TIMELESS STYLE: Wardrobe staples for everyone by fashion stylist Arabella Greenhill
The wheel is not reinvented when we say that a blazer is indispensable in your wardrobe. But it’s a hard-working, timeless piece that will renew everything. Plus, the options are endless – from oversized to fitted, from linen to leather and a whole range of colours. This is my favorite way to style it…
Earrings £19.99, pilgrim.net. Necklace, £100, jigsaw-online.com. Bag, £35.99, shop.mango.com
BLOWER
Linen blazers are light and allow for layering underneath. Look for a linen blend if you want to avoid wrinkling. Blazer, £89.99, shop.mango.com
JEANS
Cropped wide-leg jeans keep it casual. If you’re looking for an evening blazer look and don’t fancy a suit, a high-waisted bootleg style adds some glam. Jeans, £90, jigsaw-online.com
T-SHIRT
A basic t-shirt is the perfect canvas and pairs well with blazers of all styles. Quality T-shirts made of thick cotton fit nicely at the neckline and do not warp when washed. T-shirt, £8.50, marksandspencer.com
SHOES
Use accessories to emphasize the mood of your look. Gold detailing on sandals pairs well with jewelery and adds smart, on-trend touches to an otherwise timeless look. Sandals, £140, jigsaw-online.com
