I must confess, I check Zara’s new-in section far more than I care to admit and scroll through the app like it’s Instagram. While we may still be in the midst of a heatwave, signs of the new season are beginning to trickle in and that transitional dressing period is looming closer and our favourite stores are beginning to tease their early autumn collections.

French women will always be my biggest inspiration when I don’t know what to wear – it is almost ingrained in their DNA on how to achieve that effortless style that looks so polished and put-together. When it comes to the transitional season, floaty dresses will soon be replaced by light knits and jeans and sandals stowed away replaced by loafers. However, living in the UK, we know all too well that the temperature can change at the drop of a hat, making dressing so much harder to navigate, so I turn to French women for guidance.
