It’s true that I am well dressed. I don’t know what to wear anymore. I’m in my mid-30s and I do like being trendy, but I’m really over mindless consumption, writes Brooke Boney | OPINION fashion
I don’t expect any sympathy from you but I suffer from the rare misfortune of having some extremely stylish friends. One is the editor of, one used to be, and another is often named in best-dressed lists. When I visit their houses, there’ll be models, designers, stylists – the beautiful people. Boo-f…ing-hoo, you might say. But please, stay with me on this.
It’s true that I am well dressed. And I can make that statement without feeling self-conscious or as if I’m abandoning all humility because there is a team of people who buy clothes, make sure they fit me and then style them before I wear them on TV. Then mostly I just copy the look elsewhere. I think we could also learn a thing or two from Dame Helen Mirren, who apparently doesn’t pack anything when she goes on holidays. She travels with a carry-on bag and then stops at a charity shop wherever she lands. Once she’s done, she donates it all back before she leaves. I don’t mind wearing second-hand clothes at all, but I do mind smelling like mothballs and I really mind looking like I’m going to a costume party.
