Seasonal fashion trends, a bit like a bad boyfriend, have a limited shelf life.

On-the-whim, trend-led purchases fast become oh-so-last-season, and then comes the guilt of splurging on said item without thinking of its fashion future!

So, to ensure your current wardrobe is a healthy mix of trends and trans-seasonal goods, we decided to compile an edit of the pieces you will love to shop, and keep on wearing!

Leather trousers, a luxe silk shirt and an all-rounder, trusty bag are staple pieces that are easily mixed with other items from your wardrobe; treat these trans-seasonal picks like your fashion friends for life: loyal fashion buys you can rely on, over and over.

To put a style-related spin on the words of the Toy Story song, you’ve got a (fashion) friend in these…
