SPRING STYLE
MEN’S WARDROBE MUST-HAVES
Our pick of the best new-season menswear has all the key pieces you need to refresh your wardrobe for spring
Choose a shacket
A shacket is the perfect blend of a shirt and a jacket, usually in a checked pattern, and often worn slightly oversized. It hits the spot between a winter coat and a shirt, so is perfect for layering throughout the changeable spring months.
For those chilly days while you're working at home (but it’s not quite cold enough to turn the heating on), swap out your usual cardigan for the shacket. When the weather starts to climb, try pairing it with a sweatshirt and jeans, or maybe chinos and smart pair of leather loafers for heading out for dinner or drinks. And when the temperature truly warms up, combine with a white Supima cotton T-shirt and your most-loved denim pieces for an effortless summer go-to.
The essential polo shirt
Everyone should have at least one polo shirt in their wardrobe, perfect as a slightly dressier alternative to a T-shirt. Polo shirts have come a long way since their origin as tennis-playing gear, and are now acceptable wear for the office or nights on the town. You can elevate your look further by trading the usual piqué cotton for a sleek knit, giving the polo shirt a more polished aesthetic. This super-soft knit features a sophisticated striped navy design and a classic collar with retro-style buttons. For classic warm-weather style, pair with slim-fit chinos in a tonal shade and sleek sunglasses.
