The essence of a low-key luxury look lies in an arsenal of timeless basics. So, when it comes to the building blocks of your wardrobe, opt for well-designed pieces characterised by minimal embellishments. Kingsley assures that these foundational pieces mean “you don't have to think too much about styling." Whether it's a classic white button-down shirt with oversized cuffs, or a spring-ready denim midi skirt with a touch of fringing, these pieces effortlessly assert their place in your collection, offering undeniable casual luxe appeal, longevity and versatility.

In the realm of casual luxury, adopting a less rigid approach to tailoring is paramount. “It doesn't have to be overly fitted,” says Kingsley, favouring suiting with a softer, more draped fit. When done right, it should feel effortless. Think generously cut separates, like loose-fitting trousers with a drawcord waist or an unstructured blazer, to create silhouettes that exude elegance. These pieces offer an easy yet sophisticated approach, to elevate your looks for leisurely moments this spring.

Tonal dressing stands as a cornerstone of casual luxury, according to Kingsley. Elevating a relaxed silhouette, he suggests involves “playing with different pieces of a similar tone.” From classic all-white looks to peachy sets to embracing beige from head to toe – tonal dressing offers a refreshing way to pair your spring favourites. Easy on the eyes, this minimal palette instantly delivers a polished and pulled-together style, earning high praise from Kingsley: “It’s incredibly chic,” he says.

Take a cue from the high-low approach, a style philosophy that skilfully blends statement and casual pieces. Consider pairing refined separates, such as a polo shirt and relaxed-fit trousers, with sportier elements such as a varsity-style jacket and retro-inspired sneakers. “I really like this relaxed silhouette,” notes Kingsley, “it almost feels like fashionable pyjamas.” Make it your go-to look this spring – perfect for brunch with friends, a weekend getaway or even the office.

For your accessories, set aside maximalist pieces and lean towards timeless options to refine and perfect your look. This season's minimalist bags, ranging from neat cross-bodies to hobo-style shoulder bags and oversized totes, emphasise quality and design – speaking to the sophisticated simplicity that defines the casual luxe trend. It’s anything but predictable: try catwalk-inspired colourways – “consider porcelain white or cherry red,” Kingsley suggests – to elevate your look for spring.
