A leather jacket

“When you think of leather jackets, it’s easy to fall into the trap of just picturing classic biker styles, but, taking cues from the runways, leather is everywhere right now and there are so many different options to choose from this season. Saint Laurent’s trench coats have strong, exaggerated shoulders and nipped waists, while Balenciaga sticks faithfully to its signature oversized cuts. Bottega Veneta’s focus is always on incredible craftsmanship and celebrating pared-back luxury, knowing that a beautiful material like leather, in a timeless cut, is always a good investment. When it comes to styling, it’s about simplifying things and allowing your leather piece to stand out. Plus, it’s about balance – if you’ve gone for something oversized, the trick is to keep things in proportion by pairing with slim-fit silhouettes. If it’s more fitted, you could add volume elsewhere or play with accessories. Overall, whether it’s motorcycle style, a bomber, or a blazer, a leather jacket is just a great staple to have in your closet.”

Tailored eveningwear

“I just have to mention Saint Laurent again, because you really can’t go wrong with this brand when it comes to tailoring – the history of its iconic ‘Le Smoking’ suit speaks for itself. Victoria Beckham is another fail-safe option, while Stella McCartney’s collections strike a personal note with me; I love the way she trained on Savile Row and continues to use what she knows about classic menswear as the driving force behind her collections, including the winter ’23 NET SUSTAIN drop. Classic finishes are hard to beat and it’s the finer details that can really make tailored eveningwear special.”

Party heels

“I love glitz, so Gucci’s crystal-embellished kitten heels fit the bill nicely. René Caovilla’s snaking heels are always so popular with my clients, along with high-heeled stilettos by Aquazzura. Anything with a slingback strap is trending right now, and I think that shape is always going to look so classic and elegant with a party dress. If, however, it’s a party flat that you’re after, you could go for an embellished ballet flat – or at least keep a pair in your bag to change in to.”
