Edition 2: Style secrets with Riana Rae Brown

Out and about in the city - what’s your go-to look to feel put together but comfortable?

I recently invested in a few high-quality pairs of jeans. Well-fitting denim can take you anywhere from a classy lunch date to the kids playground. For a day out in the city you’ll often find me in a pair of high-waisted wide-leg jeans, styled with leathery pointed ankle boots, a cashmere sweater and some elegant gold hoops. It’s a timeless, classy look without much thought.

Travelling with kids - what’s your must-have holiday looks?

Gone are the days when I had the luxury of time to spend on myself on holiday. With a teething, needy baby at my feet, I have a maximum of five minutes to get dressed before my daughter would have you believe I’ve abandoned her for good. That’s why I’ve been loving co-ord sets since becoming a mum; they’re the perfect ‘put together’ look without actually having to spend time figuring out what pairs well with what. Elevate a linen shirt and trouser set with a pair of large statement earrings, oversized sunnies and a wide-brim straw hat for a cute holiday fit.

If you had to pick one high-street brand to shop for the rest of time - who would it be?

I’m an unapologetic loyal customer to Zara because it always seems to nail comparable expensive looks to designer brands for a fraction of the price. As for kids clothes, I can’t walk past Newbie without a quick browse, which inevitably turns into a purchase. They stock the most adorable pieces, and I think the material always feels of higher quality than other high street brands.
