Warming thoughts as autumn days approach
As we prepare to pack away our swimsuits, shorts and floaty dresses, now is the perfect time to think about what we want to fill our wardrobe with this autumn/winter.
The great thing about the new seasons ahead is the fact it’s all about reviving pieces we already own with just a few additions and tweaks to make our look stand out.
Puffa jackets are back. Yes, the jackets that make you feel as if you’ve not stepped out from under your duvet were all the rage on the catwalks with the tailored lines of the military look also making a comeback.
For all of us who fear a skinny jean, we can sigh with relief because wide legged trousers are a key look this season. Sequins are always big at this time of year, and this year is no exception, with indulgent velvet also taking centre stage, and chunky, utility style boots offering something practical as well as trendy.
But if you aren’t able to add any big, new pieces to your wardrobe then a pair of new earrings are a must. Make sure they are big and bold, as they are the ultimate way to dress up an outfit.
