There’s nothing better than asserting a new personal style to see in a new season. Be that adopting a striking scarf that ends up draped around your neck for most of winter, or a certain pair of shorts that you wear to death during the summer months, showing some individuality and setting yourself a fresh look will get you more attention, more style kudos and make you feel more like you’re progressing throughout the year.
So it may sound strange that today’s pick is taken straight out of Sir Plus’ Spring workwear range. But, although the Cocoa Brown Workman Jacket, in all its cotton twill glory, was launched in the early months of 2017, we think its the perfect late summer to Autumn transition piece.
Sir Plus, for those of you who haven’t come across the pioneering design house, were founded by Henry Hales, and source the best offcuts of quality fabrics from Britain to Italy before resurrecting them into sartorially-sound garments. From waistcoats and dressing gowns to pocket squares and scarves, Sir Plus does it all – and this jacket epitomises that simple, no-waste mantra.
Unlined, and made from the distinctive brown twill surplus fabric, the jacket has a pointed collar, patch pockets, an internal chest pocket and matching chalk buttons. Pair it with a simple cotton t-shirt to epitomise the worker spirit of the jacket, but also don’t be afraid to formal it up with a shirt and tie for that perfect smart casual look.
