The Key Pieces Fashion Insider Pip Hodgson Is Loving Right Now
The New Bag Brand
I am so excited to have come across this new Amsterdam-based brand, called Maeden. It does understated chic so beautifully and the classic colours and timeless shapes are sure to make its bags a cherished addition to any wardrobe.

The Knit
Good quality knitwear is hard to beat and should work year after year if well considered. There are so many great pieces around this season, so it's hard to narrow the options to just a few. Navygrey always creates classic staples in all the best colourways. This beige cashmere sweater from Zara is a great buy. Lastly, Almada Label’s chic wrap knit works perfectly with a tailored pair of trousers – just add statement earrings or a necklace for an effortless day-to-night look.
The Wool Blazer
I absolutely love this chunky blazer by Anine Bing and see it looking fabulous with dark grey jeans or black leather trousers and either a black or camel knit or just a simple white tee underneath. It's an investment but will stand the test of time and work hard in any wardrobe.

The Leather Trousers
& Other Stories has designed the perfect pair of black leather trousers that will work hard for you from now through to spring. In my opinion, they are equally chic in the daytime as they are dressed up for an evening out. The timeless combination of a blazer or trench, tee shirt, leather trousers and a loafer or ballet pump is a perennial classic; or they look just as great with an embellished black or charcoal grey knit, kitten heels and an overcoat.

The Silky Skirt
I’m a big fan of silky skirts and paired with a chunky knit and a pointy boot you have an outfit that works for every occasion. The new longer length is a popular choice this season when worn with ankle boots, as it conceals the gap between boot and skirt, and it also works beautifully as evening wear with a lighter knit and statement earrings.
The Slingback
The slingback kitten heel has become a popular addition to the capsule wardrobe and a trend that’s set to last for the foreseeable future. I love this burgundy pair by Mango – they add a subtle pop of colour and work well with so many different styles and colours of trousers. Meanwhile, if you are ready to invest, the YSL and Valentino Garavini options will become prized possessions that will elevate any outfit.
The Shearling Coat
A wishlist wouldn’t be complete without a winter coat and this piece by Maje is guaranteed to last you a lifetime. I love that it’s reversible and there is no doubt it will keep you warm during the winter months while still looking stylish and sophisticated.

The White Shirt
A must for every wardrobe, a white shirt works hard year round and this tuxedo style option from H&M caught my eye as the perfect twist on the classic.
