Below, find Mazour’s top formulas to save now and recreate for effortless morning styling, plus her expert tips.

Leather trousers + Checked blazer

Whether you're heading straight to the office after the morning drop-off or simply looking to get a head start on your day, Mazour's leather trousers and checked blazer look offers a perfectly polished vibe for any cold winter day.

"I love getting dressed up for my school run. I often head straight out to meetings or events as soon as my kids are in school, and struggle to feel energised if I'm not properly turned out. I just don't feel ready for the day in sweatpants," she says. "I feel I'm able to hustle my kids into school on time if I feel my best and put together."

Fair Isle knit + Denim

Focusing on maintaining an outfit formula she credits as her 'uniform', Mansour reaches for her favourite elevated basics daily, all of which include a great pair of denim, a cosy knit, and a warm padded jacket. "I am almost always in jeans, typically Citizens of Humanity or Agolde, with a cashmere jumper or knit of sorts, and some boots, " she adds.

Belted jacket + Loafers

Following on from her aforementioned uniform, she also pairs straight-leg jeans with a belted jacket for a smarter every day silhouette.

For this look, Mazour has also leaned into high-low styling, a method she uses to create outfits that mix both high-street and designer pieces, on this occasion mixing a luxe Vanessa Bruno jacket with Tony Bianco loafers. Looking to replicate this high-low approach, she recommends the following.

"I love Massimo Dutti or Khaite for boots. I have a vast jacket and coat wardrobe, which helps spice up my looks in the cooler months. For high-low mixing, I have a fair amount of Zara that I throw in with niche brands like With Nothing Underneath.

Maxi coat + Embellished handbag

To brighten up any cold, gloomy January day, Mazour shares that she often gravitates towards colourful knits and detailed handbags. On this occasion, she paired a chunky cardigan from Aligne with a brown maxi coat and a suede hobo bag from L'Atelier featuring a bejewelled strap.

Beanie + Statement coat

One of her favourites for chic outerwear is a longline pony coat by Paris-based Nour Hammour paired with a casual & Other Stories beanie and Adidas Tokyo trainers. Proving that a statement coat is sometimes all you need to add polish to an otherwise casual outfit.
