Cue all the stylish components needed to build your ultimate French-neat aesthetic. This spring, handily wrapped up in a core capsule edit to weave into your workwear, take into town, or simply utilise as your everyday uniform.
The polo shirt collar is an important detail of the season
There are some key players, of course. Get fully prepped in a trophy blazer - you’ll wear it all the time. Pick from a pinstripe, tweed or clean boyish finish, in double-breasted, cropped and pocket-front shapes. These are forever-jackets and just make good fashion sense.
A knitwear-elevating tie-back faultless for city mooching or living it up at weekends
It's time to stripe up in less-than-ordinary Breton top upgraders. Revived with fancy cuff details, relaxed boxy fits and the It sporty polo collar of the season, she’s a clever little number we’d happily wear daily. Your trusty jeans aren't going to know what's hit them.
