Pair forever-faves with bold new pieces for the ultimate blend of then and now. A double-denim look keeps it casual while a tailored blazer and sleek leather belt add an instant update. As for gingham, bring the preppy pattern into 2021 with a coat featuring checked cuffs and collar.

When it comes to prep, you can’t go wrong with monochrome. Take your usual cable knit and wrap it nonchalantly around your shoulders, pairing it with a matching knit tank and a bold version of pleated khaki trousers. And primary red on red is always a good idea (those pleats!), especially when paired with structured designer accessories like an oversized tote and smart loafers.

For the gents, a tailored blazer/polo shirt/chinos uniform is a foolproof and modern update on prep for the man in your life. For the kiddos, an easy printed dress-and-sneaker combo will keep your mini-me ready for days on the go – or for when you’re chasing after them.
