In celebration of the newest Whistles store opening in Covent Garden, Fashion Editor Donna Wallace headed into the store during London Fashion Week. The renowned stylist and creative consultant, known for her impeccable eye and effortless outfits, joined us to explore the Autumn Winter 2024 collection. Here, she shared insightful tips for layering, how to get the most out of transitional pieces, and also curated her top picks for the season ahead. From statement outerwear to elevated wardrobe staples, discover her carefully chosen edit to bring polish to your everyday.

Next, she opted for the Faye Clean Bonded Trench, which is the newest addition to the Clean Bonded collection. This premium trench coat is the ultimate in Autumn Winter tactility and a real investment piece to treasure for years to come. Another leather piece Donna calls out is the Rachel Patent Skirt, which blends a classic pencil silhouette with a high-shine finish — it’s a fresh take on the business suit.

For accessories, Donna looked to our Laurina Utility Pockets Bag, which she advised was perfect for daytime, while the Erica Snake Shoulder Bag is a statement choice to easily enliven new season looks.

For a smart look, Donna suggests our Mia Elongated Waist Blazer, which she paired with our wide-legged Frida Trousers — together, it’s a cool, contemporary take on business dress that feels appropriate to wear to a bar. To infuse it with a nighttime feel, slip our Sequin Tie Front Top underneath for a hint of glamour. Complete your look with the Ames Chunky Loafers, ensuring comfort without compromising on style throughout the evening. Don’t overlook the finishing touches, either: our Heart Cord Necklace is a fine accent that’s fuss-free but brings a little something extra.
