THE online EDIT • THIS MONTH’S HIGHLIGHTS AT REDONLINE.CO.UK FROM RED’S MULTIPLATFORM EDITOR FRANCESCA RICE

Return of the MAC

DOUBLE VISION • BREEZE THROUGH A SEASON OF UNDERSTATED SIMPLICITY WITH OUR FUSS-FREE COUPLINGS THAT, WHEN WORN TOGETHER, DELIVER MAXIMUM IMPACT

Blazer + belt • Powerhouse boardroom blazers get a silhouette shake-up with just a cinch. No longer hidden on hips, belts have gone from practical necessity to must-have accessory, so it’s worth investing in bold logo buckles that will add character to the ultimate smart jacket – and so much more.

Shorts + points • Shorts may get a bad rap, but the perfect pair will provide your wardrobe with effortless, perennial style for years to come, whether in sporty leather or something more refined. The easiest update for this season? Introduce prim points into the mix – they’ll serve to polish the look and elongate legs no matter the hemline length.

Dress + frames • The carefully considered drapery of a figure-skimming dress may sound too indulgent for daywear; however, combined with quotidian opticals for a collegiate edge, it will take on everyday appeal.

Cargos + chains • Looking for an antidote to the cargo shirt’s muted colour palette and heavy-duty utilitarian pockets? A cluster of glorious gold chains layered with purpose will instantly elevate this staple into the fashion sphere, transforming it from off-duty basic to an ensemble that commands attention.

Pencil skirt + handbag • The siren skirt goes back to the office, and this time this midi means business, as classic knee-grazer pencil skirts prove modesty is having a moment. Lean wholly into the demure by pairing with a ladylike handbag, clutched tightly in hand or tucked underarm for an air of nonchalance.

IF THE SHOE FITS • THE FOOTWEAR BRANDS OF THE MOMENT ARE REIMAGINING THE CLASSICS. THINK SHEER MESH BALLET FLATS, TRICOLOURED HEELED LOAFERS AND BARELY-THERE SKIN-TONE SANDALS

HOUSE OF HARRIS • He’s the clothes designer who put Harry Styles in frills and won an A-list clientele in the process. Harris Reed tells Laura Craik why he’s fighting for fluidity in fashion

FROM ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER • International Women’s Day is a good reminder to celebrate the women we know, love or are inspired by. Here, some of our favourites share another woman’s advice they’ve never forgotten…
