2 + 2: Ali Byrne On Forever Pieces And Festive Sparkle

Digital creator Ali Byrne shares the wardrobe staples she can’t live without, plus the metallic pieces she’s coveting for festive dressing …

A new season, particularly autumn winter, feels like a turning of the page. The kids go back to school, the leaves change colour, the weather becomes cosy: it’s a moment that cries out for a sartorial change in gear. And while it can be tempting to overhaul your wardrobe with a glut of new pieces, we’re more conscious of consumption than ever. Is it unrealistic to think we won’t buy anything new? Probably. In the spirit of balance, we’ve created a glossy new series 2+2; where style influencers share the pieces they’re investing in for autumn winter and the forever stalwarts they’ll be carrying over from previous seasons. Up this week, Ali Byrne (Instagram @ali123_) talks about her love of leather jackets and do-it-all flats, as well as the metallic pieces she’s coveting for her festive wardrobe.

“This year I will definitely be carrying over some staple pieces from last season’s wardrobe. I will be wearing my grey leather jacket on repeat. It’s from a beautiful Danish brand My Essential Wardrobe and I picked it up in Itso Me, a boutique in Cork.”

“I have been wearing mules and loafers all summer long and I’ll continue to wear them at every opportunity as they look so good with everything. I bought a Prada pair second hand from Luxury Exchange, but I also have a leopard print pair by Tim & Simonsen that I love.”

“One look I have been loving lately is the metallic trousers trend. It’s great because it can be styled different ways, something that’s important as we come into the festive season.”
