MY STYLE is classic with a twist. SS23 is about getting dressed up and going all out!
TRENDS I’LL BE ADOPTING THIS SEASON include straight-leg, loose-fit trousers, like these corduroy trousers from Prada. Forget what you thought about corduroy, this season it has a really modern feel. You’ll find similar styles across lots of different brands, including Prada and Gucci.
TRENDS I’LL BE DITCHING Skinny jeans!
MY TOP BUYS FOR SPRING include good trainers, especially Dior’s high-tops. For everyday, I’ll be investing in straightcut denim from 7 For All Mankind and Citizens of Humanity. Another essential for this season is a boxy jacket or oversized blazer. My favourite brands for tailoring include Givenchy and Saint Laurent. I’ll also be introducing pops of colour (orange, green and purple are big). I’ve bought Gucci’s tangerine palm tree cardigan and Loewe’s blue and white pinstriped shirt with signature leather patch.
BEST BIG BUY My reversible wool coat by Gucci. It’s unlined, with the GG logo repeated on the inside, so it’s essentially like two coats in one.
HIGH STREET HEROES Plain white T-shirts from Cos.
I FIND INSPIRATION from scrolling through Instagram. It’s particularly useful for discovering new colour pairings I might not have tried before.
STYLE ADVICE Find clothes that fit you properly and suit your shape.
