The Ultimate Guide To Building a Versatile Wardrobe
With more companies allowing business casual dress codes, many of our customers are struggling to create stylish jacket and trouser combinations.
So we decided to put together our three golden "rules" on how to build a wardrobe with a few versatile pieces that work well as separates, and how to mix and match them.
2. Always use textured fabrics
The fabric you choose is key to making separates look intentional. Fabrics like high-twist wool, hopsack, linen, flannel, or brushed cotton give jackets and trousers a unique look, unlike standard worsted wool, which is mostly used in formal suits and can look mismatched as separates.
3. Stick to versatile colours
For a wardrobe that’s easy to mix and match, go for classic colours like blues, greys, browns, and greens. Some of the best pieces include a midnight blue jacket, charcoal trousers, and light beige jackets or trousers. These basics are highly versatile and allow for endless combinations.
