Seasonal Wardrobe Upgrade
September in England always brings that back-to-school feeling and for me it feels more like a new year than January. It’s also a very busy time when many of my male personal styling clients get in touch for a seasonal refresh and new clients approach me to upgrade, elevate, polish and sharpen their wardrobes. All styling is personalised but common requests are: to create a personal image brand, styling for work, socialising or dating, whatever the brief I curate a set of individual personalised looks to see clients through the season and beyond.
If you are looking to refresh and update your own wardrobe this season, scroll down to see some key pieces to inspire. You may even find you already own something similar.
the Overcoat
Overcoats can instantly elevate every outfit. The longer length adds drape and movement you just don’t get from shorter jackets, while the extra fabric makes them a stylish statement piece. Designed to layer, they are cut generously - making them just as easy to style in a formal, smart, casual, or sporty way.
Leather Jacket
This season there is an abundance of great leather jackets out there, in black and brown cool clean silhouettes. Just say no to biker jackets - aim for stylish, not midlife crisis. Elevated or edgy, not Jeremy Clarkson vibes.
Flannel Shirt
Choose from plaid checks to rich autumnal hues. The flannel shirt is super versatile and can work layered over a tee or knit and as a jacket, or buttoned up under a coat. A shirt style that adds tone and texture to both casual and smart-casual looks.
Cardigan
This autumn is all about layering and a cardigan keeps - no matter your personal style - your look elevated. Think of it as your favourite crew neck jumper, but with the ease of buttons or a zip. A good cardigan is the ultimate piece to take you through the season.
Raw Denim Jeans
Since the last raw denim moment - it's a circular trend that always comes back around - jeans have gone through numerous permutations from threadbare to acid wash. This autumn winter is all about a reset. Clean, classic, simple, deep dark indigo denim is back to anchor every outfit.
This season’s staples are all about ease with impact. From luxe overcoats to clean indigo denim, leather jackets, cardigans and flannel shirts, these pieces ground your wardrobe while giving every look texture and polish. No matter your personal style.
