Since it first appeared during polo matches many lifetimes ago, the polo shirt has been on a roll. From the days of tennis whites to the 70’s knitted and striped iterations to boxy cuts made famous on the golf course, as a timeless staple it’s never really gone out of style but now, in 2023, it’s riding a new wave as key trends make it a fashion choice for work and leisure.

Black and white will never go out of style, but this year bold, bright and statement colours are on the rise. Matched with the right key pieces, stand-out shades elevate the classic polo to new heights of style at work and smart casual leisure looks. Give your polo collection a positive twist by adding this year’s colours.

What’s the secret to effortless all-season styling in 2023? The answer lies in layering – select your favourite short-or long-sleeved polo shirt and sweatshirt or jacket so you can transition from outdoors to the office or home without sacrificing chic style. Or wear your short-sleeved style over your long-sleeved polo to create a colour contrasted street style look. Layering is a timeless styling technique that’s making a comeback, it’s a great way to create a versatile wardrobe. Mix it up and choose your key pieces for any occasion to dress your outfit up or down.

Wherever your wear it, keep your polo shirt look stylish but relaxed by choosing the right fit. With less emphasis on fitted silhouettes and the continued trend for polo shirts not to be tucked-in, a classic more comfortable shape is trending. With room to move and breathe and more adaptable to any silhouette, don’t be afraid to go oversize.

From Lacoste to Ralph Lauren, the graphic polo shirt is integral to most polo shirt collections in 2023. Bold prints and bright colours come together to create statement pieces which challenge the traditional graphic t-shirt. More stylish and versatile, the polo shirt can also be fun and youthful with the right design.

It’s on everyone’s mind, staying fashionable with consideration for people and planet. Stay one step ahead by choosing your favourite polo shirt from a collection which not only includes styles made from more sustainable fabrics but is also from a brand that puts sustainability at the heart of its business.

Since its early days in the 1980s, when streetwear first originated from hip-hop and skate culture, this casual style has evolved from subculture to mainstream fashion.  The skater generation has grown-up, and their style has come of age!

No longer limited to youth, streetwear has found its adult form, with grown up interpretations which are gender-and ageless making their way from the street to the workplace.  But if there’s no age cut-off for wearing streetwear making it work as an adult requires a delicate balance between sophistication and urban style.

To pull off a more mature look it’s essential to focus on fit, quality and minimalism. Streetwear styles in good fabrics with the right cut and subtle prints will ensure the look stays stylish, suitably ‘under the radar’. The trick is to create a more refined ‘jeans and sweatshirt’ look, one that comfortably reflects everyday style.  Tailored and streamlined versions of pieces such as distressed denim, hooded sweatshirts and graphic tees will bring street style to any grown-up wardrobe, avoiding the teenager look.

If streetwear’s casual and relaxed vibe may not be appropriate for all professional environments, it is increasingly finding it’s place in more casual work settings. Social media has played a significant role in increasing the acceptability of streetwear fashion across a range of areas by allowing influencers to showcase the style to a broader audience. Coupled with the rise of athleisure and the growing acceptance of casual dress in the workplace, streetwear’s mainstream appeal is still growing, and so is its relevance as part of professional wear.

In the right workplace setting incorporating streetwear items like hoodies and graphic tees into uniforms and team wear will help create a more relaxed look which can comfortably be worn by staff of all ages and any gender. Comfortable and contemporary, but stylish too.

Sweatshirts, and notably hoodies, are a staple piece in streetwear fashion and they play a crucial role in more grown-up streetwear too. A well-made sweatshirt can add a touch of sophistication to an otherwise casual outfit, making it a cornerstone of a more casual uniform.  Pairing a well-fitted sweatshirt with tailored trousers and sneakers will create a sleek and stylish look that is perfect for a going to work, a casual night-out and running errands at the weekend.

Another way to elevate a hoodie into a grown-up streetwear piece is to layer it with other clothing items. For example, wear a hoodie under a leather jacket or blazer and it to create a sleek and stylish outfit. Choosing the right colour is also key. Neutral colours like black, grey or navy with muted prints will be more sophisticated while brighter colours and bolder prints will create a more playful and edgy look.

With 6 lines, 20 styles, 61 colours and a range of fits, fabrics and sizes, there is sure to be a B&C sweatshirt style to meet your grown-up streetwear need, whether it’s for work or leisure.

The last few years have seen the rise of Oversized Sweatshirts being worn on the street, at the office and even on the red carpet! This is one on-trend style that’s quickly become a staple in every wardrobe thanks to its comfortable and relaxed fit and its versatility.

Your favourite oversize sweat is not just for lounging around the house anymore. Since many high-end fashion brands have jumped on board producing their own premium versions, oversized sweatshirts are being dressed up (or down) to create unique looks.  Paired with fashionable cropped skinny jeans and heels for perfect French Girl style, or baggy pants and sneakers for real street cred. From cover-up to statement piece, the oversized sweatshirt has made its mark across the fashion spectrum.

Coordinating a look isn’t just about colour. Fabric and volume also have a role to play. Pairing your oversize sweatshirt with fitted pieces adds an extra dimension in which to mix and match, creating more unique looks by adding volume to the equation.

Or think about layering. It’s a problem when you only consider fitted styles, but add an oversize into the mix and you immediately create more options, keeping your silhouette clean, with no unsightly bumps or uncomfortable bunching.
