The UK is renowned for its tailoring prowess, with London’s Savile Row symbolic of the masterfully crafted suiting and the rich heritage of the leading Brit brands. And London-based label Joseph – with its focus on wardrobe essentials with a contemporary flair – is no exception; the brand’s trusty marl gray blazer, with its gently oversized cut and double-breasted fastening, will smarten up trans-seasonal wardrobes.

Break with workwear traditions and forgo a sober poplin shirt in favor of Isabel Marant’s stretch-jersey button-up; with a geometric pattern in playful hues, this fitted turtleneck top will prove an antidote to the understated, even when paired with Joseph’s wide-legged suit pants. Add Nike’s classic running-style sneakers, Bottega Veneta’s tri-hoops in contrasting metals and enamel, and Balenciaga’s sculptural ‘Hourglass’ bag for an urban take on suiting style.

Switch up your look for evening by shrugging on the blazer over Loewe’s silky blouse with a delicate ribbon neckline; pearl-trimmed pumps and crystal-cascading earrings will dial-up the femininity, while Goldsign’s relaxed stonewash jeans will bring this masculine-feminine look back down to earth. Inject some color with Bottega Veneta’s candy-pink clutch and a slick of lipstick from La Bouche Rouge – the refillable leather case will be a chic addition to your evening bag.
