I Just Tried On Everything New at Reformation—Here's What's Worth Looking At

@LILYRUSSOBAH FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKMy Review: I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If you buy one denim piece this season, make it a denim maxi or midi skirt. This one is perfect. I usually struggle with pencil skirts, particularly in denim, as I have wide hips and a smaller waist, but this one fits like a glove.
Oddly, this is one of the pieces I'm investing in the most this season, as a luxe tank top really can make all the difference to an outfit and tie it all together.
A denim midi skirt can switch up your wardrobe favourites and give them a new-season feel. Wear with boots and a knit right now and a tank and stilettos when spring hits.

@LILYRUSSOBAH FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKMy Review: I am a dress girl through and through, but this top reminded me just how easy a great top and jeans can be. This off-the-shoulder bodice looks super effortless but has hidden corsetry, so there's no bra required. That's all I needed to know.
If you have read my previous try-ons, then you will know I often find it tricky to buy jeans, especially when shopping for classic straight-leg styles. Enter the Cynthias. Worn by A-listers from Gigi Hadid to Emily Ratajakowski, I felt these fit really well (I wore a size 31) and sat at the perfect part of my ankle.
This top is also available in black, but I was drawn to this playful rose print, which I feel is a perfect low-key date-night option.

@LILYRUSSOBAH FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKMy Review: Okay, wow. I was a little reluctant to try this on, as it doesn't really allow for a bra (I'm not so comfortable going braless after having my daughter), but it was one of the most flattering and timeless pieces in the store. From my experience, the design team at Reformation must have taken some time to perfect the fit of this dress. I've tried it on here in a print so you could see the shape in more detail, but it also comes in black and is at the top of my wish list.
Style tip: If you have a larger bust, you might want to wear a stick-on bra or boob tape, but trust me when I say it's worth the effort for this midi.
Anyone who knows me knows I'm a bit of a magpie and rarely buy understated shoes, but these were just too good not to include. I always find white (or off-white in this case) lifts an outfit compared to black or brown, and a pair of minimal sandals will give most outfits a contemporary feel.

@LILYRUSSOBAH FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKMy Review: If only I could tell you how much time I have spent searching for the perfect sweater this season, and this one is a strong contender. It has a really nice weight to it, wide structured cuffs, and just the right length to wear with jeans.
This soft shade of camel is easy to style all year round and is made of 100% traceable NATIVA™️ wool.

@LILYRUSSOBAH FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKMy Review: You can't beat a crisp white dress on a sunny day. And whilst it may not seem like it right now, spring (and the sun) is on its way. I layered it with one of Reformation's cashmere cardigans, and all that was missing were my sunnies and an Aperol.
It's been a while since I found a baby-doll dress I liked, but this one ticks all the boxes. It has adjustable straps and thick ruching around the bust to ensure it's 100% opaque.
This cardigan-and-vest co-ord is an investment, but spending on pieces that transcend trends and seasons is definitely one of the savviest ways to shop. I recently learned that global demand for cashmere has led to goats overgrazing in Mongolia turning grasslands into deserts, which is why Reformation set a goal to eliminate conventional cashmere in its supply chain by 2023. This set made of 90% recycled cashmere and has 87% less carbon impact than conventional varieties. Pretty neat.
Pale block-heel sandals are my go-to every spring/summer.

@LILYRUSSOBAH FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKMy Review: This blazer reminds me of one of my mother's suits from the late '90s in all the right ways! It is a super-easy piece to add to your wardrobe and will work hard for you. I like rolling up the sleeves to accentuate the slightly oversized shoulders.
As you can see here, the website image doesn't exactly sell it, but this blazer is now one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe.
Again, this is such a simple piece, but it's so easy to wear under blazers, maxi cardigans and relaxed shirts.

@LILYRUSSOBAH FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKMy Review: How to wear your white summer dresses before it's actually summer? Throw on a denim jacket and some black knee-high boots. (Oh, you might need some thermal tights, but no one will know!)
Reformation is as known for its silk dresses as it is for its linen ones, and there was so much to love about this dress. The square neckline is flattering on small and large busts alike, and the structured bodice is actually very comfy.
Denim jackets have gone to the extreme, so if you're buying one, make sure it's either super cropped or oversized like this one.
I searched high and low for the perfect black knee-high boots this winter, and I can confirm that these are hard to beat.
