I’ll be the first to admit that I spend a lot of time on Instagram, especially during the pandemic. While I might have lost the plot of films and TV shows I’m “watching” thanks to endless scrolling, I have something to show for it: great outfit ideas. And in my line of work, great outfits matter. As you might imagine, I see an endless array of outfit combinations, and while there are plenty that aren’t quite right, there are many that stop me in my tracks.
For example, I’ve followed Amy Julliette Lefévre (who goes by @lefevrediary on Instagram) for a while, and a few weeks ago, I came across the perfect outfit: an oversized blazer, a white T-shirt, jeans and slouchy socks with classic white trainers. I immediately saved it to my September-looks folder (because I do that sort of thing). Before I knew it, I’d saved loads of other looks that I know will be amazing for the coming month.
There are trouser-and-blazer combos that are ideal for the in-between weather, but I’ve also found plenty of looks you can still wear with sandals when the weather allows. It’s key to remember that this is the time of year when you might be able to wear sandals one day but have to throw on ankle boots the next. Ready to see which outfits I’ve saved? Keep scrolling.
