Polar fleece – love it or hate it? It’s one of those fabrics that is super comfortable and warm, but lacks style in a big way. It’s a level 3 fabric that could be classed as appropriate for Outdoor Leisure activities such as going for a walk in the winter, watching football, heading to the…

Pants – that’s trousers for you UK folk, not underpants, are a staple in most wardrobes. They are, the hardest garment for most women to fit. Really, I find that I can spend hours trying to help a client find a pair that fits well. The most common fit issues are around the depth…
Hi Imogen, I have an accessories question. I have several peasant/grandpa tops that I’m an absolute nut for, but I never quite know what accessories to wear with them. They are definitely on the relaxed side, & I tend to live in them with jeans in spring & summer, so I like to use different…
