Funnel-neck jackets have become my latest wardrobe obsession – I’ve always loved the low-key sporty vibe of track jackets but the fact they’re now being reimagined in fabrics like linen makes them so much easier to style day-to-day. For this look, I leaned into the aesthetic with khaki trousers and subtle utility details, then balanced it out with loafers for a preppy twist. A pair of sunnies finishes everything off – sporty but with just the right amount of polish to feel chic.

A leather jacket is a mainstay in my wardrobe and this season, Nour Hammour's Dalma bomber feels like the grown-up way to wear it. Slightly oversized with a soft, slouchy structure, it adds just the right amount of attitude. Most of my looks are grounded in quiet luxury, so I rely on accessories to add directional edge. Timeless staples like Reiss’s tailored grey trousers and COS’s clean v-neck create a minimalist foundation, while the black heels add polish. The 70s-inspired sunglasses are a gentle nod to current trends – but it’s those refined details and confident silhouettes that really define modern elegance.

This season, few pieces feel as impactful or as wearable as a well-tailored suit, and green is my colour for autumn/winter. Offering a fresh alternative to classic neutrals, it’s bold without being overpowering, and just as versatile as navy or black. Cut to perfection, this Mango suit is an instant wardrobe hero – the trousers deserve a special mention for being the perfect length to wear with heels. To elevate the look further, I’ve styled it with an oversized grey coat from & Other Stories, while a patent bag introduces a bit of polish and texture. White patent heels from 10th Floor and black Celine sunglasses are perfect finishing touches.

I’m loving the collarless blazer trend  – it first emerged over the summer and now, as we move into the new season, even more are coming out. This Malina, wool-blend, tweed style feels so elevated. I’ve styled it here with tailored trousers for a smarter look but also have been wearing it with jeans. I love how versatile the silhouette is.

I’m very much into the pencil skirt trend this season – it was all over the AW25 runways at Miu Miu and Prada. It feels like such a chic way to do feminine tailoring with a twist. This blue set from COS is a dream – the colour is heaven and I love clashing it with deep burgundy for something a bit unexpected. It actually nails two trends in one – the pencil skirt silhouette and the sheer detail – so it feels modern, fresh and very now. When the weather turns colder, I'll style it with knee-high boots and slouchy cashmere.
