These 4 Clever Pieces Will Make You Finally Ditch Your Coat, by Angela Scanlon

Hi, Who What Wear UK Readers! 

It’s that in-between time when wearing a coat is both necessary and inappropriate. We’ve been bundled in swathes of wool and cashmere, polyester and whatever that fabric is that thinks it’s silk but is actually flammable. Anyway, the point is we’ve been layered up like onions and now is the time when the peeling must begin. If you’re with me, strip! Not fully, but do start to consider lightening the load.

Who is your style icon?

I can't pick just one. I like Charlotte Gainsbourg. She's brave, there's a constant tomboy streak, a nonchalance and she looks great in trousers! Lou Doillon and Alison Mosshart for similar, slightly scruffier reasons. Patti Smith, Annie Hall, Chloë Sevigny... Shall I go on?

Who are your 5 favorite people to follow on Instagram?

@ManRepeller; @PandoraSykes; @PeacockBride; @BlanaidHennessey; @MillicentHailes

What's the fashion essential you can’t live without?

Jeans. In every guise imaginable. They're the only piece of clothing I could not imagine life without... Life without denim would be depressing!

What's your desert island album?

Villagers, Becoming a Jackal; The Sound of The Smiths; The Cure, Greatest Hits.
