Style Pour Moi News

Yes, it’s that time of the year again when you’re thinking about investing in a few woollies and something decent to brave the cold on your way to the office.

If like me you’ve barely worn any of your summer dresses and have become an expert in layering (thank you Oh Rubbish Summer), then it won’t be long before you’ll be packing away your summer gear and start putting together your new winter wardrobe.

Now there are many many trends out there at the moment, which I’m sure you’ve all heard about already, (don’t worry I’m not asking you to recite them to me by heart). The good news is they’re almost all wearable, extremely flattering and you’re bound to find something irresistable amongst them all. So here are a few highlights of what’s just out there:

Ladylike

Curves are in for a treat as you’ll be able to show them off in some fifties, mad men inspired, beautifully flattering  garments this season, adding a pretty and feminine touch to your wardrobe. I’m not saying you need to go as far as wearing long gloves and bouffant hair to get the whole effect (unless you’d like to of course!) but it might be worth investing in a few “stand out” pieces that will see you through any civil wedding, birthday lunch party or christening to come.

Classic

The classic chic is back (I don’t think it was ever gone but there’s more of it now in the shops). Simple styling is an easy and elegant way of keeping a classic sophisticated look. From wool skirts, to silk shirts and stylish brogues, you’ll also be able to find a wide range of trousers to complete your work wardrobe; from peg legged to high wasted large trousers, look for a style that suits your body shape. Go for a block colour and match with a pretty blouse or white shirt for that minimalist look.

Camel

If I hear one more time that Camel is the new black I might never wear the colour again. I have a few aunts who ‘ve sworn by the colour since I’ve known them and have retained a very “bon chic, bon genre” look by doing so for decades. Now they’ll be happy to see that many of us will join “team camel” as it was the colour that dominated the catwalk this season. Rather than going camel crazy, look for a shade that suits your colour complexion to avoid looking too washed out. Also try combining the colour with refined garment materials such as  wool,cashmere, jersey or silk to really optimise its chic effect.

There are plenty more things out there for you to explore (and which I’ll touch on soon).

Enjoy and remember that the important thing is that you find pieces that inspire you to create your own style, something you feel and look good in aswell as giving your wardrobe a boost.

Till next time (I promise not to leave it so long), x Cat.
