Choice, is undoubtedly the most liberating and empowering strength a woman has when it comes to sartorial solutions for work and beyond. With spring fast-approaching, now is a good time to refresh your closet and keep things (and you) interesting. On page 11, The Times Fashion Director, Anna Murphy explores the benefits of not blending in by introducing a tactical dose of colour or bold pattern to transform the way you look and feel. As Anna states, ‘whatever your line of work, looking current is how to present yourself as relevant and future-facing’. We’ve worked hard to create stylish solutions for your everyday needs - from crease-free premium jersey that doesn’t cling (pg 44-49), to sophisticated suiting made from commuter friendly wrinkle-resistant twill (pg 32-43). Looking beyond the office? Discover oh-so-soft merino knits and statement tops with eye-catching details that will transform your outfit into something extra-special (pg 50-57). However you choose to style out spring, wear it with confidence, and enjoy!

It’s colour that will make you pop, make you stand out. How much colour do you have in your wardrobe? Colour and pattern, that is? Some of us embrace it, but more of us eschew it. Why? Because we fear that we will get it wrong and end up in something that doesn’t suit us. The thing is, you can pick wrong when it comes to plain neutrals, too. Indeed, colour and pattern can actually prove far simpler to nail when dressing to flatter your silhouette. What’s more, they are two ofa the easiest ways to change up your appearance. They can transform the way you look and feel. They can change the vibration of a room when you walk into it, and continue to resonate long afterwards, when that room and what happened in it are just a memory.
Colour is our superpower because we get to wear it, to enjoy it, and to use it in a way that is not open to all but the most adventurous men. It’s colour that will make you pop, make you stand out. And standing out is not a bad thing, if you know that you’re looking great. It can help you make friends and influence people, both in your working life and off-duty. It can help you develop – and enjoy – who you are. Colour, the right colour, can be an expression of self, more than that, a celebration of self. And the same goes for pattern, the right pattern. Whatever, however, you choose to embrace colour and pattern,wear them with confidence. More than that, enjoy!
