“As a child of the ’80s, sartorial influences from the era are particularly resonating with me this season. Though shoulder pads might seem unusual, when subtly placed on a classic white T-shirt, they provide a flatteringly structured silhouette. The knot front is also perfect for wearing with high-waisted trousers.”

“Denim is playing a starring role in my autumn/winter wardrobe. With a high waist and relaxed-fit, these wide-legs are smarter than a boyfriend cut, yet still have the sense of ease I’m looking for. They’re versatile, too; pair with a T-shirt and sweater or dress up with a shirt and mules.”

“I like to wear sunglasses, even in the depths of winter when that low light can be surprisingly bright. I consider cat-eye the most versatile frame as it suits every face shape, and I love this clean, white hue, which will refresh last year’s knits and outerwear.”

“I never thought I’d wear a hoodie; however, I have fallen in love! I am elevating the casual style by layering it underneath a blazer for a smart/casual clash. This khaki iteration from Pangaia is made from environmentally friendly yarn and comes in sustainable packaging.”

“Black leather trousers are one of my winter staples. Adding luxe appeal to any outfit, I consider them a chic alternative to tracksuit bottoms and will wear them with chunky knits and flats.”

“Evoking an ’80s spirit, these cone-heel boots are the perfect length for tucking jeans inside. However, I could just as easily imagine wearing them with winter dresses and skirts. The grey colour is a softer alternative to black.”

“A giant tote is my hero bag shape for this season – just throw everything in and go! Bold yet understated, this blanket check makes a statement in a chic, quiet way.”

“I always reach for hats during the winter months and find them a more practical alternative to umbrellas. I particularly love the luxe appeal of this shearling bucket style.”

“Winter or summer, you will often find me in a jumpsuit. I find they need the least effort yet deliver the most impact. Corduroy is a classic winter-ready fabric, and the needle-fine rib on this version makes it all the more flattering.”

“A pair of ready-to-walk-anywhere boots is a must in my cold-weather collection. These lace-ups marry the function of hiking boots with the sleekness of city boots, meaning they can easily be dressed up or down for myriad occasions.”

“I always reach for chunky knits at this time of year and find a traditional cable-knit the most versatile. I’ll be teaming it with leather trousers and jeans or layering it under a blanket coat. The winter-white shade offers freshness.”

“I am forever losing my phone, so I’m a big fan of Anya Hindmarch’s chic pouch, which keeps it firmly stuck to my side. I really love the fact that it’s made from recycled fabrics, too.”
