Muted finishes add a timeless appeal to the everyday wardrobe, and our collections are defined by established colours that can be relied upon for their wearability. Dusty greys, black and white are apparent throughout the collection, and should be the foundation of any wardrobe. Cashmere crew-neck jumpers in muted tones are the ideal centre point, embracing classic style and warmth.  

FOUNDATIONS 

Classic short-sleeved T-shirts and loose-fitting trousers in essential colours work for every month of the year, adding a sense of longevity to the staple wardrobe. Timeless styling calls for considered layering – invest in pieces that prioritise comfort and style like cashmere knitwear in cashmere or a wool overcoat. 

THE WHITE SHIRT 

Whether worn as part of a suit or over a tee, the classic white shirt is a champion of enduring style and can be worn multiple ways. Layering with more casual outerwear like the workwear-inspired canvas jacket highlights its versatility, while wearing underneath a blazer restores its classic status. Its ability to balance smart and laid-back, foundation and outfit hero, makes the white cotton shirt a true wardrobe necessity, offering potential for styling into winter and beyond.  

NEW KNITWEAR 

The Autumn Winter 2024 collection is underpinned by diverse options in an easy-to-style palette. The modern cardigan, the classic half-zip jumper and the chunky knit are the cornerstones of the new knitwear collection. The cardigan is rendered in a muted grey tone that’s easy to incorporate into existing looks by layering over a T-shirt and trousers, while the half-zip jumper adds modern detail to a classic. Wear the chunky knit as a top layer during milder days or layer under outerwear as winter approaches.  

MODERN TAILORING 

Tailoring is a must year-round, and while the new collection is inspired by classic design, there are modern details and construction techniques that signal a fresh perspective. Unstructured, slightly loose shapes bring a relaxed mood and can be styled multiple ways. A standout from our latest collection is the collarless blazer: the absence of lapels creates a streamlined finish, while its wool fabrication lends a luxury feel.
