Look for timeless pieces that also feature the individuality we all seek in our clothes: good fabrics, clever cuts and pieces you genuinely fall in love with will last longer in your wardrobe and prove to be versatile buys. Take your weekend go-to: the classic blue jeans. By day, wear them with a cream blouse and geo print wrap-cardigan, paired with classic tan accessories to give the outfit a lift. When evening comes, dress the jeans up with this season’s key cocktail blouse: the pussy-bow, which looks fantastic with a metallic heel and matching metal earrings. To chase away the chill, layer over a timeless embroidered jacket.
A hit of bright colour will update your wardrobe in seconds. A bold blazer wakes up darker neutrals – and looks gorgeous over an on-trend, hot pink pussy-bow blouse. Just add jeans to give it a classic edge. As for accessories, decorative hair clips are the new jewellery, and the embroidered, tasselled bag is a lightweight option and perfect to hold your purse, lippy and phone.
Yes! You can mix and clash your prints. Just keep your accessorising simple and have a black blazer on hand to take the look up a notch for evening ensembles. If you’d rather keep it simple, leopard print gets a thoroughly modern makeover with a bold new colour palette. Simply accessorise to match the dress’ tones, slouchy knee-high boots and a statement earring finish the look.
Leather is a key trend for AW19 and the fluid midi skirt is a more flattering go-to than leather trousers. Add a boho twist with ankle boots and a wide-brim hat and a S.E.W embroidered blouse.
If you’re not feeling the party dress this season, then the jumpsuit could be your new best friend. This classic marries a flattering tweaked shoulder detail with a crop leg and contrast detail on the belt and shoulder. Alternatively, a glamorous shimmer blouse, the perfect tuxedo jacket and your go-to trousers will see you stylishly through the festive season.
