Closet challenge: steal their style

We all know the feeling. You’ve tried on everything in your wardrobe and yet, you have nothing to wear. A whole new outfit could be closer to home than you think. Try raiding someones else’s wardrobe (with permission, of course) instead of reaching for the ASOS website – you might be surprised at how good you look in someone else’s clothes.

To get you feeling inspired, Stitch Up! challenged our editorial team and readers to steal the style of someone a little unexpected and rate what they found.

Anna’s story: Why I love wearing real fur

My love for real fur was triggered at age five or six. When playing in my grandparents’ house with my cousin, we discovered my late grandmother’s wardrobe. It was just incredible. It had silk dresses, high heels and a beautiful cropped white-rabbit-fur jacket. My cousin and I used to dress up and create short films with my aunt’s camera where we would play worldly women. As we were so little, the jacket fitted us like an ankle-length coat and had this regal feeling that we loved so much.
