Winter Warmers; Autumn Fashion at it’s finest!!!
One of the best things about the days getting shorter and the temperature falling is being able to purchase all those lovely winter warmers (jumpers, boots and scarves oh my!). But the top of the winter fashion pyramid is definitely….. the winter coat!
Something I have learned to appreciate is a great winter coat. One in a stand-out colour, with a great embellishment or with a fantastic texture (wool is your best friend) can end up stealing the show from even the most fabulous of party outfits.
I always gravitate to basic styles with an eye catching feature like this grey number with a waterfall neckline:
Pastels are everywhere on the runway, pink in particular, with shades ranging from pale pearl to muted fuchsia, all equally delicious. Long lengths are great as long as you stick to a nicely tailored style:
Now, for all the daring ladies out there, I am absolutely in LOVE with this River Island Camel Coat with colour blocked sleeves and dramatic fur collar and this wild leopard car coat. So out of the box and amazing.
If you’re into the classics, try a twist on a regular trench by grabbing one in a bold hue, like this cranberry coloured one from ASOS:
or Karen Walkers sweet heart print design available at Myer:
Collarless styles are still very much in, try one in a structured fabric which will hold up against the elements. I have a wool one similar to this that I wore 24/7 in NYC this winter. Best purchase ever.
For some drama, try a coat with a dramatic neck like these two little numbers:
So go on, embrace winter (coats!), because who cares what you’re wearing underneath when you look this good?
