As the seasons shift, so, too, will your weekday wardrobe. But with the right basics, trans-seasonal dressing needn’t be a challenge. Smart fabrics and clever cuts will see you through in style. Here’s how to navigate changing temperatures (or overzealous office air-conditioning!) with ease.

1. Pick pieces that breathe

High-tech fabrics are your friend. Lightweight materials designed for breathability and freshness will help you keep your cool on warm days or when you’re on the run, while also feeling comfortable under layers. This needn’t mean you need to compromise on style, though. Shop smart and have it both ways.

For women: Our Petal Print Short Sleeve Top fuses technical fabric with a polished aesthetic. The elegant silhouette is finished with antibacterial Polygiene® technology, designed for freshness in even the most demanding environments.catuhu_gyt_1

For men: A smart polo can transcend seasons, especially when it’s crafted from breathable yet durable fabric. Let the Anti-Bacterial Polyface Short Sleeve Polo bring wash-and-wear functionality and lasting freshness to your everyday look.catj2m_cyn_1

2. Choose trans-seasonal trousers

The timeless chino is a wardrobe classic for very good reason. Cut from comfortable mid-weight cotton twill that feels soft to the touch, it’s a design that’s cosy enough for cooler mornings yet light enough for warm days. It’s also super straightforward to style up, winter or summer - tuck in a tee or pair with a long-sleeved shirt and jacket, depending on the weather.

For women: Streamlined tailoring with a hint of stretch transforms this essential piece. Let the Chino Pant bring a casual-cool vibe to your workday wardrobe, whatever the forecast.cat3pr_dst_4

For men: The modern, straight cut and stretch waistband makes our best-selling Chino Pant a must-have. It comes in four smart shades – go lighter for summer and choose a deeper hue for the colder months.catj8w_wht_4

3. Wear a mid-weight jacket

A sharp blazer can transform your look in seconds. Throw it on over anything from jeans to smart separates for instant pulled-together polish. Unlike a strict suit jacket, a more relaxed design works day or night, summer or winter. When it’s warm, wear yours with a light top or tank for a little extra coverage in air conditioning. As the days draw in, style over a collared shirt and V-necked vest for extra fashion credit.

For women: In a soft shade and chic linen-look fabric, this versatile jacket will do double duty in your wardrobe. Use it to dress up denim or add an effortless finishing touch to tailoring.cat1e9_gry_1

For men: Half-lined and with a hint of stretch, meet your new favourite trans-seasonal piece. The classic lines of this jacket read corporate, while the modern fabrication keeps things more relaxed.catb94_nwt_2

4. Style out your shirt

From an office environment to a more casual setting, a crisp collared shirt is likely the backbone of your workwear wardrobe. It’s also an ideal item to help you navigate the seasonal shift. Invest in cotton-rich fabrics with a hint of stretch for a look that’s both comfortable and easy to care for. Wear unbuttoned at the neck and cuff your sleeves when it’s hot, then button up and layer under a jacket or fine wool knit come autumn.

For women: A subtle print in a pale tone will elevate your look instantly. With its soft grey lines, the Avignon Stripe Long Sleeve Shirt works just as well with light summer separates as it does with wintery suiting.catukt_gws_1

For men: A classic striped shirt in a pastel shade is perfect for warm weather – roll your sleeves and pair it with tailored shorts for a more relaxed take. Come the cold, look for a darker tone and style with slim-leg pants for effortless polish.catjd9_lbs_4

These four quick tips will ensure you get maximum milage out of your weekday look, whatever the weather. Remember; our work-ready range of wardrobe staples is built to keep you cool or cosy, while always looking sharp. As the seasons change, update your style essentials here.
