The feeling
Borrowed from country clubs and Ivy League quads: navy blazers, cable-knit sweaters over the shoulders, pleated trousers, polo shirts and loafers without socks. It's preppy, but older and calmer, in navy, cream, bottle green and tan.

Three ways to wear it
Day
Knit polo, cream trousers, loafers, sweater over the shoulders.
Work
Oxford shirt, navy blazer, grey trousers, a leather-strap watch.
Night
Navy blazer over a cream knit, pleated trousers, polished loafers.
Stylist's tip. Fit is everything here: a hem that's 2 cm too long makes the whole look read cheap. Get trousers taken up.
When to wear it
Works from 10°C to 26°C (50–79°F) outdoors.
