Leave it to cool girl brand AllSaints to produce an entire collection we can’t get enough of. A whole range of pieces that look like they could smooth-talk themselves into our wardrobe.
For the modern woman living in the fast-paced world that we do, clothing can’t just be one thing. It needs to be multi-tasking, ready to work as hard as it plays. As if composing a wardrobe from scratch, this London label has all the staples that you need to pull a double shift with your look. For starters, there’s leather you can’t say no to, knitwear that gives you that warm fuzzy feeling and silhouettes that a hanger just can’t do justice. While our appetite for this school of savvy shopping can be easily mentally justified, we still wanted to know: what’s worth its price tag.
We enlisted Radar Radio’s ultimate cool girl Amal Omari to tell us what’s going to future-proof your wardrobe, and what’s worth hitting skip on.
Debrief Changing Room Selfies All Saints
1 of 61. Good Sport
AllSaints, Jones Jumper, £168; AllSaints, Heidi Stripe Jeans, £108'This is just the sort of thing I'd wear day-to-day for work as I have a lot of meetings that you can't wear a tracksuit for. This is smart but just as comfortable. I love the high-neck on the sweater and that the shirt is built in - makes getting ready double quick.'
2 of 62. Jumpin’
AllSaints, Eva Short Dress, £188'I'm currently trying to transition from being a tomboy into a bit of a lady - I'm not trying to go all the way! - so this is really my kind of thing. I love the asymmetric cut, it's much more flattering than your average jumper dress. It's grown and sexy.'
3 of 63. Grey Matter
AllSaints, Eva Dress, £198'This is like the navy dress but, with a double shot of fashion. I like the contrast of the soft cut of with its slit at the front and one-bare shoulder against the thigh-high velvet boots.'
4 of 64. Double Cream
AllSaints, Sura Jumper Dress, £188; AllSaints, Isla Leggings, £128; AllSaints, Donita Boot, £228'I love this cream jumper with the built-in shirt. It's elegant and sexy, but casual still. I like how you could wear it as a dress or unbuttoned with these leggings. I'm a big, big fan! However, I found the leggings fit a little small and as they are very thin I was scared of ripping them.'
5 of 65. The Warm Up
AllSaints, Abigail Crew Jumper, £188; AllSaints, Nichola Kasuri Dress, £218; AllSaints, Donita Boot, £228'Honestly, on a hanger, I didn't think this would work. I thought it would make me look like a granny. But, it's actually my favourite look. I feel like the slits make it a bit edgier and the jumper adds a little grunge to the look. It's a yes from me.'
6 of 66. Layer Cake
Jacket, Model's Own; AllSaints, Daisy Tee, £45; AllSaints, Tonya Lew Silk Dress, £118'When I first saw this I thought the underdress would be short, tight and wouldn't fit me at all because I'm a curvy woman. So, I was pleasantly shocked when it did. I honestly thought it would be a tank top on me. It's actually very versatile, I feel like I could wear it with trainers or heels depending on my mood. But, however, I style it I'd always wear it with the t-shirt over as it's so much more interesting and flattering.'
