Our cultural marketing coordinator Babatunde knows best when it comes to which style of stripes to go for – he takes the traditional Breton navy-and-white stripes route but goes for a vertical-print shacket to give his outfit a 70s dadcore touch.
He teams his piece of old-school-flavoured kit with a bold logo-print adidas T-shirt and continues to rep the label with his socks and his shorts. In an ultimate salute to The Brand With The Three Stripes, he finishes off his look with a pair of sneakerhead-savvy Yeezy creps.
Here, our junior editor Warren is giving off serious Shaggy from Scooby-Doo vibes with his ensemble. On his top half, he opts for a longline striped top in orange for a bit of funky 60s flair and pairs it with roll-cuffed corduroy trousers on his bottom half.
Another fierce supporter of adidas, Warren dons the brand’s iconic Gazelle trainers – a silhouette first launched at the end of the 60s – to complement his throwback threads.
If casual cuts with a streetwear edge is the aesthetic you’re hoping to nail, our artworker Nawal has got the look down to a tee. He keeps his style breezy with a short-sleeved grey-marl shirt but injects some character with his choice of navy striped trousers.
Resisting the urge to pop on a pair of socks, Nawal flexes in his dad-approved sandals with finesse. And to cap it all off, he throws in the ultimate road-ready accessory – a cross-body flight bag in a contrasting khaki hue.
It’s a given that when summer rocks around you’re bound to spend plenty of time chilling at the park or frittering the day away at the pub. Want a getup that’s suitable for both? Well, our fashion editor Ben has got you sorted.
