    01. Navy Blue Suit

    If you're looking to own one classic suit, then pick navy, which fits all occasions thanks to its crowdpleasing shade. It's less severe than black or grey and it looks just as flattering on a woman.

    02. White Shirt

    A crisp clean white shirt is a blank canvas that will always be a winner no matter the pairing.

    03. Denim Straight-Cut Jeans

    Skinny, flare or bellbottom jeans may have a trending shelf life but the straight cut jeans is classic and definitely one to share with your other half if you're the same size.

    04. Khaki Trousers

    It may be associated with a preppy look or summer vacation, but it's all about succinct pairings. Look sharp for that boardroom meeting by adding a tie to this classic ensemble of khaki trousers and a tailored white shirt. For ladies, accents of architectural gold jewellery will elevate the look of these casual pants.

    05. Blue Oxford Shirt

    A closet staple for most men, especially in a corporate setting. On a woman, the blue Oxford shirt exudes a dressed down appeal. Think typical French girl style - skinny blue jeans, a string of pearls and ballerina pumps.

    06. Smart Loafers

    These are the only dress shoes a man really needs. They look sharp with a suit as well as a simple T-shirt and jeans combo. Women can style the loafers with an androgynous flair or even with a floral dress. Both styles give a refreshing take on this masculine footwear.

    07. Grey Pullover

    There's something undeniably chic about a grey pullover. Worn with tailored black trousers and a pair of pointed pumps, this is an outfit that works for both work and going out with friends. The same look works for guys as well - just swop your footwear to a pair of shiny black oxfords.

    08. Leather Sandals

    These leather sandals are not just summer footwear. Pair them with a coloured suit for a trendy dress down look. If you get to travel this winter, layer your sandals with a pair of socks. It'll go hand in hand with your cashmere sweaters, jeans and a tailored wool coat.
