How we’d wear them… With a crisp white shirt and loafers for understated polish, a washed graphic tee and trainers for effortless weekends, or a black cashmere knit and gold jewellery for a simple monochrome look. We’d finish with a great belt and let the denim do what great denim always does. Care Machine wash inside out on a cool cycle with similar dark colours. Wash only when needed to help preserve the colour and shape. Line dry naturally and avoid tumble drying. Over time, they’ll soften beautifully while keeping their character.
