A trench coat

Burberry is a classic choice when shopping for a trench coat, because so many people associate it with the brand’s aesthetic – a Burberry trench is a timeless staple for every closet. Chloé is also a great choice. Every season, the brand offers a playful take on the trench, updating it with interesting details, such as mixing fabrics with leather, adding ruffles or lazer cuts. And if you love a leather trench coat, The Row has wonderful options that add a rebellious edge to the classic silhouette.”

Tailored pants

“The exceptional quality of The Row’s tailoring is guaranteed to last you for many years to come, and the wide variety of cuts makes it a great choice for workwear staples. In the warmer months, Chloé is ideal for transitional tailoring, with lots of linen-blend fabrics, lighter tones and fluid shapes. The brand also designs beautiful cropped styles that are very popular with my shorter clients. For pieces that are perfect for day-to-night dressing, Saint Laurent is a good choice – its pants come in flattering tapered and flared styles, and in an array of versatile fabrics. The velvet and wool options, for example, are elevated enough for eveningwear.”

Penny loafers

Gucci has so many different penny loafers to choose from – whether you prefer a slimmer, more classic style, a modern chunky sole, or something embellished. Again, I recommend Burberry – you can’t go wrong with its loafers, as the designs remain classics, whatever style you go for. If you prefer to add some color into your look, I would recommend Saint Laurent – the brand offers a traditional loafer design in an array of colors that work perfectly with tailoring. For a more refined silhouette, Christian Louboutin’s penny loafers are ideal – but they wouldn’t be Louboutins without a bit of edge, [so expect] details such as buckles, studs and croc-embossed leather.”
