The two colours
What tan and white each bring
A signature pairing. Light and warm-weather fresh.
tan
A light, warm brown, the colour of natural leather. Relaxed and summery, it's the most casual of the browns.
Works best as: Shoes, belts, bags and sandals.
white
Crisp, clean and bright. It lifts darker pieces and reads fresh in summer; in winter it looks most intentional as a knit or a coat.
Works best as: Shirts, tees and sneakers near every outfit; white trousers are a stronger summer statement.
