Here's how to turn a summer dress into a winter essential the Carol V way...

Carol V went into Karen Millen yesterday and she LOVED loads of the pieces, including this khaki military-style dress she’s wearing today. Lace sleeves make it a bit more feminine, and because there’s so much going on with her dress – the silver, the lace – she doesn’t need to wear any jewellery. Her shoes are quite cool too, because they’ve got a silver spiked heel that really matches her dress.

 

Lisa looks lovely in grey, and the soft ruffles of a top like this one from Jaeger are great if you’re petite like her.

 

Carol McGiffin is in her own Rick Owens jacket, her own trousers by J Brand and a Kenneth Cole t-shirt.

 

Denise is in head-to-toe Fizz – which is a little boutique in Cheshire where she gets a lot of her clothes. She’s rocking the red trend which is big for autumn and it suits everybody – you just have to find the right shade.

Sally is wearing an embellished-neck kaftan from Isme, which can work for either summer or winter wardrobes.
