PALE MOOD-BOOSTER It's time to embrace a more optimistic approach to dressing. Switching dark neutrals for something paler will lift your look and mood. Designers went mad for tonal dressing this season, which is fashion-speak for wearing the same colour from top to toe. But all-over white may make you look like a Charlie’s Angel, so opt for a softer, chalky ecru. DITCH LIZ HURLEY’S LOOK Skinny white jeans have long been my summer wardrobe staple, but it’s time to ditch Liz Hurley’s favourite style in favour of a creamy shade that’s less St Tropez. Ecru still has glamour, but without such a dazzling edge. An off-white will be a bold move away from blues and blacks, but it’s forgiving to pale skin that is still waiting for any hint of a tan. The wide-legged, cropped jeans from Boden I’m wearing here are a loose cut designed with lockdown lumps in mind.
