Suranne Jones’s white jeans, oversized shirt and black mules is the smart-casual outfit I'm living in this autumn
These hardworking staples are all you need for a polished autumn look
Suranne Jones recently wore a smart-casual outfit that I'll be wearing on repeat during the cooler season. Combining white wide-leg jeans with a relaxed shirt and black mules, this look is polished and uncomplicated, making it the perfect formula to take you from daytime into the evening.
I love a white jeans outfit, and they look especially good in the colder season when paired with darker neutrals, from dark chocolate brown to black. Suranne's navy shirt creates an elevated contrast against her fresh white jeans, and her black accessories add even more depth.
Her oversized shirt is from the British clothing brand With Nothing Underneath, a brand known for beautifully cut shirts, and her wide-leg jeans are from Paige. She finishes the look with COS's black heeled mules, a Victoria Beckham tote, and sunglasses, adding even more polish.
And there's plenty more to look forward to from Suranne this autumn, she's set to return for the third season of Vigil on the 30th August.
Freshen up your shirt collection with this premium design. Made from lightweight organic cotton, it's a breathable choice. Style it with a piece from With Nothing Underneath's new denim collection.
These white jeans will add a premium feel to your autumn outfit ideas. Cut with a flattering wide-leg silhouette and an ankle-grazing hem, they have a relaxed yet polished feel.
These mules are the type of shoe that can elevate almost anything, from denim to tailoring. They are set on a chic kitten heel and have a slip-on design that makes them easy to wear.
Made from a fluid viscose and featuring an oversized silhouette, this shirt will work particularly well styled with straight-leg jeans. Wear it tucked into wide-leg styles or leave it loose for a relaxed finish.
The fresh white shade of these jeans makes them a good base for styling with autumn's darker shades, from pairing with a navy shirt to styling with dark brown knitwear.
With a roomy, slouchy shape and a practical shoulder strap, this is the kind of bag that you can get lots of use out of. Bring it to the office styled with tailoring, or take it on a weekend outing with laidback denim.
What stands out about a formula like this is how easy it is to put together in a hurry, yet how polished it feels. An oversized shirt immediately elevates laid-back denim, and the addition of kitten heels and some considered accessories truly transforms this simple formula. For bonus style points, try doing a half-tuck with your shirt and add a leather belt.
Although it's tempting to style your favourite jeans with your most comfortable trainers, Suranne proves that swapping them for more structured footwear can truly make all the difference. I would even go as far as wearing this combination for fancy dinner reservations, evenings out with friends and even the odd date night too. When temperatures cool, the best trench coat will complement this look.
