GET TO WORK

Summer is over, cold weather is coming and that holiday glow is fast becoming a holiday yearning. It’s a pretty bleak picture. That needn’t be the case for your work wardrobe though, which should be finding a new lease of life roundabout now. Here’s our guide to getting dressed for work while looking like you mean business.

STRIPE ON STRIPE

CHECK IN

Checks needn’t be loud to make a statement. This season subtle crossing lines add just the right amount of interest to timeless tailoring.

ROLL WITH IT

JUMP START

CARRY IT OFF

Slick, streamlined and sophisticated, a grained leather pouch offers the smartest way to carry around all of your work essentials.
