Suits you
Curated by Nina Tucker
‘Androgynous chic’ has long been my answer to how I describe my style. A balance of masculine and feminine shapes where ease meets elegance – perhaps because I grew up reading every book I could find about Coco Chanel and her design principles (she famously revolutionised 20th century fashion by borrowing from traditional menswear). Let classic tailoring and playful suiting be a staple in your wardrobe, office and beyond.

3 style tips
Don’t buy a blazer before owning a pair of sleeve bands. The stretchy garter-like bands are a suit styling must-have that sit on the sleeve for an instantly customisable fit.
Brooches are one of 2026’s biggest jewellery trends (if Chanel or Giorgio Armani’s runways are anything to go by), and they make the perfect styling statement on a lapel. From oversized flowers and mystical motifs to architectural designs and vintage finds, pin a brooch onto your blazer for an instant outfit upgrade.
Define your waist – or don’t. Trust your style, not the trend. With baggy blazers and cinched options both trending, there’s a balance in tailored fashion at the moment to suit what feels most comfortable for you. I prefer an oversized blazer that I can cinch with a silk scarf or belt to define my waist when I want to, though a properly fitted blazer is worth the investment for that ultra sleek tailored look.
