We’re not saying the dress code is dead, but for this summer’s events, no one is going to tell you what to wear, or how to wear it. Long live rebellion: take a different approach and dress for the way you feel. Relaxed tailoring at a wedding ceremony, a little showiness for your friend’s birthday barbecue, or calm and casual for outdoor drinks: subverting the dress code is the way to mix things up – and feel good trying (without being try-hard). Take a look…
THE MODERNIST
Formality courtesy of a double-breasted shape, and ease courtesy of the washed linen fabrication – the Tansey blazer and trousers are a go-to if you’re not feeling like feeling buttoned-up. You’ll layer printed shirts and t-shirts for the most relaxed route, but textured linen shirts are also an option for softer suiting looks. The Hanbury loafer, with its western buckle, is a modern non-boring shoe option.
THE MINIMALIST
Feel like drawing attention (but not too much)? Pull focus with a simple look that speaks volumes. Whether you’re headed to a day party or something more formal, tick off the old-school 90s inspired hit list with an all-white ensemble that also features denim and leather. The deceptive simplicity of the Miller Zip Up Leather Jacket is the perfect foil for the new Lenny wide leg jeans – their rigid cotton construction give new meaning to the idea of crisp denim.
THE REMIX
For a more low-key spin on this look, opt for classic running sneakers and a Hawaiian shirt.
THE NON-CONFORMIST
Sometimes you just need to slow the pace: set the tone with the relaxed Leopaz shirt and Ardy cargo shorts, with a calm, casual and collected feel. The camp collar and leopard print are nods of excitement, but the Hawaiian shape and soft fabrication are super relaxed. The lightweight Ardy Cargo Shorts will take you everywhere, but white socks and loafers add a little edge.
THE REMIX
The day after the night before? Pair the shorts with sliders instead of loafers, and add a classic baseball cap.
