A look back at my Who What Wear stories will tell you that not only do I have a penchant for British fashion, but I also have a proven admiration for the style of British fashion and lifestyle influencer Lucy Williams. I mean, how could I not? Williams’s outfits are always chic and incredibly cool all at once. One thing that dawned on me recently is that her ensembles seem to always be ahead of the curve, much like the Olsen twins. She’ll wear one thing, and months to years later, the fashion community follows suit—myself included.
This season there are five key pieces that Williams has been wearing that have caught my eye. From a cardigan with a classic print to a stellar night-out top and elegant winter hat, each cool piece is guaranteed to bring your outfit to the next level. Keep scrolling to see how Williams styles them all along with my top picks for getting each inspiring look.
