Trend 2: Pastels

‘I am not really a girly girl, so this trend had me feeling a little bit tense. The only way I thought I would wear pastels would be in the form of a summer dress or some pastel denim shorts on a beach, pina colada in hand, but no, it’s freezing cold and it’s LFW. So how do I make pastels less pretty and more me? Team them with a military-esque jacket, of couse! This cropped boxy number is from Atterley Road – add some slouchy patched-up MiH jeans, midnight black Nike trainers from Office, et voila! The humble pastel can be tomboy-playful, not just girly-sweet. I might just be tempted to try this again.’

‘I am channelling Marc Jacobs pyjama-style circa 2013, a trend I was OBSESSED with. My twist this season? By making sure they’re pastel. Usually I’d go for prints, but today I am wearing these gorgeous pale blue striped ones from H&M. I love the black piping down the side, which makes them look a bit smarter. I have styled them with a heavy biker jacket from BLK Denim to toughen it up and steer it away from looking too floaty. Tonight we’re going to the Browns party, I happen to have a pair of Gianvito Rossi mega-black strappy sandals in my bag, which will work a treat once I’ve rolled the legs up a bit to flash a bit of skin.’
