Fashion maths: how one new item can whoop up your wardrobe

I love finding a new winning combination. These Acne boots have unleashed a whole host of wardrobe possibilities. Experimenting with clothes is the way to create a handful of get-up-and-go outfits, a range of options that make life easier in the morning. Adding one new item and ‘shopping your wardrobe’ (otherwise known as wearing your old clothes) is more sustainable and satisfying. This makes good style sense. Rather than shopping for the sake of it, you’re shopping with a purpose and that is to whoop up your existing wardrobe.

Style notes: The APC denim jacket I bought in Paris several years ago, the MiH white Mimi jeans are last summer’s sale bargain, best worn in winter. The beautiful, pale blue bag is my old Ally Capellino and the scarf is Universal Works. The grey coat was a gift from Jaeger (a couple of years ago), the boots a gift from FarFetch.

Should the one item you need to do the fashion maths be a white denim jacket, J. Crew’s is now half price (available HERE).

 

Top marks for an old-new, feel-good combination – and an outfit that’s not khaki and navy.
