All tied up

Double up

Multitasking garments, such as this artsy shirt-jacket hybrid, make sense when you’re looking to get more out of your purchases.

Push and pull

Introducing two ways to make an impression with a shirt this season: subtly (think a zipped white top) and over the top – we’re talking full-on boucle with the pants and shoes to match.

Seeing double
