The Groes Girls // Series 003 Sophie-Rose Harper.
At GROES, personal style is a quiet confidence - defined not by trends, but by intention. Our pieces are made to move with you, to be worn and re-worn, and to complement the life you lead.
We’re continuing our GROES Girls series - a celebration of the creatives, customers and friends of the brand who inspire us with their sense of style and purpose.
This time, we spoke with Sophie-Rose Harper, the founder of SR Pilates W10 - a beautifully curated studio tucked just off Golborne Road. Known for her classical method, refined taste, and grounded energy, Sophie-Rose shares her take on movement, style, and the staples that shape her summer wardrobe.
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT WARDROBE STAPLE FOR SUMMER?
I’m obsessed with 'culotte' shorts, not too short and not too long. Lately I’ve been wearing a suit style short from Massimo Dutti and ripped jean shorts from Agolde.
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT GO-TO ACTIVEWEAR BRAND? ANY FAVOURITE PIECES?
I’ve traded tight leggings for loose joggings, I especially love wearing Angie Smith x The Upside collaboration. They’re the perfect school green and feel great to move in.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST PLAYLISTS DURING YOUR CLASSES, WHO IS YOUR CURRENT FAVOURITE ARTIST/ALBUM FOR SUMMER?
Though I didn’t go to Glastonbury this year, I did watch a lot of it, and saw performances from Maribou State - it blew my mind! Their new record Hallucinating Love has been playing on repeat this week.
YOUR STYLE IS SO EFFORTLESS, WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO DRESSING AND STYLING YOUR WARDROBE?
I go for vintage finds first from Vinted, Vestiaire, Rellick and Found & Vision - or any vintage shop I find in the city I’m in. My approach is often to ask myself before buying, “Will I still be wearing it in 10 years?” Then it’s a must. I try to avoid buying something that’s of the moment or a trend, and instead add in block colours or a classic stripe.
WHICH INVESTMENT PIECES DO YOU RELY ON ALL YEAR ROUND?
I rely on a good shirt - whether it’s layered over a white tank or just sits perfectly on its own. I cannot get enough of the GROES pinstripe blue shirt - the fit is oversized yet tailored in all the right places.
