WHO WHAT WEARStyle Notes: For the days you need to get ready in a hurry, this comfy combo tops the list.

WHO WHAT WEARStyle Notes: Is there a better transitional outfit than the trench + midi skirt + knee-high boots? I don't think so. Warm enough for chilly spells but light enough layers for a busy commute, it's the easiest way to do practical with polish.
Chocolate brown has a habit of making any colour it's paired with feel immediately more refined.
Stocking up premium basics to start a capsule wardrobe? You'll need Commando's high-quality, superb fit for staples you can count on.

WHO WHAT WEARStyle Notes: If you're heading out, be sure to wrap up in cosy layers that make cold-weather outings feel fun. Part gorpcore, part London uniform, the leggings + zip-up jumper look is an easy option for the days you want look good while putting in the least effort possible.
Trust Marks and Spencer to make one of the few trench coats on the market with a practical hood.
You can't beat a pair of black leggings for comfort and style on the go.
Finding these in black and in stock is nothing short of a miracle, so consider this your sign to make the purchase you were thinking about.

WHO WHAT WEARStyle Notes: Et voilà, a look straight from the streets of Paris. If you were to ask French influencers for their hero buys, there would be a bouclé jacket and a Chanel bag in the mix, but there would also undoubtedly be a trench, miniskirt, cardigan and Mary Janes on the list too. C'est chic, non?
The same cardigan you'll wear under coats in winter and over dresses in spring.
Take tips from French styling, and pair a miniskirt with socks or opaque tights and Mary Jane shoes.
After being loyal to loafers, I'm now branching out to Mary Janes as a smart shoe alternative.
Of all the bag trends that matter this year, the XXL slouchy bag is easily the best (and most practical).
