An Outfit That Makes You Relax

An Outfit With A Sentimental Story
TV presenter and style icon Laura Jackson says of her happy outfit: "My vintage racing green Gucci suit always makes me happy!

An Outfit That Feels Different Every Time You Wear It
Olivia Cantillon, co-founder and director of OwnTheLook.com, says: "What makes me happiest when putting a look together is when a piece offers multiple ways to be worn. My favourite styling formula is wearing a dress three ways—on its own and fabulous, with a jumper over the top for off-duty cool and with a white shirt layered underneath for 'girl boss' feels. Not only are your looks ultra stylish, but you're earning major points on the cost-per-wear front."
