Tilly’s Styling Tips
Location: South Coast Coastal Paths, Cornwall
This month we tasked fashion stylist, Tilly Wheating with selecting and styling her favourite pieces from this season's collection. Read on to discover her standout looks, simple styling tips and effortless ways to elevate the day-to-day...
A suit is a staple in most wardrobes, and this cord version is so easy to wear. The orange adds a playfulness to autumnal dressing and honestly, why not stand out a little? I wore it stomping along the Cornish coast in walking boots and cosy socks, layered over the Alba shirt for a relaxed weekend look that’s just as at home on a dog walk as it is at lunch.As the weather cools, throw on the cashmere hoodie underneath for a more laid-back, layered feel. To dress it up, one could pair it with the Edwardian blouse, the frilled collar and cuffs peek out just perfectly from the jacket, giving it a softer, more feminine edge.
Of course, you don’t always have to wear the suit as a full set. The Gigi trousers are incredibly flattering on their own, I often wear them with a simple white tee for something easy but pulled together.
Living by the coast, you're always dressing for changeable weather. The Milo jumper is a go-to layering piece and pairs effortlessly with the Eliza dress. The needlecord makes it an everyday essential, wear it with suede deck shoes and socks by day, then switch to knee-high boots for the evening.
The embroidered waistcoat is a standout for me this season, I love the colours and the pattern. I style it with the Edwardian shirt to show off those amazing puff sleeves and the frill details at the collar and cuffs. It looks beautiful with the Gigi trousers for a smarter take, or you can dress it down with denim which is how I enjoyed wearing it. The Felix trousers are a dream to wear. The loose fit is incredibly comfortable, and they look great with everything from knitwear to shirts, trainers to loafers.
