THE WEEKDAY
A small check. A stronger silhouette.
Cream-and-burgundy check shirt · black pleated chinos · black derbies
Tuck the shirt, leave the collar open and let the pleat give the top of the trousers room. For a casual office or a day in town—not a formal dress code.
Where I would spendThe check shirt is the useful change. Keep black trousers and lace-ups you already like.

03 / THE DINNER
Let the print do the talking.
Grey-blue floral silk shirt · black linen trousers · black derbies
A muted print feels more relaxed against plain black. Tuck softly and keep the collar open. The shopping choice uses a chunkier lace-up shoe than the illustration.
Where I would spendConsider the shirt only if you will enjoy the print beyond one evening. The weekday derbies work again here.

A$240
