Well here we are again. The evenings are getting longer, the sun has stopped coming out to play, bikinis are being sold at half price and festivals have all dried up. No, the Ibiza closing parties haven't happened so that means it's still summer, right? RIGHT?! Alas, no... No ammount of ketamine can make the summer last longer. But worry not! Stella McCartney has come to our rescue in the chic-est way possible! I was never a massive fan of ol' Stella but I was always nice about her for her father's sake. (In case one day I might meet him I don't want him to dislike me cause I slagged off his daughter. He's a Beatle for god's sake, have some respect!) But this season she's won me over without having to play 'I'm Only Sleeping' as the show soundtrack. Well done Stella. Instead she created the most simple, cleanest, smart casual show of Paris fashion week. Clean cut trousers and wool dresses, striped shifts and chunky knit cardigans, it was polished daywear at it's best. Of course, unless you're curator of the Tate, this sort of sophistication doesn't translate well to real life so what I've done is combined elements of this show and squeezed it into one wearable outfit for the Autumn. Teamed with the classic trench, an Autumn essential for any year, and a trendy little satchel that that Alexa Chung one wears till they die, the basic trends of Stella's show is squished together in a wearable and stylish way. Oh and see the loafers? Get a pair, if they're good enough for Chole, they're good enough for us.
