The shoe styles to wear with barrel jeans.

This is a question I get a lot - particularly as we go into autumn. It can be tricky, but file a few simple rules and there’s lots of styles that will work.

The most important rule is not to wear anything too chunky. It will make the look very bottom heavy and the balance will be all wrong.

When choosing trainers keep them slim and low. No chunky, running styles - just something minimal and non fussy.

The same applies to boots. Keep it close fitting and slim on the ankle to avoid looking clunky and with too much volume at the bottom. A low heel works best and avoid anything with a chunky sole.

Loafers are great with barrel styles - against keep it slim - avoid chunky soles and the look will be well balanced.

Flats are great with barrel styles - ballerinas, Mary Janes, low slingback heels, deck shoes, derby shoes and mules also work perfectly.

These are all at M&S (in store and online) and these jeans are also M&S.

This week’s Zara Shortlist takes us nicely into early autumn.

Key colours, light layers, cosy co ords and key trends to bring your autumn wardrobe bang up to date.

This rugby top combines two of the key shades this autumn. Burgundy and blue mixed is a gorgeous combination and this collared knit is super easy to wear and it works with all shades of denim.

This light bomber is a great shape and easy to throw on when things get a bit cooler. Three lovely neutrals to pick from the neckline we’re all looking for at the moment.

Next these relaxed jeans are nice way to get you back into wearing denim. The turn up style is so versatile and you can adjust it to suit your shoe choice. Turn up more for sandals and flats - then turn it down a bit for boots and trainers.

The check shirt is must have this autumn. It’s everywhere and can be worn in a multitude of ways. Personally I love a check shirt tied around the waist - it adds an effortless bit of edge to a simple jeans and tee outfit.

And lastly, it wouldn’t be the ZARA shortlist without a lovely co ord. As we get towards snuggly season, this one is perfect. I’ve given it a try and I can confirm it is seriously comfy.

Fabulous styles for early autumn at John Lewis.
This cropped jacket is everything I love about going into autumn. It comes in a myriad of beautiful shades, it’s soft and cosy and does all the hard work for you (I recently bought it in a beautiful rich wine colour).
We all know I love a blazer and this beautiful check with the subtle pink running through it is a really elevated, heritage style that works perfectly to make your jeans look more sophisticated.
The popover high jacket is achingly cool I love the huge pocket and this effortless neutral.
I know you’ve seen this trench before, but it’s so good. I need to show it to you again two coats for one in such a classic wearable design. Checks are everywhere this awesome and this is super chic.

Styling barrel trousers for autumn.

I’ve had lots of requests for this styling video so I’ve started with a cropped pair as they’re great for late summer. These are great quality, come in lots of colours and are only £26

I’ve added autumn feels to give you some ideas of how to take yours forward into the cooler days.

Warm tones are a great place to start - browns, khakis and creams all work well. Loafers are my autumn shoe of choice (but if I’m honest I’m starting in flip flops for as long as humanly possible 👌🏻)

Layering knits (over the shoulder or round the waist) is a great way to play around with your looks, and longer sleeves or light jackets while it’s still fairly warm.

I hope that gives you some styling ideas that will help - I’ll be adding more ways to transition your barrel style trousers soon xx

I’m wearing - a 12 short in these. The come in 4 lengths.

Welcome to my new weekly series: ‘High Street Heroes’.

Each week I’m going to take a great piece from the High Street and show you three ways to style it – hopefully this will give you some outfit inspiration and ideas on how to style your wardrobe going into autumn.

I’m starting with these khakis. You’ll have seen these trousers before– I recommend them all the time but this new khaki shade is incredibly popular right now and so good for autumn so I thought I’d show you a few ways that you can transition from summer into autumn - do you let me know if you’d like this idea?

I’ll be running this series each Tuesday - DM me if there’s a high street hero you’ll like to see as this series progresses xxx

A few looks this week. Getting back into light knits and layers.

I’m happy to be rediscovering my jeans - two of my favourite pairs here, along with the Zara khakis I’m obsessed with right now.
