501® Originals

With the straight legs, the ultra comfy fit and the iconic button fly, it’s no wonder the 501s have never gone out of style. From rock stars to activists, farmers to movie stars, the 501s have been a wardrobe staple for everyone and every occasion. Night out? We love the look of a crisp, vibrant shirt, half-tucked for a dash of dapper, for men and a fun,
figure flattering top for women, paired with strappy heels or booties. Casual day? T-shirt and your favourite sneakers is a fit that never misses. French tuck the tee, let it hang loose or you could even knot it at the front. Heading to work? Pick the dark rinse 501s, pair them with a structured shirt, sharp blazer and sleek loafers. Trust us, the 501s can do

XX Chinos

Our XX Chinos are the perfect blend of formal yet relaxed–they’re everyday pants that will always have you ready for whatever the day brings. For a truly versatile chinos fit, pair the XX Slim Tapered Fit Chinos with a fitted button down shirt–vertical stripes never fail –a vintage trucker jacket and sneakers. Elevate this look for date night by swapping the
trucker jacket for a signature blazer, the sneakers for elegant loafers and accessorize it with a nice watch. Dress down with the XX Chino Ez-Waist Taper–a roomier, relaxed fit- with a vintage tee or open collared shirt that lets everyone know you’re as breezy as they come..

Graphic Tees

Classic, comfy and full of character, our graphic tees will always have you looking on trend however you choose to style them. For a chill day, pick a relaxed fit graphic tee to pair with shorts or joggers or baggy jeans. Complete the laid back look with sandals and a bucket hat. If you’re stepping out for the night, turn your fit all the way up with slim fit
jeans–white if you’re really feeling it–and a fitted tee. Women, you can also opt for a cropped graphic tee and combine it with a bold blazer, chic stilettos and shades. Men, if jeans isn’t the vibe, there’s always chinos. Throw on a slick bomber jacket, smart dress shoes and a sharp belt to elevate the look

Signature Shirts

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again, shirts are timeless essentials. There’s no mood the right shirt can’t match. Pair a simple, no frills shirt with straight jeans or chinos and basic trainers and you have a look for both work and a casual hang. Opt for a fun print or
vibrant coloured button down with a basic tee, ditch the jeans for shorts (we really like the pastel coloured ones) and you’re ready for brunch or even the beach. Go denim on denim with a sleek denim shirt and tapered jeans with white sneakers or for her, instead of jeans, a denim skirt (we love a no-fuss A-line) with bright heels and you’re ready to paint the town red.

Staple Shorts

It’s a no-brainer why shorts are a must-have: they’re comfy, they’re playful, they’re a one-garment-fits-all. Craft the ideal casual aesthetic with a loose tee French-tucked into one of our relaxed fit shorts and layer with a light linen button down. For an easy finishing touch, slip into sandals or flip flops and a baseball hat. Men, celebrate brunch in our 502™
Tapered Fit Shorts or 502™ True Chino Shorts (choose from classic colours and fresh prints) paired with a streamlined shirt. Women, girl’s night out is better in a bright-coloured, dramatic-collared shirt half-tucked into our 501® Original High Rise Jean Shortsand tie the look together with a bold belt and bolder accessories..

Shop these essentials for an elevated wardrobe and you’ll never go out of style.
