Denim-wise this month, I’m seeing lots of Londoners opting to pair their cosy pieces with longer length, slightly looser jeans for a 2020 update. With Gap’s Sky High jeans, I can stick to my favourite straight leg but try out that fuller-length inseam, which I’m loving. The skinny jean will always be a classic, but straight styles have that relaxed cool-girl feel that reflects London’s attitude toward fashion. Anything with a slightly vintage feel and not too much stretch, and I’m sold.
The key, though, is to find the style that you feel most comfortable in and work around that. I spend my life searching for the perfect shade of blue, and I think I may have found it in these Gap jeans. As the weather cools and I pack away my sandals for another season, I’ll be pairing my cropped denim with a loafer or chunky trainer. I’ll choose boots or heels to go with the longer-length styles of the moment for a more elevated look.
In London, the weather definitely calls for cosy and comfortable dressing, so I’ll be prioritising that this year. Every Londoner owns a great selection of knitwear, and I’m no different. Some of my favourite pieces from Gap’s autumn collection are the knits—the cashmere is super soft and such a great value and the merino wool feels so luxe. They always do the perfect simple shapes, with no fussiness that could ruin it. I’ll pop a white T-shirt under my knits and throw an extra sweater over my shoulders as a scarf-jumper hybrid to add some interesting layers.
Here are three of my favourite outfit combinations from Gap’s new drop…
