Is there anything you wear on repeat?
My jeans. I’ve never been good at wearing skirts and although I like wearing dresses for special occasions, I’ll always revert to jeans – black, blue, baggy or straight. I also wear white T-shirts on repeat. I don’t wear a lot of bright colours. Left to my own devices, I tend to keep things quite simple.
How would you describe your style in a sentence?
Casual and comfy, although I really like tailoring and always feel comfortable in a suit: I’d rather wear one out than a dress.

If you could wear one thing every day, what would it be?
I love dresses, I have loads of them. My husband complains I have too many! I love a dress that nips you in and makes you feel great. I also love a dress that works in the day with sneakers but can be dressed up for evening with heels or boots.
What are your top tips for transitional layering?
The floral Seventies-inspired polo neck that I’m wearing is ideal for layering. You could wear it under a dress with the neckline open or under a sweater. Similarly, a ribbed V-neck can be worn under a sweater with the cuffs on show, or underneath a cardigan. A V-neck is always flattering.
What is the key item for this time of year?
Finding the perfect sweater may seem simple but I find it quite difficult. It’s all about the neckline, and the material. It’s got to sit nicely, whether you’re wearing it with a skirt, a dress or pants. The StayNew sweaters at M&S are perfect for Sunday strolls in the park teamed with jeans and sneakers.

Are you a fan of transitional dressing?
I love dressing for this time of year – it feels like my natural habitat. You can layer up your clothes, such as putting a turtleneck underneath a lighter dress to eke out the wear a bit longer.
What are your staple pieces for the season?
A good pair of leather ankle boots are a must. You can wear them with tights while it’s still cold and bare legs later on. And a good mac – I’ve got an M&S camel trench coat I’ve been wearing for years and years. It comes out every spring and autumn.
What colours are you drawn to at this time of year?
All those lovely mustard, brown and rust colours, plus rich jewel tones.
What’s your hero piece this season?
Definitely this floral dress – it’s really comfy but still a statement, and I think the colours are gorgeous.
