Nili Lotan's tailoring runs slightly loose, and the Diane is cut that way — a classic constructed blazer in stretch wool twill, easy across the shoulder without losing its line. Flap pockets, a welt at the chest, and logo horn buttons at the front and cuff. Black, and straightforward enough to wear against almost anything.

Nili Lotan's Klaire is an oversized blouson in Italian heavy-weight sateen, a cotton with enough body to hold its shape. Brass snaps run down the front over a zip, with more at the cuff to draw the sleeve in, and an elasticated waistband gathers the hem. Slanted welt pockets sit at the hip. A deep shadow green.

Nili Lotan keeps her knitwear generous and undemonstrative. The Renata is a medium-weight pullover cut slightly oversized, with an opening at the neck, faux horn buttons, and fashioning worked along the shoulder and sleeve. Rib trims the neck, cuff and hem, and a cable runs down the centre back. Dark pine, deep and slightly warm.

Nili Lotan takes the Travis shirt from western workwear and leaves the attitude behind. Straight through the body in Japanese cotton chambray, with a pointed collar, pearl snap buttons and flap pockets at the chest. Light enough to wear open over a tee. Indigo, with the soft depth chambray gives.

Nili Lotan's Emelie is the plain long-sleeve top done properly: American cotton in a fine baby rib, cut slim to the body, with cover stitching at the hem and cuff. It holds its shape through the day and sits close without gripping. White, and meant for constant wear.

Nili Lotan works in the register of quiet American ease, and the Shon pant is that sensibility cut in Italian lambskin. The mid-rise sits close through the waist before the leg curves away, seamed at the knee and gusseted at the inseam. Fully lined, so the leather moves rather than holds. Black, and quietly substantial.

Nili Lotan translates a workwear line into something softer: virgin wool, a mid-rise, and a barrel leg that curves away from the knee before drawing back in. Seam detail at the knee and a gusset at the inseam keep the shape true. Hidden hook-and-bar and stay-button closures leave the front clean. Midnight, just off black.

Nili Lotan builds her denim around ease rather than attitude. The Arnaud sits high through the waist in non-stretch Japanese mid-weight denim, relaxed over the hip before opening out down the leg. Carpenter detailing runs through it — slant pockets, coin pocket, patch pockets at the back — over an elongated inseam that breaks fully on the shoe. Cream, so the construction shows.

Nili Lotan reaches back to the seventies for the Florence, a jean rooted in the line of a classic sailor pant. Premium Japanese stretch denim holds a mid-to-high rise, two flat pockets across the front and a leg that flares from the knee. The cut balances utility against something softer. Indigo rinse, deep and even.

The Shon is Nili Lotan's curved trouser: mid rise, relaxed, with a leg that bows out at the thigh and comes back in at the ankle. Pleats at the knee and a gusset at the inseam are what make the curve work, in a stretch corduroy cut with vintage workwear pockets. Stone is pale enough to show every one of those seams.

Nili Lotan's Florence sits high on the waist and flares from the knee, cut in a fine-wale corduroy with a little stretch worked in. Top-stitched patch pockets front and back, belt loops and a button fly keep it close to workwear. Dark charcoal reads as black until the wale catches light.
