Mastering the Art: Trainers and Trousers

Stuff I Like: Topman Grey Checked Suit

Update your suit collection with this checkered beauty from Topman. Add a roll neck and some loafers for a fantastic weekend outfit. Topman, £175.

The Look: Smart Casual

1. Brioni brushed cotton trousers, Mr Porter, £295 | 2. White crew neck t-shirt, Topman, £7 | 3. Nike Lunar trainers, endclothing, £89 |

One of my favourite looks this season is definitely 'smart casual'. On paper, trainers with trousers shouldn't work, but, it actually really does. For a great summer outfit, I say pair some on-trend Nike Lunar sneakers with trousers and a plain white tee.
