Joseph

JOSEPH is a label close to our hearts, and our ethos, here at Wardrobe ICONS. The concept of investing in quality pieces that aren’t just designed to last a season, but rather embrace longevity, is exactly why we always find something we love in JOSEPH. The leather leggings are a saviour in our wardrobes that we pretty much live in from October right through to February – they never fail to pull us out of a style rut. Throw them on with an oversized cashmere jumper or a white shirt and some heels and you feel instantly dressed up. Taking everyday clothes like this and giving them a special quality makes the brand, in Creative Director Louise Trotter’s words, ‘a collection that liberates’. To know that all the separates in your wardrobe go together like a magical puzzle suddenly makes life a lot easier. Put it this way, if we all had a wardrobe full of JOSEPH, we’d never feel we had nothing to wear.

I’ve tried lots of different leather leggings from various brands, and these JOSEPH ones are by far the most comfortable and flattering. I actually look forward to winter and the colder weather just so I can wear them – I think they’re my most versatile and most worn winter basic
