LEE 125 YEARS AW 14

Last year marked the centenary of Henry David Lee’s famous denim creation, Lee. But Henry David had already been feeding the cowboys, ranch hands, farmers and cattle drivers that would become the early adopters of his denim wear, since 1889 in fact, with his fine food business.

Boots to Brave the Cold

Dressing for in-between seasons is easy—layer on some timeless basics, add a few key statement pieces, and you’re good to go. But figuring out what to put on your feet? Not so simple. When sandals are too summery, heels are too fancy, and sneakers just won’t do, what’s a girl to wear? Look to cool boots to solve your footwear dilemma. From tall equestrian styles to wear-with-everything ankle booties, you’ll want a good pair—or two! Here, Mode’s collection of boots from labels I Love Billy, Silent D, Mollini and Emu. Shop here.

ESSENTIAL SHIRTING

Take cues from Wall Street – the androgynous allure of the shirt is fueling its revival. Adhere to crisp cotton and off-the-cuff cuts for business wear attire.

Both arty accents and graphic prints are big for men this season, and when done correctly can look really good. Typically New Zealand guys lean towards the monochromatic, but adding just one printed piece can add an interesting new dimension.

Winter Staple

The conventional Bomber Jacket, in all it’s varied forms, has been experiencing a fashionable renaissance. What began as an American varsity staple has reclaimed from the runway to chain-stores in recent years. From Statement leather-panelled sleeves to inky silk finishes, the right bomber can be layered to suit all seasons and will likely never cease its reign as a front running wardrobe staple.

BEST FOOT FORWARD

No matter where you winter—the best armor for the season is not an all-weather jacket, but the fully functional and supremely stylish boots and flats. With the ability to dramatically dress things up with just a detail (fur trim, python skin), toughen a look with studs and buckles, or work as a comfortable but chic alternative to an evening stiletto. From the eternally classic equestrian to flirty lace-ups, here are our picks from labels Silent D and Mollini. Shop here.
