As we approach the new season I’ve put together a new series of trend videos dedicated to the must-have looks and styles you need to know for autumn/winter. First up it’s the colour story of the season: yellow tones. Think warming sunshine and spiced yellows as a sidestep from the neons we’ve …

When it’s still summer but you need an extra layer, look to lighter-toned neutrals with just a hint of colour and use a lightweight top layer that works just as well over a vest while it’s mild as it will over a roll neck or sweater when the temperature drops. Style …
