This off-white striped shirt by Comptoir des Cotonniers is a wardrobe essential, thanks to its effortlessly cool take on boyish style. Its straight cut and buttoned cuffs give the silhouette structure, while the back panel adds movement and ease. The perfect balance of style and comfort. Wear it with high-waisted jeans and ankle boots for a more feminine finish.

This red Pull & Bear shirt, with its stand-up collar, turns up the fashion dial without going overboard. Its vibrant colour catches the eye, while the structured neckline gives it a bolder edge than a classic shirt. No need for extra frills: style it with black trousers, a beautiful leather belt and loafers.

This is exactly the kind of top that gives wardrobe classics a fresh twist. With its merino wool, deep purple hue and close-fitting cut, this COS design is all about understated elegance. The detail that makes all the difference? Thumbhole cuffs, which extend the sleeves and add a contemporary edge. We can easily picture it under a menswear-inspired blazer, paired with tailored trousers and elegant heels.

Gina Tricot embraces XXL sleeves with this wonderfully soft white knit. Its funnel neck and mother-of-pearl buttons elevate the design well beyond a simple basic. The kind of piece you end up buying in every colour once you fall in love with it. Paired with chocolate-brown or cream trousers, it creates a clean, streamlined silhouette with plenty of character.

An off-white T-shirt is every wardrobe’s best friend: always there when you need it, and never a disappointment. At Sézane, the Nolan stands out thanks to its picot trim around the neckline and cuffs. This delicate scalloped edging gives it a retro charm and plenty of personality. Tuck it into high-waisted jeans and slip on a pair of ballet flats for that quintessential Parisian look that needs nothing more.

When Jonathan Anderson designs a collection for Uniqlo, preppy style gets a rosy makeover. Among the standout pieces is this lovely sleeveless vest in a cashmere blend, perfect for the in-between season. Its pink and burgundy argyle pattern adds a graphic touch, while the cosy knit invites endless layering possibilities. Style it with a skirt, loafers and knee-high socks for an unmistakably British look!

This cotton lace blouse ticks every box for a bohemian wardrobe. With its relaxed fit and long sleeves, this Monoprix design strikes a romantic note without going overboard. We love the delicate lace, which turns it into a true statement piece. Pair it with a long skirt to lean into the romantic mood.

Fiery red makes its way into the wardrobe with this sleeveless knit by Etam. Made from wool, it brings warmth and a welcome burst of energy to transitional-season outfits. The detail that makes all the difference? Gold buttons on the shoulders, adding an elegant finishing touch. Wear it over a white shirt or layer it directly over a long-sleeved top for a stylish play on proportions.

The classic Breton stripe gets an affordable refresh with this H&M jumper, featuring horizontal cream and black stripes. A timeless wardrobe staple, it combines an easy-to-style graphic contrast with a relaxed feel. Our favourite combination? Layer it over a white shirt, letting the collar and cuffs peek out, then add straight-leg jeans and loafers.

This long-sleeved design by Massimo Dutti stands out with its double-layer boat neckline, creating the illusion of a layered top. Rolled edges enhance its laid-back feel, with that perfectly undone look that works so well. Wear it with loose black trousers for a minimalist outfit that is anything but ordinary.
