Bollocks to the ‘Don’t Look Your Age Challenge’
This outfit featured in my Bollocks to the ‘Don’t Look Your Age Challenge’ post (thank you so much for all the brilliant comments) and I promised I’d provide the details. Most of the clothes are a few years old, I’m afraid. The towelling polo shirt is ancient APC and I’ve been waiting for years to wear it again. The cords are from Kate Sheridan (no longer available, try Toast for something similar) and the snaffle loafer mules are from Russell & Bromley called Della Casa (loaned for the Telegraph shoot). The snazzy tweed jacket was a sale bargain from Massimo Alba; initially I wondered if it might be a bit jaunty for my liking but then I remembered Chanel in Scotland and Ines de la Fressange’s Parisian Chic, and gradually over the years it has become a reliable spring favourite. As Catherine Deneuve said of Yves Saint Laurent’s le smoking, ‘It really does make you feel different, it changes gestures’.
