There are a few timeless staples I swear by, from the perfect white T-shirt and jeans to the hard-working black blazer I can throw over anything. This week, I’ve rounded up 6 of the everyday wardrobe essentials I currently have on rotation.

When it comes to the perfect white T-shirt, I have to confess I have two styles. I love my slightly oversized, looser-fit one that I can style with jeans from Reiss, which features a super flattering capped sleeve. But I’m also a big fan of my fitted Hush crew neck, which sits neatly under my suit for smarter office days.
I can’t resist a classic aviator jacket. I’m living in this super soft cropped leather one at weekends. I wear mine with the cosy Merino shearling collar and a cashmere knit, but it can be taken off for a sharper more tailored look for the office.
In a world flooded with new denim trends, the high-waist, straight-leg, soft blue jean is the style I keep coming back to. I love these cropped Citizens of Humanity ones, which I style with everything from ankle boots and heels to my favourite trainers.
Find a great black blazer and you’ll wear it every week for years to come. I love a feminine meets masculine style that feels slightly boxy and oversized like this one from Frankie Shop with stylish vents at the back.
There’s something about a silk shirt that instantly elevates an outfit making it feel elegant and chic. It’s the perfect day-to-night piece this time of year when I’m regularly out for an event straight from the office. This one from Reiss looks and feels so luxurious.
I’m always looking for a statement coat that will inject some colour into my wardrobe at this time of year. This beautiful soft red wrap coat is an update of the sell-out purple version from last year, which I bought and got more compliments on than any other item I’ve ever worn.
HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK
With Halloween over, we are officially into party season and my evenings are steadily getting booked up with work events and Christmas drinks with colleagues and friends. Thankfully, the Marie Claire fashion team have been busy rounding up the very best party dresses to invest in for the season. This year, the classic little black dress continues to feature heavily but shades of plum and burgundy also take the lead with reds not far behind.
