HOW TO DO NEW-SZN DRESSING FT. CHLOE GRIFFIN

NEWSFLASH: January isn't the start of the New Year – the month of fresh starts is totally September 🌻 Schools/unis are back after the summer holidays, it's Fashion Month AND transitional season – AKA: wardrobe-upgrade time. So, in the spirit of starting over, we're getting into all the new trends with superstar stylist Chloe Griffin for the second ep of Stylist Spotlight. We're talking tartan minis, caaaa-ute co-ords and the très chic socks-and-ballet-pumps combo 🩰 Happy New Year!

Welcome back, Chloe! 🥳 So, can you tell us about the trend you're flexing today?
Sure – it’s great to be back, btw! We’re calling it the New Uniform: it's super-chic, and when you wear these pieces, you just feel powerful. Best of all, the trend is really versatile, so you can wear any of the items to work or for a BNO 💃

Niceeee. Where are you getting inspo from?
I'm embracing all my fave 90s teen movies like Clueless – Cher Horowitz and all her friends always looked immaculate – and The Craft, for a more grungey vibe as we go into colder weather. 

 

Love it. And do you have any fave items you've spied from today's shoot?

Defo the matching two-pieces. I also LOVE ties right now – you can wear them with a shirt, without a shirt, or, I've really got into wearing ties with dresses recently. You don't necessarily need a collar to tie them round – they're just really versatile.

You heard it here first, ppl! And finally, what's a must-have piece we should be picking up RN?
OK, so you need a classic white shirt in your wardrobe [ed's note: Chloe recommends the ASOS DESIGN Oxford shirt in white]. Wear it with jeans, a mini skirt (I always think a white shirt looks really cool with a tartan mini) or literally anything. Then, a pair of pumps (ballet shoes or Mary Janes) worn with socks is a must – lace socks, frilly socks, any kind (ASOS has an amaze selection). It's such a simple way of serving uniform vibes!
