We could all do with a capsule wardrobe to simplify getting dressed on busy mornings, from the perfect pair of jeans to that everyday blazer that instantly make you feel pulled together.

Now that a new season is officially here, it's time to reintroduce those autumn essentials that we'll rely on over the weeks to come – and we're taking serious inspo from Millie Mackintosh, who just showcased her go-to formula for working days where she's also juggling the nursery drop-off.

Her one essential for this time of year? A classic striped top from trusty Boden for 'Parisian chic' vibes.

In a new reel shared on her Instagram account, Millie chatted through her fail-sale formula, which included a flattering pair of Joseph wide-leg jeans, paired and simple Ba&sh black blazer.

She finished things off with the shoe of the moment – the ballet flat – which has made its way back onto the style agenda after years in the fashion wilderness.

Chatting about the beauty of a Breton tee, Millie said: "The second thing you can never go wrong with in your wardrobe when you want to get dressed quickly is a couple of great stripy tops because they just go with everything. This stripy tee is from Boden. They do such good basics."

While all of the pieces in Millie's reel are all old, Boden's striped long-sleeved T-shirts are one of the brand's staples that they redo season after season, so you can find the same style on their site.

We're pretty into Millie's Mango bow detail ballet flats too, which are still available for £45.99 on the brand's website in black.

We might just have to emulate this whole look.
