How To Style Loafers This Winter & Decoding The Smart Casual Dress Code

About this episode

Stylist Hayley Cooper joins Leigh to discuss how to style loafers and decode the smart casual dress code for winter.

Does the term "Smart Casual" send you into a cold sweat? You are not alone. This week, stylist Hayley Cooper joins Leigh to demystify the world’s most confusing dress code. We’re talking about the "Goldilocks" of work bags (no daggy backpacks here!), why your favourite knitwear is pilling, and the exact length to hem your pants so you never ruin a hemline again. Plus, Hayley has scoured the shops to bring us the three pairs of loafers she’s currently obsessed with for every budget.
