In this bi-weekly series, we share how to steal the style of the rich and famous – at a lesser price point. This week, the Herald’s Lana Andelane breaks down Gwyneth Paltrow’s effortless everyday look; perfect for parenting duties and on-the-go errands. The end of the school year is nigh upon us, but parent duties never stop.

While comfort and practicality are key, there’s no need to sacrifice style. Take a leaf out of Gwyneth Paltrow’s look-book and opt for relaxed silhouettes: think wide-leg denim, effortlessly slouchy knits, on-the-go footwear and a capacious tote – just maybe not a Birkin. Inject personality with accessories, from don’t-talk-to-me eyewear to pops of simple jewellery.
