“Zara does the best blazers with a great flattering shoulder structure for all body shapes,” she explains. “Arket has the best knitwear and their oversized roll-necks look far more expensive than they are thanks to their lux looking cut. I have hunted high and low—even in price point—for the ultimate oversized white shirt, and & Other Stories have the dream one. It’s the right level of oversized, and its finishings won’t swamp you.”
Charlotte has created a list of the 27 items you need in your wardrobe. “[It’s been] a development and research process, but I feel with the exception of two trend pieces that change per month, the rest are timeless,” she says. “You could use this season’s bodysuit under a blazer instead of a white shirt and team with impeccably tailored wide-leg trousers to add a new dressing dimension, for instance. The accessory that will rev up your look this season is a pair of biker boots, and if you team these with an oversized hoodie and leather trousers, there’s nothing boring about that! Introducing a new accessory will always liven up any capsule.”
