THE STYLE DIRECTOR

Shirts to stockpile: Whistles’ silk patch pocket shirts. We love the relaxed styling and boyish small collar of this #AW12 offering to accompany a sleek pencil skirt or mannish pants and heels

Fluid perfection from Hermes.  Think perfect white shirt and tailored jacket.  Think The Style Director

Camel coats, slim trousers, loafers, trench coats … check, check, check, check!

Trenchcoats and riding boots…

Emmanuelle Alt’s assistant, Geraldine Saglio accessorising her overcoat with racy trousers and classic pumps. Plus an amusing (if a little catty) article on the Alt Look…

Dior SS12 looking very The Style Director with sand-hued trousers in are our favourite 7/8th proportion that go so well with loafers, lace ups or heels. We also adore the sheer-under-opaque shirting…

One of our favourite Dries Van Noten looks for next season. Love the whole ensemble offset by the graphic sunglasses

We want to live in this house…

Coat trends may come and go but as far as we’re concerned, a mannish tailored coat is eternal. (Especially in timeless toffee and black.) We love the updates suggested here with the lipstick red 7/8th trousers, walkable heels and squashy clutch.

An easy black knit under a dust-coloured trench. No bells or no whistles needed.

We love a T-shirt with a rolled sleeve…

Congratulations to one of our favourite style classicists; Sofia Coppola married Thomas Mars yesterday in this dreamlike cloud of lavender Alaia… we couldn’t image a more perfect choice.

Dark, slim pants are the hardest working saviours of our wardrobes. We buy in multiples and choose a length that stops above the ankle bone so we can wear with ballet flats, loafers, pointy pumps or three inch heels. In the winter we love them with ankle boots or patent slingbacks.
