If your outfit happens to chime well with your Christmas tree then that is the kind of happy accident we can get on board with in December. We can’t think of a better loungewear piece than this pure linen blouse in poppy red pictured by Kindred of Ireland.
A sheer mesh skirt and a boxy blazer are a chic combination we can’t wait to try when dressing up over the next few weeks. Look to brands like The Frankie Shop and COS for oversized jackets with sloped shoulders like this one. As for the perfect party bag, shop our edit of favourites here.
Revamp a favourite black dress – or any outfit you might be re-wearing – with accessories. A hairband feels very now: go classic with a thick black in satin finish. Or, for daywear, we favour a wide tortoisehell band in a nod to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.
A bodysuit is the perfect layering tool for this time of year: we love how it’s styled here underneath a slubby cable knit, but equally it looks effortlessly elegant worn with a pair of high-waisted jeans.
It’s worth noting that leather trousers needn’t be skinny. The look now is less of a nod to Kate Moss in leather, or faux leather, leggings, it’s about embracing a wide leg which gives a polished but cool appearance. Pair with ankle boots that have a pointed toe.
A cropped velvet jacket is the ideal styling tool this time of year – not only is it warming, it imbues any outfit with a dose of decadent texture. Layer it over your favourite dress for a fancy lunch or winter wedding.
A baroque pearl bracelet? The perfect wish list item, if you ask us. This one is by Irish jeweller Helena Malone, get it at Havana.
Red knit? Great jeans? Do-it-all leather crossbody bag? We could live in this perfect off-for-coffee look for the forseeable.
Tailoring that goes above and beyond: we love the embellishment and waisted detailing on this Erdem blazer (read about our favourite blazer trend of the season here). When paired with jeans, it’s the perfect dressy-but-not-too-dressy outfit.
