Style notes, from our rail to yours

The corset top, three ways

A structured bodice does the dressing for you.

• By day, pair it with high waist mummy jeans and flat sandals.
• In the evening, swap to a midi skirt and a small bag.
• For layering, wear a crisp shirt open over it and let the neckline show.

Why mummy jeans work

Room through the hip, a high rise and a straight leg.

• Tuck in a fitted top to keep the waist defined.
• Roll the hem once for a clean ankle line.
• Check the waist and hip measurements in cm, not just the size letter.

The white shirt that does everything

Oversized, crisp and quietly sharp.

• Knot it at the waist over high waist denim.
• Wear it open as a light jacket over a bodycon dress.
• Keep jewellery simple and let the collar frame your face.
