Charlie Chooses: The 7 pay-day designer buys that our Fashion Editor is dreaming of

When it comes to filling a wardrobe, I’m an absolute advocate for high/low dressing. The high street is perfect for some occasions, whilst I prefer something a tad more luxe for others.

It goes without saying that it’s not an even split. The majority of my wardrobe is undoubtedly from the lower-end of the pricing spectrum, but with the undeniable allure of certain designer pieces – along with the ever-growing transparency of certain malpractices amongst more affordable fashion particularly – I find myself gravitating towards a few pricier pieces every now and then.

What with it being pay-day weekend, I thought I’d share some of those with you to take the leg-work out of what can already be a daunting shopping experience (slinging anything in your basket with more than two figures can be a frightening prospect).

Here’s what I’m buying, wearing and wanting this month…

1. The oversized double-breasted coat

If you know my wardrobe at all (or have taken even the briefest glimpse at my Instagram page) then you’ll know that I wholeheartedly subscribe to ‘the bigger the better’ model when it comes to outerwear. I love a broad silhouette, I love a midi/maxi length hemline, and I really love an oversized sleeve. You won’t be surprised, therefore, that this super loose, double-breasted, cashmere-blend trench coat is top of my wishlist this season. Worn over everything from matching sweat sets to jeans and even a date night slip, it’ll quickly earn its place in just about any wardrobe.
