“I’m not scared of color but I am more attracted to earthy tones, neutrals and khaki, and I wear a lot of utility pieces. A matching khaki shirt and pants is such a modern take on a suit and so easy and comfortable. My work involves a lot of movement, so I tend to go for pieces that let me move around. A trench coat is timeless and it covers all manner of sins as well. Underneath you can be wearing something oversized, boxy or tight; pop a trench coat on top and belt it and you’ve immediately got your look.”

“It’s an unexpected choice, but white can look so beautiful in winter. There’s something about the cold weather that brings out the crispness of the color. It has so much presence when it’s in thick or structured fabrics, especially when it’s layered under a winter coat in a dark shade. I’m outside a lot dealing with the weather in London [where I now live], so I’m an outerwear person. There’s something so universal about a great coat – I always look for timeless pieces that aren’t seasonal. I go for a slightly oversized shape and wear something basic underneath if I want to make a statement, or I choose a slinky, minimalist coat and transform it with the help of accessories.”

“When it comes to dresses, I never go for anything that’s tight-fitting – I prefer a looser, mid-length shape. A really brilliant dress like this one by Joseph can stand alone, but it’s also easy to add interest by wearing it over a pair of pants or by layering an amazing knit over the top. It’s so comfortable and gives a great, unexpected shape to the dress. I’d add knee-high winter boots that slouch satisfyingly when you wear them; they’re so functional because they’re tall and warm.”
