Spring / Summer 2026 - Brussels
Score: confidence rating per combo - 90%+ signature, 80s solid, 70s good, 60s situational.
Quick rules: Brown leather sneakers = smart-casual default. Green Ecco = daily workhorse for casual and biking. Max 3 colours per outfit. Bold top = neutral bottom. No same-colour top + bottom. Jackets are your daily outer layer. Blazers for when you want to look sharper.
Spring/summer active pieces: polos, tees, light shirts (sleeves rolled), beige/olive/grey chinos, jeans, shorts. H&M navy linen or SS grey wool blazer. Revolution jackets for rain/temperature.
Shoe guide: Green Ecco = casual daily + biking (most comfortable, weather-proof). Brown leather sneakers = smart-casual default. Geox boat shoes = summer. Converse = weekend. Camper sandals = hot days.
Coral tee is near end of life - still wearable but not building new combos around it.
