Now that we’re nearing the so-called “back-to-work” period, it’s only right that we start with the smarter option. Slowear’s trousers are famously flattering, so this white pair won’t require much styling. While it’s still hot, dress them up with loafers and a button-up shirt, keeping the palette light and the fit sharp. As the weather turns, layer in a blazer or a sweater and add a (striped) tie if the occasion calls for it.

Workwear styles like these from Cherry Los Angeles do the heavy lifting on their own. Paint-splattered and distressed, they already look like they’ve been put to use. Lean into the utility look with a canvas chore jacket or swap the jacket for a cardigan – something with a bit of texture, which makes the whole thing feel softer around the edges. Either way, let the jeans hold their own, rather than diluting them with anything too polished.

Double denim can be a tricky look to pull off – but LOEWE’s white jeans make it a tad more forgiving, sidestepping the usual clash of denim tones. A denim jacket in a matching shade works well over a T-shirt, but so does a classic blue one. The same goes for the shirt: swap in a chambray or light-wash denim style and it’ll still look intentional. Try to keep everything else pared back – low-profile sneakers or plain leather loafers, so you have nothing else competing for attention.
