Found: the perfect white jeans*



Vogue Italia September 1991 - Carre Otis white jeans by Michael Roberts

White jeans have enjoyed a renaissance in recent seasons. Not so much the skinny hipsters of Y2K-era Liz Hurley, but a more forgiving straight leg or roomier boyfriend cut, ideally ending at the ankle to wear with boots, loafers or sandals.

If you’re tall, Studio Nicholson*, The Row*, Raey and Toteme* should fit the bill (if you have an equally capacious budget). But I think I’ve hit the white jean jackpot at Arket.

Hey, I’m a knitwear girl! Here’s my pick of the autumn trends and best buys I’m eyeing for the forseeable…

Buy it now: Chinti & Parker X Peanuts



Chinti and Parker Peanuts

If you’re a Peanuts fan, you’ll love this Chinti & Parker X Peanut collab that’s just dropped. I have to say that certain pop culture brands do wayyyyy too many collabs, it’s rendered them meaningless (*cough* Disney). I grew up with Mickey and Minnie as iconic symbols of classic Americana but over the years they have lost a lot of the magic.
