Meet The Accessory That Works With Everything

I've always been drawn to that juxtaposition of feminine and masculine. A delicate earring offset by something more structured, soft tailoring balanced by harder details. That's exactly what the Seiko Presage does so well. There's an inherent elegance to the design but it still has that strength and precision that feels distinctly masculine on the wrist. It's that tension that makes it so interesting to style – and so easy to reach for, whatever the look.

My style is feminine but classic. I love an elegant silhouette – a longline blazer, a fluid trouser, something that looks polished but feels effortless to wear. I'm always drawn to that push and pull between soft and structured – pairing something delicate with something that has a bit more weight to it. I tend to work within a palette of lighter shades mixed with darker tones – navy and white, cream and black – pieces that feel interchangeable and timeless rather than trend-driven.

Practicality is important to me because I'm constantly on the go – but I refuse to let that compromise how I look. I gravitate towards pieces that work hard – a great blazer that goes from morning meetings to dinners out, trousers that feel smart but are genuinely comfortable to wear all day. I invest in things that are high quality and versatile, pieces I know I'll reach for time and again rather than something that only works one way. Your clothes should make your life easier, not harder.

French girls are my ultimate style muses. I'm naturally drawn to brands that capture that effortless, slightly undone quality – minimal but never boring. I tend to invest in fewer, better pieces that I know will be mainstays in my wardrobe for years to come. A great pair of boots, a beautiful bag, a much-loved watch – these are the pieces I save for and wear on repeat. Quality over quantity, always.

I keep an eye on what's happening but I'd never follow a trend blindly. That said, I do think you can lean in if it genuinely feels true to you – I love that femininity is having such a moment right now: the lace, the broderie anglaise, the more delicate detailing. The trends I'm most drawn to are the ones that turn out to last anyway. If something still feels right in five years, it was never really a trend to begin with.

Accessories are central to how I get dressed. I have a core jewellery stack I gravitate towards every day and build it up or pare it back depending on the occasion. A great watch anchors everything. There is nothing chicer than a well-chosen timepiece – it elevates an outfit in a way that's almost impossible to articulate but you always notice when it's there. The Seiko Presage does exactly that; it's the classic detail that ties everything together without overpowering a look.
