I’m a fashion editor – the fool-proof style formula for mums’ back-to-school wardrobe & outfits are under £40
DROPPING your kids off at the school gates is a huge deal for them and you.
You’ve got all their uniforms washed, ironed and labelled, but you’ll need to get your school gate style back up to scratch for the new term.
As we dip our toe into new season trends, it’s not about making drastic changes to your wardrobe just to show the other mums that you’re hot on your trends.
It’s about having a stylish, versatile and purse-friendly closet that you can mix and match for the rest of the term.
Here, fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals how you can still be in vogue wearing up to date silhouettes like barrel jeans and tapping into trends like boho – all under £40.
