CREATE A CAPSULE WARDROBE
Presenting our new season power list: five staples that work effortlessly together – and with anything else in your closet to provide endless outfit options, says womenswear editor Charlene Barton
The timeless trench
A solid investment for every woman. Why? It never loses its appeal, it’s been worn by almost every fashion icon in history, and you can wear it with everything from denim and leather trousers to your sharpest work suit.
The perfect-fit jeans
Buying denim is no easy feat. With myriad shapes to choose from, do you play it safe or follow the trends? Here’s a happy compromise: the new straight-leg jeans. For a fresh spin, turn up two-inch cuffs and pair with a casually undone white shirt.
The bucket bag
A new shape for the new season, this soft faux-leather design guarantees instant style points. Striking the perfect work/weekend balance, if you only buy one accessory for autumn, make this it.
The white shirt
A perennial classic, it goes without saying that every woman should own a crisp-white shirt. But don’t just save it for the office – pair with leather trousers, heels and a statement necklace and you’re set for date night.
The stripy jumper
Any look that was brought to fashion fruition by Coco Chanel is worth investing in. With stripes rarely straying far from the spotlight, the Breton top is a must-buy. Try this chunky knit for a fresh take on nautical chic.
