Weekend Wear: Here’s How to Look Fly in Nothing but Black and Navy

Sometimes, you just want to keep things simple. And there’s nothing quite as simple and stylish as a look grounded in tones of navy and black. All of these pieces are solid staples that’ll look great in just about any context. Worn together, though, they’re practically unstoppable.

Weekend Wear Inset

1. Orley Fine Cashmere Crewneck, $1,010

A thin-knit sweater is as good a summer staple as your favourite pair of shorts, and cashmere is soft enough to wear right on your skin without another shirt underneath.

2. Paul Smith Cotton-Wool Blend Brushed-Twill Trousers, $510

Slim fits are no longer the only game in town. It’s time to diversify your wardrobe with a slightly looser pair of trousers. You still want them to fit at the waist and taper in at the ankle, but a little extra room through the leg will provide a more relaxed look and feel.

3. Asos Bucket Hat, $20

The ’90s are back in a big way, and they’ve brought LL Cool J’s preferred hat style along for the ride. This version is straightforward enough that just about anybody can pull it off.

4. Miansai Lorem Brummel Hook on Leather Bracelet, $185

There’s a time and a place for a flashy watch or ring, but in your day-to-day, it’s best to keep things more subdued. The navy leather is provides a small hit of colour, while the matte-black hardware is right on trend.

5. Saint Laurent City Backpack in Nylon and Leather, $1,460

Backpacks have been getting a lot of props around the Sharp offices, and we’re not going to stop anytime soon. They’re a slick, simple way to keep yourself organized, whether you’re running around doing errands, going to the gym, or simply meeting up with friends to chill at the park.

6. Want Les Essentiels Lennon Sneaker, $475

Just because you’re rocking muted colours like black and navy doesn’t preclude you from having fun. These kicks have been livened up with a paint splatter effect, mixing in a welcome hit of white with the droplets and cup-sole.
