Starting modelling at the age of 15, Kelly Horrigan has spent most of her life working in fashion surrounded by beautiful clothes. When it comes to her own off-duty style, she favours simple, monochrome looks she can rewear in different ways. She shares a week in her wardrobe below.
MONDAY
I started the week hanging out with my son Louie at soft play followed by some errands and admin so I opted for a simple cosy knit and wide-leg pants. You will never catch me without a hoop earring, it’s my go-to accessory. I feel like they elevate every outfit and since I’m a die-hard slick-bun girl, they are a must for adding a little something something. I’ve gotten to that phase of motherhood where I don’t need to carry everything and anything when we go out so I’ve been loving dressing up my looks with cute bags again. This was something I really missed when I had to carry the kitchen sink in my giant baby bag! Louie and I pretty much always have coordinating looks but most of the time he’s better dressed than me!
TUESDAY
I headed into town today for a beautiful lunch so I wanted something a little bit more glam. I get so much wear out of this black maxi skirt, it’s super easy to dress up with boots or heels but it looks equally cool with trainers. I paired the skirt with a leather jacket my dad gave me from his 90s wardrobe and some kitten-heel boots. I love playing around with the shape of this jacket– today I tucked it up for a boxy silhouette.
WEDNESDAY
I started my day early filming in Virgin Media and then I was back in full Mommy mode so comfort is key today. I’m wearing a classic jeans and T-shirt look for ultimate ease. I’m obsessed with this Hanna Schönberg x NA-KD trench. I got it a few seasons ago, it’s super long and oversized and makes any simple outfit look so much cooler. I added a cap to distract from my very tired-looking eyes after a sleepless night with Louie and an early start. Louie is wearing an oversized hoodie, some straight-leg trousers and his classic Vans.
THURSDAY
I was back in town today for a meeting. I wanted something that looked put together but comfy so I went back to my trusty black maxi skirt, this time pairing it with a T-shirt and blazer. I love pairing classic, tailored shapes with more casual pieces! These loafers are so comfy, I can stomp around in them all day and I like how they change the look of the skirt that I’ve already worn this week. I am obsessed with skinny scarfs at the moment, I have to stop myself from putting them with every outfit but today was a skinny scarf day.
FRIDAY
Today was a shoot day so I generally keep it casual as I’m only wearing my own clothes for hair and makeup. Wearing something simple that I can slip over my hair is important so I almost have a uniform that I wear to set – comfy pants, a tank and a cardigan to dress it up. I’m back in my loafers and I added my work bag; a vintage Neverfull.
SATURDAY
Tonight we went for some cocktails and dinner so I opted for this classic black satin maxi dress topped with a structured blazer and some boots. I love simple, monochrome looks that I can wear again and again. I’ve worn this dress so many different ways – topped with jumpers, over tees or shirts – and it’s so versatile.
SUNDAY
As for most people, Sunday is a reset day for me so I spent it in these comfy adidas track pants and a warm wool jumper layered over a simple white tee. I added this cute silver bag for fun. We grabbed a coffee with Louie and went for a walk before cuddling up on the sofa for a Sesame Street marathon (for the hundredth time!). As if these adidas wide legs aren’t cosy enough, I was in my pyjamas by 3pm ready for my Sunday roast.
