How To Nail Utility Dressing

Utility dressing refers to practical, functional clothing that prioritises ease of wear. Traditionally, it features neutral colours and functional details such as extra pockets, zippers, hoods, and buttons. However, the modern take on utility dressing blends classic workwear elements with updated silhouettes and contemporary colours, creating a stylish yet simple aesthetic.

Think Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Moss in the 90s and you get the drift. This style of dressing appeals to me because the focus is often on fabrication, fit and ease of wear above all else — there’s no room for fuss — and it always guarantees you’ll look polished without being overdone.
