" When it comes to dressing well, you should never forget the classics - a rule that applies not only\u00A0to\u00A0individual items but\u00A0pairings, too. Here, then, is a list of some of style&amp;#039;s oldest and happiest marriages. They&amp;#039;re solid as a rock, and they&amp;#039;ll be around forever.\u00A0\u00A0 1 | Peacoat and roll\u00A0neck  While a roll\u00A0neck worn solo (with trousers, obviously) is a polarising menswear move, the addition of a peacoat as a top layer takes it from failed artist territory to sharp ensemble instantly.\u00A0 Opt for a black or charcoal roll neck in cashmere or merino wool\u00A0with a navy peacoat on top and you&amp;#039;re on to an alternative cold weather winner.\u00A0 2 | Dark suit and\u00A0&amp;#039;air&amp;#039; tie  The trouble with wearing a\u00A0navy suit\u00A0away from the office\u00A0is that it&amp;#039;s very, very easy to look like you&amp;#039;re still heading to the boardroom or about to file someone&amp;#039;s taxes, which is obviously not what we&amp;#039;re going for. Our\u00A0always solid solution is the &amp;#039;air&amp;#039; tie, as in no tie at all, but\u00A0with your shirt fully buttoned. You keep your look smart, while attaining\u00A0an air of out of office cool.\u00A0 Bear in mind this works best when your suit is cut slim with narrow lapels. 3 | Plain white t-shirt and black jeans  As we&amp;#039;ve mentioned before, sometimes dressing well is as simple as an inexpensive white t-shirt and a carefree attitude.\u00A0But add in a pair of slim-fit black jeans and\u00A0then you&amp;#039;ve really got yourself a classic look.\u00A0 4 | Navy blazer and grey wool trousers  A navy blazer\u00A0is a staple that should hang\u00A0in every man&amp;#039;s wardrobe and one that\u00A0will become your most versatile go-to now that autumn has begun.\u00A0 When it comes to your lower half you can never go wrong with\u00A0a pair of flat-front trousers in a heavy, dark grey wool\u00A0which, unlike black or navy, will compliment the blazer instead of clashing or matching too much. 5 | Light-coloured suit and loafers  While derbies and brogues are all well and good with dark tailoring during colder months, when the weather is warmer and -\u00A0inevitably -\u00A0the fabric and colour of your suit is lighter, you&amp;#039;re going to want to choose a more\u00A0subtle pair of shoes to match. While trainers are great with relaxed suiting, the original and most reliable\u00A0companion\u00A0is the penny loafer, prefarably worn without socks if you\u00A0want that Italian &amp;#039;sprezzatura&amp;#039; look. And, let&amp;#039;s be honest, who doesn&amp;#039;t? 6 | Leather jacket and black boots   We&amp;#039;ve already debated the relative pros and cons of leather jacket ownership, but if you are ready to take the plunge, then\u00A0what you wear with your new statement piece is of particular importance. Black jeans and unbranded\u00A0t-shirts are a given, but when it comes to your footwear look no further than pair of black leather boots with a chunky commando sole.\u00A0 7 | Double-breasted blazer and a t-shirt  While it may have come back into vogue\u00A0of late, the double-breasted blazer is still one of the trickier suit styles to wear day-to-day, due its formal and slightly over the top\u00A0appearance. This is where the humble t-shirt comes in. It adds a casual\u00A0element to the outfit without looking sloppy -\u00A0in fact,\u00A0we&amp;#039;d argue that there&amp;#039;s no better way to style it. A navy DB suit with a black or off-white\u00A0t-shirt worn underneath is a thing of understated\u00A0beauty.\u00A0 8 | Overcoat and\u00A0knitwear\u00A0  One of the best things about the end\u00A0of summer is the chance to dust off the\u00A0heavy wool coat and venture out into the elements\u00A0...or to the pub at least. And while the Scandinavians may have shown us that your signature Power Coat can be worn with pretty much everything and anything, the ultimate under\u00A0layer is still a dark piece of knitwear in either a fine merino or thick ribbed wool.\u00A0     "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
