Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right size when shopping online?
Always consult each brand’s sizing chart—measure your chest, waist, and hips, then match your dimensions to the provided recommendations.
Are cargo trousers appropriate for a smart-casual office?
When they feature a slim cut and are paired with a tucked-in shirt and loafers, they strike the perfect balance between relaxed and refined.
How should I care for suede loafers?
Brush gently with a soft suede brush, apply a plant-based waterproofing spray, and air-dry away from heat.
Can I machine-wash these shirts and shorts?
Most cotton and cotton-blend items can be washed on a gentle 30 °C cycle—always check the care label.
What accessories pair well with these basics?
Add a woven belt, a lightweight scarf, or a canvas tote to personalize each look without adding bulk.
