The Tailored Transition.

Why it works

September asks you to look pulled-together at 9am and still survive a warm lunch, which is what a blazer over a plain tee and denim has always solved: sharp on top, easy underneath. The tee is the save, and it should be. Under an open blazer only the neckline and the shoulders show, so a good cotton crew does the same work as one costing four times more. The blazer and the loafers hold their shape all day, which is what earns them the budget.
