WOVCOR

Argyle Pattern Crew Neck Knitted Sweater

An oversized Argyle pattern gives this jumper a similar look to Gillan's knitted piece. The red is bold and bright, with the navy tone contrasting it beautifully while also adding a neutral, wearable hue to the versatile jumper.

Women's Long Sleeve Cotton Argyle V-Neck Sweater

An easy-going, relaxed fit makes this jumper ideal for pairing with jeans or tailored trousers. The preppy design will pair well with denim and navy hues in particular, while the bold red hue adds plenty of brightness.

Levi's

721 High Rise Skinny Jeans

If you haven't already got a pair of black skinny jeans in your capsule wardrobe, you can't go wrong with this classic Levi's pair. A high waist elongates the leg, while the jeans themselves aren't too tight or overly skinny for a flattering finish.

Whistles

Navy Amalia Longline Coat

Available in both regular and petite, this Whistles coat is a great alternative to get Gillian's style. A timeless silhouette means it can be worn with both casual looks and occasion wear, with its navy tone perfectly versatile.

Forever Comfort® Knee High Biker Boots

Shoppers say these stylish boots are 'very comfortable and good quality,' with their knee high silhouette making them a sleek style to pair with skinny jeans. Plus they feature Next's Forever Comfort insole for added comfort.

While biker boots might not be the first choice of footwear when we think of spring/summer shoe trends for 2026, they’re a great style tool for jeans outfits on cool spring days.

Heritage fashion remains a strong theme for the first half of 2026, and Gillian's red and navy sweater executes the look with ease. Keeping the rest of her outfit pared back and neutral, she allows the burst of red in the print to be the accent to the whole look. And of course, red is one of the biggest spring/summer fashion colour trends for 2026.

Recently becoming Chief Compliments Officer for British clothing brand M&S, there is no doubt that Gillian has become quite the fashion icon and this simple jeans and a jumper outfit cements why her elegant, timeless, but contemporary style is so admired.
