ELLEN SAYS “Yes! One of my favourite ways to work this is with extras. Boyish shoes are hot in silver or gold. It’s the new neutral.”

“Sci-fi chic can be understated. Ways around a foil faux-pas include shimmering knitwear (perfect over a crisp shirt) or tailored trousers in a muted brocade print.”
