For the classicists, reimagined iterations of the striped shirt continue to win hearts. Take Essentiel Antwerp’s use of lace patchwork or & Other Stories’ nipped-in waist: considered details that add structure and femininity, especially when rendered in soft colourways. Faithfull’s ‘Casia’ cotton-blend A-line maxi skirt offers an equally relaxed, late-summer aesthetic. Layer now with a short sleeve knit and sandals or a polo neck and boots coming into the cooler months ahead. Top tip: stick to the palette for an effortless look. Prefer a sportier twist? Swap that rugby shirt for a Ganni cotton striped polo. Pair with wide-leg cotton trousers from M&S and segue effortlessly into soft tailoring territory. Did I mention how soft they are? For the eclectic grandpa enthusiasts amongst us, pair an & Other Stories mohair-blend knitted vest with Boden’s Bowi-esque high-rise column jeans. Add a pair of Adidas Japan ‘Decon’ shoes for a nod to retro athleticism and a contrasting striped blazer for the full Harry Styles experience. Go on, I double dare you. All you need to do now is decide which one is more your type. Full disclosure: I’m still deciding. Send help. GET THE LOOK: 1.
