For a prim and polished look, you can’t go wrong with a shirt tucked into a pleated skirt. To hit that smart-casual note, roll up the sleeves or opt for a short-sleeved shirt. Then add a pair of kitten-heel slingbacks, one of our key autumn pieces. 

Classic doesn’t have to mean simple. A shirt in a print or a different shape (like this wrap style) will have a place in your wardrobe for years to come – it’s your button-down with a twist. Always wear untucked and team with a pair of skinny cigarette pants to balance out the proportions.
