A new season means we’re brainstorming new ideas for what to wear. And, as we get further into September, we’ll be taking style notes from those who merge comfort with every day luxury. Now’s the time to embrace those low-key but hard-working pieces that are the stalwarts of your wardrobe; a good blazer, a fresh pair of ballet flats or your new favourite carry-all. Feeling like a change? Switch up jeans for a pair of low-slung, mannish trousers or trade a roll-neck for a vintage-look slogan jumper.

A tweed or herringbone blazer – with a lightweight knit underneath – is your new best friend. 

Your favourite mid-week look can work just as well with trainers at the weekend: perfect for a September stroll. For extra cool, add a sporty sock.

A luxe clutch bag is the perfect way to jazz up an otherwise casual outfit. Keep your outfit neutral – it’ll allow your accessories to pop.

An oversized shirt is perfect work from home attire. We love how Irish events planner Jessica Garland Blake styles her Lacoste button-down.

Going casual doesn’t mean you can’t play with volume. We love the dramatic balloon sleeve on this knitted jumper by Colin Burke.

When it comes to transeasonal dressing, ballet flats are an ally. Nod to what’s now with a square-toe pump.

Nothing says laid-back cool like a slogan T-shirt or jumper. Pair with oversized fit trousers for borrowed-from-the-boys finesse.
