5 KEY INVESTMENTS FOR YOUR TRANSEASONAL WARDROBE
The seasons are changing and so is your wardrobe.
It’s a fact, we’re entering one of the trickiest times of year to dress. How do we know what to wear when the weather can’t make up its mind? It’s chilly when we leave the house, and if we’re lucky, it might be sunny and warm by the afternoon. But instead of mourning the loss of sundress weather, let’s see it as an opportunity for a wardrobe reset.
That’s where our edit of 5 Key Investments For Your Transeasonal Wardrobe comes in. Choosing 5 strong wardrobe players is the ultimate way to prep your wardrobe for the changing seasons and weather ahead.
THE CLASSIC TRENCH, INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED
It’s a classic for a reason. The trench coat has been a staple transeasonal silhouette for years - no, really, it was first invented and popularized in the early 19th century. We’ve gone for a more modern approach, and of course we’ve made one with a wealth of intelligent design details you’ll love.
Enter our Oversized Cotton Trench Coat. It retains all the classic features of a trench coat - think shoulder epaulettes, a front flap, a back storm flap and a belted waist - but we’ve also introduced some more contemporary details. It’s rendered in a versatile and eternally autumnal deep olive hue and is made from structured cotton that’s water-resistant, perfect for those unpredictable showers. We’ve also added a button-detachable hood for the option of extra coverage. Cinch the silhouette with the optional belt - use the buckle or make a casual knot - or wear it without for a straight-cut double-breasted look.
THE PERFECT WHITE SHIRT
Having the perfect white shirt in your wardrobe delivers the ultimate antidote to outfit dilemmas. It’s a hard-working and dependable classic that may have once been considered a ‘borrowed from the boys’ option, but now is firmly cemented as a cornerstone to every woman’s wardrobe.
Our Dipped Hem Crop Shirt is made from crisp cotton poplin for a classic look, but is modernized with a slightly cropped front hem and a rounded, dropped back that’s ideal for leaving tucked or untucked.
Another versatile option, our Travel Layering Shirt is part of our coveted Travel Tailoring collection. It follows an ultra-minimal silhouette and has a lightweight, woven texture, ideal for layering with knitwear or blazers, or teaming with your favorite denim.
ALL SEASONS KNITS
Knitwear doesn’t just have to mean chunky yarns and voluminous roll necks. Our knitwear edit includes easy-wearing summer to autumn - and beyond - options.
Take our Merino Cashmere Crop Tee for example. A textural take on the wardrobe staple T-shirt, it’s made from a lightweight and naturally breathable blend of merino and cashmere and follows a relaxed silhouette. Choose between cream or olive green hues for those in-between weather days when a T-shirt isn’t quite enough, but you’re not yet ready to bring out your long-sleeved styles.
Layering is key when it comes to conquering transeasonal dressing, and that’s where a great knit vest comes in. Read more about why a knitted vest is a layering essential.
Our Lofty V-neck Vest works as a standalone top or a layering piece. It’s made from an ultra-soft blend of merino, cashmere and silk fibers and follows a minimal V-neck silhouette. Wear it over a classic white shirt on cooler days, or choose it as a textural alternative to a tank top - perfect for teaming with lightweight jackets or blazers.
TIMELESS TAILORING
For high-impact polish with minimal effort, you can’t go wrong with a tailored blazer. Whether it’s worn as part of a full set or simply thrown on over a t-shirt and your favorite jeans, it’s a great style solution for transitioning between seasons as it gives extra warmth without the commitment of a coat or jacket.
We’re loving the combination of neutral tones and smart pinstripes in our cream and caramel styles. The streamlined single-breasted cut allows for lightweight layering underneath, think a fitted tank top or a fine-knit vest, while the pinstripes deliver a classically smart look.
A NEUTRAL TROUSER
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to neutrals. No matter your preferred neutral palette, the key is choosing a shade with mileage within your own wardrobe. Something that will work with your favorite summer and winter tones alike will see you through seasons to come.
Our Crease Front Trouser is the ultimate balance between smart and casual codes. The deep autumn olive shade is ultra versatile for easy styling and the stretch-infused cotton promotes all-day comfort. Note how pressed front creases have a flattering, elongating effect.
Charcoal grey is another staple shade in the neutral canon. Our Boys Pleat Front Mélange Twill Pant works as the foundation to bright and muted shades alike and the subtle white pinstripes give them an elevated edge.
