AGELESS STYLE: Wardrobe staples for everyone by fashion stylist Arabella Greenhill
The wheel is not being reinvented when we say a blazer is a wardrobe staple. But it's a hardworking, timeless piece that will update everything. What's more, the options are endless – from oversized to fitted, linen to leather, and a whole range of colours. This is my favourite way to style it…
Earrings £19.99, pilgrim.net. Necklace, £100, jigsaw-online.com. Bag, £35.99, shop.mango.com
BLAZER
Linen blazers are light and allow for layering underneath. Look for a linen mix if you want to avoid creasing. Blazer, £89.99, shop.mango.com
JEANS
Cropped wide-leg jeans keep things casual. If you're after an evening blazer look and don't fancy a suit, a high-waisted bootleg style brings some glam. Jeans, £90, jigsaw-online.com
T-SHIRT
A basic tee is the perfect canvas and works well with blazers of all styles. Quality T-shirts made from thick cotton will sit nicely at the neckline and won't warp when washed. T-shirt, £8.50, marksandspencer.com
SHOES
Use accessories to emphasise the vibe of your look. Gold detailing on sandals ties in well with jewellery and adds some smart, trend-led accents to an otherwise timeless look. Sandals, £140, jigsaw-online.com
