JUST LANDED: THE MODERN UTILITY EDIT

Classic silhouettes, earthy hues and pockets aplenty are the key ingredients of this season’s most effortless trend

Under cover

The utility trend gathers pace this season, influencing sleek tailoring and off-duty staples. Natural materials like cotton and linen in earthy hues, desert shades and classics like white, cream and navy, are key. With its straight cut and placement pockets, a navy textured jacket is a perfectly understated take on the trend. For a more casual feel, go for our military-inspired field jacket which can be worn over anything.

Everyday heroes

Head-to-toe tonal is the modern way to wear colour. Cargo pockets and oversized buttons give this ecru denim skirt a practical twist, while a cream bomber jacket will add a touch of luxe to your overall look. Slip pockets and statement buttons make this chic short-sleeved jumpsuit ideal for between-seasons dressing. Set to become the hardest-working item in your wardrobe, a white linen shirt will pair perfectly with sand-coloured chinos, true blue jeans and cargo pants alike.
