DISCOVER OLIVIA WAYMAN'S SELECTIONI would describe my personal style as minimal and classic with a twist. My own style icons include various, often very different people who's style Ieave also looked up to. For example, I love the Olsen Twins for their relaxed yet elevated approach, but I also love Jackie Kennedy for her preppy put together looks.
The first thing that comes to mind is ankle boots with visible socks further up the ankle, perhaps I wore this when I was 13 and scarred myself.
The perfect black blazer or coat, they will never go out of style.
I grew up in the English countryside and have recently moved back, when I'm not in the city I love to blend country/city style together and the Clelia Speckled Jacket is the perfect example. Paired that with the black wool crepe trousers and that is my ideal outfit. I wear it whether I'm in the City or on a walk around the village at home.
Not that I realised until I was 21 but my fiance actually grew up 20 minutes away from me in the countryside. This means luckily we both get to spend the holidays with each other, at home, with a little ferrying between each other’s family homes! I am such a creature of habit and my ideal holiday look is a strong jacket, silk cami and tailored trousers. It's comfy, chic and I can wear it to anything.
