A striped desk-to-café outfit
A stripe and trainers make the navy separates feel relaxed enough for a creative workplace and an informal café meeting. The blazer carries the polished part of the combination.
The whole combination
- Navy-and-ivory striped T-shirt
- Navy straight chinos
- Navy unstructured blazer
- White flat trainers
Check it on you
Check workplace permission for trainers and visible prints. Leave the blazer open if buttoning changes how the T-shirt sits.
Make it work with what you own
Swap trainers for loafers for a more reserved office; retain the striped shirt as the only pattern.
Before you leave: test reaching, sitting and walking. Follow your own garment care labels. Weather suitability depends on the actual clothes and conditions; this look has no warmth or waterproof rating.
