The Jacket

Ami Natural Four-Pocket Parka Jacket

Global warming likes to play havoc with your wardrobe. So arm yourself with between-season pieces – like this cropped military jacket from Parisian label Ami – to make sure you’re prepared for whatever mother nature throws at you. Cut to a slightly cropped fit, and constructed from lightweight cotton-canvas, it’s made for layering – whether over a white tee when the sun’s out, or slipped under something thicker to beat unseasonal chills. Was £300. Now £225.

The Sweatshirt

Puma x Stampd Grey Sweatshirt

Yet to earn your athleisure stripes? Nail the trend straight off the mark with this sleek sweatshirt, one of the standout pieces from Puma’s recent hook-up with LA streetwear label Stampd. As good a fit for dinner as lugging dumbbells, this sweat features ribbing details at the shoulders and arms which elevate it above your bog-standard gym bag kit. Props. Was £89. Now £66.75.

The T-shirt

Comme des Garçons Shirt Striped Cotton Boy T-shirt

A warm-weather perennial, the Breton tee is ideal for those of us who can’t help but wince at most of the (garish) prints that flood stores come summer. This one – from offbeat Japanese brand Comme des Garçons – is a refreshingly simple take from a label whose tangle of sub-brands seems to grow increasingly complex. (There are reputedly 20, though we’ve lost count.) Give it the Riviera treatment with a linen blazer and some lightweight chinos, or sub it in for a plain white tee worn with jeans to tap that off-duty Gallic vibe. Was £69. Now £51.75.

The Jeans

Levi’s Vintage Clothing Hank 1969 606 Jeans

When it comes to denim, accept no imitation. As the workhorse of your wardrobe, your jeans should come from a leading name if you want them to last. These 606 jeans from the daddy of denim, Levi’s, are every stitch the real deal. Cut to the same specifications as their 1969 counterparts, they’re slim but not skinny, offering you a tapered fit that’s smart but stops short of crotch-squashing. Was £159. Now £119.25.
