In the ever-evolving world of fashion, there’s one truth that stands the test of time: investing in timeless pieces never goes out of style. Welcome to classics reloaded, where we explore the concept of investment dressing and highlight must-have staples for this fall season. These pieces are designed to work season after season, offering versatility, longevity, and effortless elegance. Our Style Team has curated four essential classics that will refresh your wardrobe while promising years of wear. Let’s dive into these must-haves and explore how they blend sophistication with practicality.

Herringbone: Tailored for Timelessness

Nothing exudes timeless elegance quite like herringbone. This sophisticated pattern, with its distinctive V-shaped weave, has graced runways and wardrobes for decades, standing as a subtle statement that never overpowers but always impresses. Herringbone’s rich texture and visual intrigue make it a versatile choice, seamlessly transitioning from formal occasions to everyday wear. Its origins in menswear lend it an air of authority and tradition, embodying a classic aesthetic that remains relevant in contemporary fashion.

Our longline herringbone coat is a testament to this timeless appeal. Designed with a buttonfront closure and deep flap pockets, it offers a structured silhouette that flatters all body types. The muted blue lining provides a hidden layer of sophistication, making every detail count. Crafted from the well-loved fibre, wool, this jacket takes full advantage of the material's natural insulating

The Resurgence of the Suit: Always Polished

In recent seasons, the suit has made a powerful return, proving that classic never goes out of fashion. It breaks traditional boundaries, allowing women to express their individuality in a space that has historically been dominated by menswear. The suit is no longer stiff or confined to the boardroom – instead it has evolved into a more relaxed and often deconstructed ensemble, allowing its foundational pieces to become timeless and versatile fashion investments that you can cherish for years to come. 
Our feature suit showcases a wide-leg tailored pant which combines the polish of a dress pant with the comfort of your favorite joggers. This unique blend is achieved through design elements like a drawstring waistband, which enhances ease of movement while maintaining a refined, professional look. The center front leg seams add a touch of sophistication. Complementing these trousers is an understated herringbone blazer, an essential piece that epitomizes polished style. In a perfect shade of grey, this fully lined blazer showcases the style elements of a classic: a notch collar, single-button closure, and front flap pockets that contribute to its tailored aesthetic. The blazer's structured fit and crisp lines create a silhouette that flatters a variety of body shapes, making it an ideal addition to your wardrobe.

One of the most appealing aspects of today’s suits is their versatility. The tailored pant can be effortlessly paired with a casual tee or a stylish turtleneck for a relaxed weekend look, while the blazer can elevate a simple outfit, transforming it into something truly polished. Mixing and matching separates adds a layer of creativity to your wardrobe, allowing you to express your personal style while still exuding confidence.

The Tailored Shirt: Casual to Chic

The tailored shirt is a wardrobe hero, effortlessly bridging the gap between casual and chic. Inspired by its roots in menswear, this piece has been redefined to suit the modern woman’s wardrobe, offering a fresh, feminine silhouette that balances structure with softness. While classic button-down shirts are known for their straight lines and crisp appearance, what sets our tailored shirt apart is its subtle shaping through the waist. This thoughtful design detail accentuates the natural curves of the body, creating a flattering fit that maintains the sharpness of a traditional shirt but with a distinctly feminine touch. Available in five colours, our tailored shirt offers something for everyone. 

For those who favor a neutral palette, dark and light shades provide easy-to-style options that blend seamlessly into any wardrobe. If you’re looking to inject a pop of color into your closet, the blossom pink and lovely blue options add a playful twist to an otherwise classic silhouette.  The breathable cotton-rich fabric not only ensures comfort and resilience but also adds to the shirt’s longevity, making it an ideal investment piece that will stand the test of time.


The tailored shirt transcends trends, offering a foundation upon which you can build countless outfits, from casual days to more formal occasions. Simply put, it’s the ultimate staple for a well-rounded, sophisticated wardrobe.
