Yahoo Finance Holly Willoughby’s & Other Stories shirt is the perfect spring buy
Holly’s chic smocked shirt is from & Other Stories
(The Independent)Whether you’re personally smitten by her style or not, there’s no denying that Holly Willoughby’sThis Morning outfits have now become as much of a talking point as any of the stories featured on the show itself – and today’s look is no exception.
Holly’s attire appears to have well and truly shifted into spring mode this week, with floral dresses and patterned blouses taking centre stage.
Today’s ensemble is a masterclass in high street-meets-high-end dressing, as she’s partnered a smocked shirt from & Other Stories with a checked tweed skirt from Sandro Paris (we’re getting strong Cher Horowitz vibes from the latter).

As part of the same family of brands as H&M, Monki, Arket and Cos, it’s no surprise that & Other Stories specialises in bringing Scandi chic to the masses at pleasingly accessible prices.
Sandro, meanwhile, veers slightly towards the more luxury end of the spectrum, which means that this look perfectly demonstrates the high-low approach that’s earned Holly legions of followers on her #hwstyle hashtag.

Does Holly Willoughby wear her own clothes on This Morning?
Holly Willoughby has a stylist for This Morning who works with her to compile her wardrobe, rather than wearing her own clothes.
Speaking to Red in 2020, she revealed that putting together an outfit “hasn’t always come naturally” – “for a long time, I was pretty clueless,” she admitted – and while her Instagram feed when she’s not working says otherwise, featuring an array of equally stylish ensembles in our books, this is likely why she looks to the expertise on the professionals on screen.
Who is Holly Willoughby’s stylist?
Danielle Whiteman became Holly Willoughby’s regular This Morning stylist towards the end of 2020, replacing Angie Smith – Danielle is a previous assistant of Angie’s, who is now based in Sydney and expecting her first child.
Angie is often credited with having engineered Holly’s transformation to national fashion icon in recent years: “Holly was open to new ideas,” she explained during an interview with YOU magazine. “The main thing I wanted to do was get her into more colour – so we tried everything on and went from there. I remember her saying, “I’ve had my kids. I just need to change it up.””
