HOW TO:
CREATE A SUMMER CAPSULE WARDROBE
Curate the perfect men’s capsule wardrobe with our wear-forever foundations you’ll turn to time and time again
The easy knit
It may be summer, but light knitwear should still have a place in your capsule wardrobe for cooler days and evenings. Machine washable and easy to care for, our textured button-through cardigan has a smart collar and is woven from a cotton-rich yarn for ultimate softness and breathability. Throw on over summer T-shirts and shorts for an extra layer at the beach or for enjoying long summer evenings. Heading out for lunch? Smarten up lightweight knits with a pair of slim-fit stretch chinos and suede loafers for an effortlessly put-together look.
The linen suit
A summer capsule wardrobe should consist of high-quality essentials to keep you looking cool when it’s hot. A linen suit will see you through all your summer events in style and comfort. Our pinstriped Miracle suit has an easy-to-iron linen-rich finish and crease-recovery technology, so you’ll stay looking crisp all day long – no need to worry about wrinkles. The fabric has been crafted by a specialist Italian mill and has a smooth, supple finish. Swap the shirt for a T-shirt and add box-fresh white trainers for another way to wear the linen suit that still looks suave and is great for summer parties.
The summer-ready ecru jeans
You’re guaranteed to wear light-coloured trousers all summer long, so a good pair is well worth investing in. Our ecru jeans come in five cuts, from skinny to regular, and are made with responsibly sourced cotton to keep you comfortable in the heat. Alternatively, our linen-blend trousers offer an even breezier option: choose from six versatile colours and three leg lengths for the perfect fit. For leisurely afternoons in the beer garden or more casual occasions, wear with a short-sleeve shirt in an eye-catching jacquard fabric. Complete the look with Autograph leather sandals for off-duty sophistication. Roll on summer holidays.
The linen shirt
Eazy-breezy linen is a great alternative to cotton when the mercury starts to rise. Our linen shirt is breathable and helps keep you cool and dry even on humid days. Plus, the easy-to-iron finish makes caring for your new shirt a breeze. A beige linen shirt is an effortless summer outfit idea, no matter the occasion. Pair with cream chinos for a smart warm-weather work look. Wear it open over a T-shirt with shorts for weekend adventures, like BBQs and garden parties. We also love a pure white linen shirt on holiday, so make sure there’s space for it in your suitcase. Wear with jersey drawstring shorts to go from beach to bar.
