"Keep things classic with a simple button-down and pocket square. For the perfect work-to-drinks look, loafers and a great bag put a slightly more fashionable spin on the basics."

"Put a contemporary spin on the look by adding box-fresh sneakers and a clean white tee. Perfect for those not-sure-what-to-wear occasions, just make sure your t-shirt is a boxy, relaxed fit."

"Put a weekend spin on the trousers with some clever additions – a chic knit, great coat and off-duty boots create a well-balanced, stylish edit."

"A great tie can make a suit. We like a bold print to contrast with a simple white shirt. A pocket square – this time an unfussy style – adds polish."

"Work your navy blazer harder by giving it a relaxed twist. A neutral colour palette, with soft, comfortable textures will help give you that elusive smart/casual balance."
