THE ART OF DRESSING
Get the Look: your how-to guide
Assembling the building blocks of a classic men’s wardrobe is important, but there’s a real art in putting together your favourite styles in clever ways to keep them fresh. Taking inspiration from artists’ flair for creative mash-ups, we brush up on the new menswear essentials
MIXED PALETTE
Dare to break classic sartorial rules and cultivate your confidence around experimentation with colour. Be bold and go for it and you won’t go far wrong

POP ART
Don’t be afraid of mixing bright,
punchy hues – commit to block
tones with the lightest colour
underneath to make it work
EASEL DOES IT
Block colours aren’t the only way to go; a subtle gingham shirt combined with softer shades is equally effective

SHOW YOUR STRIPES
Embrace the slightly crumpled look artists are renowned for. An offhand roll of the sleeve and a casually arranged collar encapsulate laid-back cool
LINE DRAWING
Stripes always look fresh. Whether you choose the iconic Breton,
chunky bands or slimline verticals, they’re decorative but still
very much down to earth. Wear them as statement pieces or
keep them subtle
READ BETWEEN THE LINES
On its own, this shirt is a great
summer basic. But it’s the
combination of pale blue and
washed purple, near neighbours on
the colour wheel, that gives it an
extra boost
THE STRIPE SET
It’s worth trying out a rugby shirt with something more unexpected on your bottom half, such as linen trousers. Dashes of bright colour bring the look to life
FEELING BLUE
Tone-on-tone combos highlight textural differences – here, stripes, linen and block blue sit well together
THE NEW EXHIBITIONIST
When the time comes to smarten up, stopping short of full-on formality is the way to go. Take a softer approach to tailoring or bring in precise pieces of knitwear for a more confident, less done-up feel

PURPLE PATCH
A vibrant accessory such as a purple tie invigorates a mid-blue look. The textural interplay between the knit of the tie and the chambray shirt adds depth
Model: Richard Biedul at Elite
KNIT HIT
Switch up your suiting by wearing knitwear instead of a shirt. The collar of the knitted polo keeps the outfit smart, while an all-blue palette brings harmony to the look
