One Piece, Three Ways:
The Double-Breasted Blazer
It’s the closest thing to a uniform for people who don’t like uniforms: an impeccably cut all-purpose blazer. Factor in razor-sharp lapels, a houndstooth so dapper it was named after a Prince of Wales, and a Bond-like ability to segue between business and black tie—and suiting up for fall just made it a lot easier to say goodbye to summer.
Neutral Territory
When keeping things in the muted color family, a subdued, tucked-in tank and olive bottoms set the tone. Monochrome mules—statement-making but not loud—keep all the elements down-to-earth.
