I went so long without wearing jeans, and then like buses, two styles came along that are now part of my regular casual wardrobe. First the Marks and Spencer palazzo style, and then these barrel leg jeans. They make a change from joggers, which is what I often wear when I’m at home. Wearing an elevated casual outfit not only makes me feel better because I’ve made an effort, it also means I don’t have to change if I need to suddenly go out anywhere.

This green sweatshirt and jeans is a simple outfit formula but I still feel put together

Good quality basic pieces make that process so much easier. This green sweatshirt and jeans is a simple outfit formula but I still feel put together. This is my second sweatshirt from Acegolfs (you can see more pieces from the brand in this post). They are great for all year round because they wick moisture away from the skin, protect against the wind and have built in SPF. The soft, four-way stretch fabric makes them super comfortable. It was a cold day, so I layered a thin long sleeve burgundy top underneath. That gave me the idea of wearing my burgundy FitFlop trainers and co-ordinating crossbody bag. It follows the “rule of three” that I often use in outfits – two main colours plus a third accent shade. These sweatshirts are available in lots of different colours, along with matching capri sweatpants. Take a look and let me know what your favourite colour is!
