And whether you opt for a
classic colour, like khaki or
navy, or something bolder, cotton suits offer an adaptability that wool can not: cotton lends itself well to spezzato — mismatching
trousers and blazers.

EN: If there is one outfit combination that I would consider as my «
classic uniform» then this is definitely a
navy - blue blazer with beige
trousers and a light - blue blouse.
While I admire the beachy styling here, for the office I'd probably stick with
classic shapes in
navy or beige — a sheath dress, a pencil skirt,
trousers.
The
navy Cora
trousers are a sporty take on a tailoring
classic, cut to sit slim through the leg and detailed with an elasticated waistband that gives them a youthful edge.
