8 Easy Holly Willoughby Outfits We Want to Copy ASAP
This Morning's Holly Willoughby might not be considered a directional fashion icon, particularly when you compare her outfits to those of Rihanna or Anna Dello Russo, but there's no denying her style prowess. Like most television personalities, she tends to favour cheery items with mass appeal over trend-led looks. However, ever since she wore a long-sleeved rainbow dress by London Fashion Week designer Ashish a few years ago, editors have been paying closer attention to what she wears in her daily outfit posts. Right now, we're all about Holly's spring-ready wardrobe.
We spoke to Willoughby's former stylist Angie Smith, who recently swapped Britain for the warmer climes of Australia, to find out her tips for making the most out of a high-street budget. "I think that certain brands excel in specific styles. For example, if I need a great cashmere jumper, I always go to John Lewis & Partners or M&S; for tailoring, LK Bennett and The Kooples; for coats and skirts, I go to Jigsaw; for dresses, Whistles; for skirts, H&M; and for shoes, Kurt Geiger. For everything else—and for one-off unexpected pieces—I regularly shop Massimo Dutti, Maje, Hobbs, Next, Warehouse, Russell & Bromley, and Office."

@hollywilloughbyAs for outfits that always work for Holly? "She has an amazing hourglass figure, so she suits fitted, tailored shapes," Smith shares. "All her looks have to work 360 because she never knows what she'll be doing that day." But Holly has to be careful about colours and prints, as Smith explains, "Stripes and checks can strobe on TV, so they're a big no, sadly. We both love colour, so I would always try to pack in as much as that as possible, as I think it really works for her."
While Holly regularly wears high-street pieces (she's just as much a lover of Zara as we are), she's also been branching out recently with different brands from the likes of Markus Lupfer, Ghost and Sandro.

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: Monochromatic dressing (wearing one colour top to toe) is a styling trick favoured by editors, influencers and, turns out, Holly Willoughby. We're partial to this cream look of hers, which is quick way to ensure you look chic.

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: One thing that's clear is that, just like us, Holly is partial to a great dress. With flowers blooming, our surroundings are become more colourful after months of grey, and just like Holly we plan to celebrate in an equally colourful dress.

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: Dresses are an integral part of Holly's workwear wardrobe, and this knitted style works for all seasons. Details like the asymmetric button fastening help to set it apart from the other styles on the market.
If in doubt, just add a pair of beige court shoes.

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: While you might not see Holly in jeans very often (at least, not when she's filming), denim isn't totally off-limits. In fact, she wears her collection of denim dresses regularly, striking a high/low outfit balance by pairing them with heels.
There's a western feel to this that is particularly cool.

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: Along with denim, another heavy fabric Holly likes to ground her outfits with is leather, often by way of a pair of culottes or a midi skirt. Then, simply soften the look with a chiffon blouse.
These also come in brown should they blend better with your existing palette.

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: For an easy spring look, follow Holly's league with a versatile co-ord. You instantly have a put-together look that looks incredibly chic, and can be divvied up into different outfit options.
Wear together, or separate the pieces for various outfit formulas.

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: When it comes to easy outfit pairings, it doesn't get much sleeker than a pair of black tailored trousers with an elevated top tucked in.
You'll find endless ways to style this, be it tucked into a skirt, jeans or, indeed, tailored trousers.

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: Like many of us, Holly can't resist the appeal of a pretty floral midi dress. Brands she relies on regular for hers include Ghost, Nobody's Child, and LoveShackFancy, the latter of which she's wearing here.
LoveShackFancy creates some of the best floral dresses out there.
As does Nobody's Child, especially if you're on a budget.

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: When she's not filming, it's likely that Holly Willoughby will be attending some glitzy industry events. For such occasions, she always gravitates towards classic dresses, such as this style from The Vampire's Wife.
Aspiga has a range of flounced, corduroy dresses to choose from, too.

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: Another dress brand we love is Ghost, which is always reliable for great dresses. Here's Holly wearing the prettiest green frock that's ideal for the festive season, no?

@hollywilloughbyStyle Notes: School uniform but make it fashion—Holly has jumped on the oversized-collar trend and paired it with a miniskirt and Mary Janes.
Style Notes: Here, Holly wears the colour-blocking look with a skirt from John Lewis & Partners that defies its £69 price tag. The green flowing asymmetric midi skirt also comes in navy. Holly paired it with an electric-blue cashmere roll-neck by Pure Cashmere and a pair of white pointed court shoes from Kurt Geiger.
