STYLE CLINIC:
With Stephanie Mensah
DEAR Stylist, with the weather recently taking a turn for the worst I think its time for me to invest in a new winter coat. Though my priority is to stay super warm, comfortable and cosy, I don’t want to have to compromise on style. Do you have any suggestions for how I master both?
It’s no secret that a lot of women like to look good, feel comfortable and are happy to spend a bit more money to ensure they are getting the highest quality. As the mercury drops and we’re faced with snow and bitterly cold temperatures a big, warm coat is an absolute wardrobe must-have.
Once synonymous with the great outdoors, Moncler is a brand known today for being a firm favourite for fashionistas wanting to stay stylish in the colder months. Made from carefully selected duck down and a special polyamide lining, Moncler has established itself as a world-class outerwear brand. With an array of different styles, there’s a Moncler jacket for all body shapes, sizes and personal tastes.
The belt on this quilted cost (£850) is perfect for clinching in the waist and creating a more womanly shape. With toggles, a double zip fastening through the front and a padded hood, balance the full silhouette of this ultra cosy cover-up with skinny jeans and sleek ankle boots.
For those looking for a waist length jacket why not try Moncler’s Ire lightweight jacket (£580)?
Fully lined with two concealed zip fastening pockets, grosgrain trims and an internal drawstring waist, this jacket is perfect for walks in the park, shopping in town or weekend breaks away in the countryside.
My advice for dressing any type of Moncler jacket would be to team it with something simple. Try a well-fitting pair of trousers or jeans in a neutral tone and finish off with a pair of dark coloured brogues or ankle boots to create the casual yet polished Moncler look.
