Airily utilitarian and casually uncomplicated, the coastal uniform – inspired by life on the water and the unpredictable ebbs of maritime weather – remains a stylistic mainstay. Transitional in nature, this blend of lightweight knitwear, breathable wovens and durable layering pieces allows for a protean look suitable for any adventure.

As travel becomes greater, and the world becomes smaller – and furthermore as awareness of our environmental impact widens – more focussed and versatile wardrobes are becoming essential. A focus on well-made gear in modern styles of premium natural materials, created with functionality in mind is key.
