Saturday Market Run

Three colours: olive, indigo, white. It is the most common weekend outfit in the world and it is common because the proportions are almost impossible to get wrong.

The tee is the piece to be fussy about. A white tee that has gone grey drags everything above and below it down with it.

Why it works

• Olive and indigo are both muted, so neither one wins.
• White at the top and the bottom frames the outfit at both ends.
• Waxed cotton is the only outer layer here that improves with rain.

Swap it

Sand chukkas instead of sneakers and it holds up for lunch afterwards.
