We’ve invited Instyle’s Fashion Editor Natalie Hartley to choose her favourite pieces, and to show us how she’ll be styling them. We’ll be bringing you a series of Natalie’s most on-trend looks and her top tips for style success.
This week… Natalie breaks up our NW3 Wells short suit to create two must-have looks. The featured pieces are the NW3 Wells drape jacket £69, and the NW3 Wells full shorts £69.
Natalie on how to wear the Wells jacket
Navy is my new black but I love mixing up black and blue together. I have styled the jacket with these velvet pyjama style trousers as they update a simple blazer. I’ve chosen to wear flats to complement the trousers shape, and a loose t-shirt keeps this outfit feeling less literal. This is a great look for work; comfortable yet stylish!
Natalie on how to wear the Wells shorts
I love these shorts and I think that the longer length is very flattering – great for showing enough leg but still appearing sophisticated. I love to wear navy and it’s a chic look instead of wearing black all the time. I like to play with texture and layers and an undone blouse with a t-shirt underneath gives a beaded jacket a modern makeover.
Tip…try shorts for work its a great alternative to a skirt suit
This is great.
Great to see the blog and top marks for showcasing clothes on ladies other than models. Not that I have anything against models, but why, oh why, does Hobbs use such thin models to model their clothes on their website? Let’s see a wider range of body types please for your pictures – I’d like to see these clothes being advertised by women who look more like me and less like teenagers with lots of makeup on.
Hi Fern,
Thanks so much for your feedback, we are looking into this and we do change our models every season. But we must add, that we have a strict policy of only using healthy models from reputable agencies. We really appreciate your feedback and thoughts, and will take these on board at our next casting,
Best wishes
