It is with great shame that I admit I abandoned this foolproof outfit formula after a man insulted what is now a Suki Waterhouse-approved combo. The outfit in question? Shorts and black tights. The insult? “You really shouldn’t mix the seasons like that,” or something to that effect. Honestly, I don’t remember the exact words—it was a decade ago—but it stuck with me and I’ve always refrained from “mixing the seasons” as a result. Until now.
After seeing paparazzi shots of Suki Waterhouse strolling around Notting Hill, orchid nonchalantly in tow, I’ve decided to abandon that unsolicited advice for good (and swear off styling tips from straight men).
