Make it a double
This season’s love affair with tailoring is going nowhere. Blazers and suits are big news right now, and retailers are seeing a huge uplift as customers rush to smarten up their acts.
So if you’re tempted, take note. It’s all about the double- breasted jacket right now. The style reflects the move towards the 70s-style cuts we’re seeing everywhere. And cord seems to be the fabric of choice for most.
Fearne Cotton, 37, put in a stylish appearance at the Women of the Year lunch this week wearing a gorgeous Bella Freud flared trouser suit. She teamed it with a pale blue shirt from her Fearne at Cath Kidston collection. Another big Bella fan is Jenna Coleman, 32, who wore the same suit in black to the BBC2 studios recently.
For a lighter take on the trend, check out Olivia Wilde, 34, in this season’s must-have hue if you want to earn maximum brownie points.
