Dress down with a t-shirt. You can’t beat a plain white crew neck, but we’ve decided to up the style ante with a salmon pink Henley tee by Crossley via YOOX.com Price was £44, now £37.

This style of t-shirt started a sleepy life as an under vest in the 1800s so it definitely fits the dress down bill. However, from 1839, it flexed its muscles as Henley rowers began to wear them as part of their uniform for the Henley Regatta due to the increased ventilation it gave from the placket and lack of collar. It proudly adopted the name as the Henley. Here it stayed in the sports world until 1970s when a buyer from Ralph Lauren recognised its potential as a new t-shirt style for casual wear.

Flash that dapper flair with a colourful silk pocket square. Geoff Stocker’s Tumbling Rhombus is digitally printed on 100% satin silk and has a hand rolled hem. Price £45.

Although a bracelet can be worn for both dressed up and dressed down styles, we’ve added this to our casual side. Chill out with the Lotus bracelet by OMMO Bracelets via Etsy Was £101, now £75.75. The lapis lazuli beads help reduce anger, and are the symbol of wisdom and truth, whilst the green malachite beads help correct emotional imbalance, and promote the development of new ideas. Handmade in England with 925 sterling silver.

Step up the debonair look with a pair of loafers, with or without socks.

Run with the dress down look in a pair of trainers such as Van’s Old Skool via YOOX.com in dark green. Price £49. This classic skate shoe was the first to bare the iconic side stripe. Made from canvas and suede.
