On the Street

As the owner of Stacey in Richmond it’s no wonder Jackie Gibbs-Beaton is well dressed every single day. A decisive shopper with 20 years experience working in the fashion industry, Jackie knows what works best for her and says she must love something before buying it.

What are you wearing today?

A very comfortable, stretch jogger pant paired with a selfchecked, cream, V-neck blouse and a full-length cocoon style Sabatini coat - all from Stacey. My boots are an all-time favourite from Merchant.

What is your style?

Classic with a hint of edge.

What is most of your wardrobe made up of?

Mostly ‘everyday’ garments… lots of tops to mix with my many pairs of jeans and jackets. Or dresses that make my dressing no fuss and easy. I seem to have lots of forever pieces that I can never part with. This is probably because if I don’t love it, it doesn’t come home with me, and if I love it, it must. If it feels great and looks fab why wouldn’t you keep it?

What are you loving at the moment?

I’m loving that the current season has styles and colours for everybody and designers are using natural fibres more.

What are you dressed for today?

Dressed for a day at work and a little touch of warmth on these cooler mornings.

What is your approach to shopping?

I’m a decisive bulk buyer, I know what I like and what works for me, so I shop my seasonal wardrobe normally in one hit, adding extra garments as I find them. My team say I cause chaos in my wake.

What is your all-time favourite purchase?

It would have to be my wedding gown, I promised my husband I would sell it, but no, it’s still in my wardrobe. What has been your worst clothing disaster?

I don’t think I’ve ever had one.

What wardrobe item should everyone invest in?

A great jacket and fabulous jeans. Oops, more than one item.

Do you have a style rule you always obey?

Yes, I have to absolutely love what I’m wearing. Also, have no more than three colours in an outfit, and one of those is usually a print.

If you could raid one person’s wardrobe, who would it be?

Angelina Jolie, because I admire her timeless, classic style.

Finish this sentence – You would never catch me wearing…

A mini skirt.
