5 Ways To Wear Wool
Wool gets sold short.
Far from Sunday sofa territory, this cosy cloth does not equal bulky hand-me-downs. Spun into skirts, suits, tailored trousers, cardigans, coats and crewnecks – wool is not just something to drag out when it’s cold; it does slim-fit and chic for elevated evenings out. Oversized, it turns a cosy look cool. And if you thought it couldn’t do smart, you haven’t seen it tailored.
Earning its place in any capsule wardrobe, wool always works.
Here’s how:
1. FOR THE OFFICE
Pull on a wide-leg wool trouser and team it with a classic crewneck. In the throes of winter, we’d reach for an even cosier yak wool in a sleek close-cut shape. Stack the knits with an oversized blazer thrown on top. Then, leave the wool behind at your feet.

2. AT AFTER-WORK DRINKS
Slim-fit cigarettes play off the proportions of an oversized knit and blazer. The tailored line cuts through the volume up top to balance out the sharp and slouch for a low-key polish.
3. TO SOMETHING SWANKY
Try a traditional tux jacket, but cropped to do things differently. Pull on some straight-leg cigarettes to keep the outline razor sharp. Underneath, a fluid silk shirt adds late-night movement. To finish, a simple slingback would elevate the look without taking things too hardcore.
4. ON WEEKEND RETREATS
Statement knits are easy to style because they steal the spotlight all by themselves. Classic cables and Fair Isles throw on well with a boxer short and crew sock for doing nothing in particular. Bundle all the essentials into an oversized tote to venture outside.
5. WHEN EVERYTHING’S TBC
A tailored wool trouser is where we’d start – in a dark neutral for easy day-to-night dressing. (Navy is the ultimate shade for this.) Tuck in a plain white tee and throw over a cardigan (also navy). Leave it loose for casual outings. Or button it up for an elevated monochrome look. A good coat pulls the whole thing together so effortlessly.
