"Who says black and white has to be boring? This blazer-style dress has an interesting pattern and can also be tied with a belt at the waist to create a flattering A-line look. Perfect to wear to the office, you can wear it alone with heels or over a pair of dark jeans."

"This dress makes a statement with a punchy pink colour, but can be easily dressed up or down for different occasions. When you're wearing bright colours, carry a structured bag with muted tones because it's a timeless style that works with a variety of outfits."
– Lucy Nguyen, Womenswear Buying Manager
Eilie wears REDValentino dress, £830; Missoma necklace (top), £125 and (bottom) £169 (available at Bond Street); See by Chloe bag, £355
"This jacket is a great update to a classic power suit, which is a look that everyone needs in their wardrobe. It comes in a striking turquoise colourway and draws attention with gold piping and brass buttons. Simply style with a headscarf and earrings to give the look a '70s-inspired twist."

Eilie wears Peter Pilotto jacket, £1,150 and trousers, £575; Etro scarf, £175 (available at Bond Street); Christina Greene earrings, £178; Dior sunglasses, £255 (available at Bond Street, Brent Cross & Kingston)
“A great structured coat is a wardrobe necessity, especially when the weather is still chilly! And wearing it with a printed scarf helps to brighten the look and bring it from winter into spring. This one has such a beautiful, artistic design that looks great when paired with muted neutrals."
– Lucy Nguyen, Womenswear Buying Manager
Eilie wears Max Mara Studio coat, £895, blouse, £245 and trousers, £230; Mary Katrantzou exclusive scarf, £250
"A cable knit jumper is a simple, classic style that works for spring and winter. It's made out of cotton, making it lightweight and great to layer in cool weather. Pair the knit with this field jacket, which is designed to be worn continually throughout seasons and with some blue jeans – these have a vintage wash that will always look timeless."
