What to wear on a shopping trip
Wear a simple, fitted base you can try clothes over: a plain tee, straight trousers or jeans and comfortable shoes. Keep one small bag and a layer that is easy to carry.
Two outfits that work
White tee, dark jeans, olive jacket
- fitted white tee
- dark straight jeans
- white trainers
- small camel crossbody
- light olive jacket
A plain tee and straight jeans are easy to put on and take off, and look good against any piece you try.
White tee, grey jeans, navy overshirt
- plain white tee
- slim grey jeans
- white trainers
- navy overshirt
A plain base in neutral colours lets you see how a new piece works with what you already own.
