Weekend Wear: Spring Tailoring Done Right
It’s time to pack away your thick wool suits and get into something a little lighter and brighter. Case in point: this breezy, colourful tailored look that’s designed to be comfortable and move with you, so you can enjoy the warmer days and nights in style.
1. BOSS Slim Fit Tailored Jacket, $1,195
Linen gets a bad rap, but BOSS has smartly blended the staple summer fabric with cotton and silk to combat wrinkles and give it some lustre. The rich green colour and patch pockets add an extra kick of style.
2. Fred Perry Chequerboard Shirt, $195
Play against expectations and pair a dark shirt with the lighter jacket and trousers. The jacquard chequerboard pattern provides some depth and playfulness to your outfit.
3. Burberry Slim Fit Herringbone Jersey Trousers, $495
Looking for a trouser that is lightweight and easy to movie in? Then jersey should be your go-to fabric. Burberry’s trim trousers are soft to the touch and have a subtle herringbone pattern for visual interest.
4. Brunello Cucinelli Fine Woven Belt, $775
It’s still best to keep the tones consistent between your belt and shoes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun with texture. This braided detail on this woven calfskin belt keeps things from looking too match-matchy.
5. Louis Vuitton Sac Plat Nomade Tote, $3,800
The slim design of this tote makes it easy to carry anywhere, and the burnt orange colour is unexpected and eye-catching.
6. Prada Tassel Loafer, $970 at Nordstrom
This is the pair of loafers you need in your closet this season. The tobacco brown hue and tassel detail combine for a refined aesthetic, while the rubber sole is both practical and sporty.
