Donna Ida’s Style Notes

Denim queen Donna Ida shares her style secrets with us.


How would you define your style?
My style is basic with luxe accessories. Jeans are my uniform, so I wear them everyday from J Brand to Paige to Mih to Nobody…I have so many different pairs to choose from. I wear them with basic tees from Kain or LNA and always wear some signature jewellery and super high heels.
What makes a person stylish?
I believe style is all about confidence. When you feel good in what you are wearing, it really shows.
Who is your style crush right now?
I have a few – Diane Kruger, Rachel Zoe, Nicole Ritchie.
What item can you not live without?
My black Stella McCartney jacket is a classic, it goes with everything.
Is there anyone or anything that inspires your style?
Just simple chic women. I like a timeless look with modern updates.
What is this season’s must have?
Coloured skinnies have literally flown off the shelves at Donna Ida in every colour you can think of including hot pink, red, blue and green.
Name one crime against fashion:
Wearing something you’re not comfortable in……and velour tracksuits.
If you could give one piece of style advice what would it be?
Invest in good quality basics and build your wardrobe on those. Start with jeans!

Celebs love J Brand Houlihans

If, like us, you rate the oh so stylish Jessica Alba, Kate Bosworth and Rachel Bilson  then you may have noticed that they have a similar taste in trousers. Not quite skinny jean nor cargo pant, the J Brand Houlihan is the style of choice and it’s selling fast.

The military trend has been around for a while now but it’s still riding high in the fashion charts. The J Brand Houlihan is not your traditional slouchy cargo pant though. It is far more tailored and slim-fitting. They’re more like a pair of skinny jeans, but with the added detail of oversized flap pockets at the thigh and gold-tone zippered legs. The  seam runs down the centre and diagonally across the knees for a slim fit.

J Brand Houlihans are available in a choice of natural colours, including  olive and shark skin. Also look out for the vintage navy.

Ideal for easy summer dressing, team your Houlihans with a simple vest top and metallic flat sandals or utilitarian boots as shown here by Jessica Alba.

J Brand Houlihan jeans are available at Donna Ida, £245
