The first thing on her list was long sundresses, as she said: “It looks so cute and put together”. She went on to recommend pairing it with some trainers and a jumper for when it gets cold.
“Any variation of a long dress like this is cute, and your legs are covered, they’re not touching the seat,” she added.
Long skirts
“Next up, I shockingly approve of long skirts too,” she added.
Sharing an example, she said: “Would I have my toes out? Absolutely not. But with sneakers, this would be perfect.”
