There are few things that dissipate summer spirit like relegating your fuss-free neutrals, or luxury layers, to the back of your closet to make room for practical wear. No matter how much you might love a wear-anywhere blazer, the pandemic has made room for the cosy staples with a sharp twist. So rest assured, there are plenty of ways to enliven a work-from-home moment – see, for example, Marni’s  hooded sweatshirts, a Tagliatore jacket or a flashy 1 Moncler x JW Anderson jumper which brightens up even the dullest tracksuit pairing. If you’re trying to smarten-up the cosy spirit, a Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini cardigan worn with Vien pants will be your WFH winning formula. But the easiest way to feel fabulous mid-summer? Team everyday staples with feel-good, weather-appropriate layers. You’re welcome.
