Style tips for a new season

September has just left us and October is always the moment when the weather turns away from the summer moods. All the optimistic predictions of a late Indian summer….. (yeah right, again!!) are now just forgotten dreams, along with winning the lottery, or the fun memories of the summer. Now let’s focus on how to make the most of the new season looks. Yes, defining your look is important, not to say throw out the old collection and go and buy a new wardrobe, no, but do find those wardrobe essentials to freshen up your style credentials. Dresses are the hot thing of the moment, more on that on the next blog. Studs are also still ok, but not for long! For the style tips number 1, go for Chic, with a few quality essentials. Try to evolve your look each week. Gradually get a little more wintery until the true winter is here, (around November!) October is a style month, you can’t avoid it. Embrace and learn from it. It will show you all the fuss about the new shows, London fashion week, Paris fashion week, New York runways……ahhhhhhhhhh The first ‘freshener’ is always colour. Key colours: Soft blush tones, Chino Beige, and Cognac or Tan Light layers, loose longer cardigans, capes or poncho knitwear, combined with fine knit tops and feminine button up t-shirts or blouses. Other key knitwear shapes include loose knits batwing tops, light cable knits, or wrapping collar shapes. Combine the new knitwear with chinos and short boots, ankle boots and top of with a trench coat. For an updated wardrobe you can slip in the slim fit denims from last season while you wait for the mid season sales to kick in on the chinos! Check out the following website for style tips. Cos www.cosstores.com APC www.apc.fr Acne http://shop.acnestudios.com/ Filterlife. www.filterlife.blogspot.com The style tip this season is the trend look, ‘The Beautiful mind’. The look of a romantic heiress with a touch of Parisian chic. Think of old English universities, hanging out in old Libraries, or thumbing through heavy documentation looking for the scoop of the year for the English finals! Think of the romantic secret charms and a love story where we celebrate the beauty of intellectual chic. Faded softened colours, loose easy boyfriend style jeans, a soft seventies mood, warm and rich materials, high waisted pants, turn ups, men style brogue shoes, long scarves and soft sueded hats. The look is relaxed and feminine with a fresh denim mentality. Key items include the trench coat, camel coats, oversized soft touch (cashmere) coat, Old school values, Ties, badges, brooches, satchels, horn rimmed reading glasses, long wrapped cable scarves and a lady like twist, footwear statement. The mood is stylish and can be seen in a dressed up casual style. Feminine details and a flamboyant nonchalance. Fine corduroy and soft oversized knits keep a simple but elegant statement up to date and modern. Sid.
