Multifunctional off-duty looks are quickly becoming more of a necessity for our eclectic modern lifestyles. Gone are the days when we had the time to make multiple outfit changes for every instance; now, if it’s taking us to the post office, it better suit us for lunch too — not forgetting the mini workout booked for midday. Clothing that manages to hit the rare sweet spot of being both functional, fashionable and transitional is hard to come by, so we’ve rounded up 10 off-duty items that will instantly elevate your casual errand wear.

High Sport Knit Cropped Flared Pants
Made in Italy out of a unique French Lycra and Italian cotton-blend knit, the High Sport kick flares are the epitome of chic everyday clothing. Durable yet refined, they’re designed to withstand the most hectic days without compromising on style.
Ganni Cotton Cap
Red is still the colour of the moment. Wearing statement accessories in bold hues like this Ganni cap is the best way to upgrade a casual look.
Bite Studios Cotton-Jersey top
Worn by the likes of Hailey Bieber, this Bite Studios top promises high quality and uncompromising ease of wear. Slim fit, ribbed and 100% organic cotton — it's a perfect basic that will move with you through the day.
Isabel Marant Yenky Tote Bag
Easy to sling over your shoulder, soft and functionally spacious, I’d argue that a classic, well-structured tote bag is a staple add-on to the off-duty uniform. Elevate yours with trending denim shades seen in this Isabel Marant tote bag.
Miu Miu Tennis Skirt
The best thing about tennis-core is that it looks so good, while genuinely working as functional wear. This Miu Miu tennis skirt is more than meets the eye, with a contrasting knit logo and raw hem. Classic poplin pleats allow this skirt to remain fluid as you go through your day.

Dior M3U Sunglasses
The sharp metal frames and mirrored lenses of Dior’s M3U sunglasses will modernise any off-duty look. The angular silhouette adds a subtle, sporty element to functional casual attire.
Staud Estero Jacket
Staud’s Estero Jacket brings a clean element to off-duty wear. With dropped shoulders and distinct press-stud buttons, you’re sure to feel a little more elegant on your dog walk or rainy-day coffee run.
Reformation Olina Pants
Drawstring, loose-leg trousers are a non-negotiable when dressing off-duty. Reformation's Olina pants are sustainably made using deadstock fabric, designed with a relaxed fit throughout the leg, and bound to work with you under any circumstance.
Versace Mercury Sneakers
Dubbed by Versace as a future artefact, the Mercury sneaker merges artisanal craftsmanship with intricate design. Hand-knotted rope constructs are bonded with leather uppers, while Versace's M_VS_01 code is branded on the heel, adding a distinctive quality to the shoe. Lightweight Eva soles make the Versace Mercury sneakers a go-to for any off-duty uniform.
