I often get asked by clients husbands or partners what their better halves would like for their Christmas presents. Men want to get it right but they often don’t know where to start. This year has been a strange one but whether you’re gifting your Mum, sister, friend, wife or daughter I always take alot of time thinking about what that special person would like, what suits them and what would they not buy for themselves so that it is something special. So if you are looking for some super stylish gifting inspiration here is my top 10 gifts for that special someone in your life, or why not treat yourself to a gift, you will most definitely deserve it!

The only thing you want right now is a great hoodie

Since last weekend when I took a look at my ‘isolation wardrobe’ and reassessed what I had that was comfy and will become my uniform over the coming weeks until the weather warmed up, I became obsessed with finding the perfect hoodie to alleviate my daily looks. Once a wardrobe ‘basic’ the hoodie has been slowly making it’s rise on the style ladder and is currently the UK’s most searched for fashion staple right now. In the current climate of stay-at-home outfits we are all craving the comfort - whether it be emotionally or physically - and your clothes is an obvious place to start.

While hoodies have long been a street-wear staple, for the rest of us it was only something you would wear to the gym or round the house. Pre-corona virus it was having a style resurgence with many luxury brands using the hoodie as symbol of fashion nous and wealth whilst some of the most influential brands became reliant on it’s best selling ability. It is now become a staple of contemporary dress and however you style it gives your look a chic simplicity that appeals to everyone.

But for now, in 2020, the hoodie is not a social signifier, a high priced fashion commodity or wealth status, it is a source of comfort, one that we all need.

Your isolation wardrobe

As we start this journey together (I appreciate some of you might have been in isolation for a week or so now), I know that daily I am going through a roller-coaster different emotions and feelings, moments of happiness for what we have currently and thoughts of sadness at what the next few months of our lives bring. One thing is for certain that we will be spending A LOT of time in and around our own houses, never venturing outside to go to jobs, run errands, do the school run, meet up for coffee or pop to the gym. The photos above is what I am going to wearing on repeat over the next few weeks until the weather starts warming up.

Life has changed and so must our dressing habits. When we have downtime at home be honest most of us pop on our ‘comfies’, which can be an old pair of tracksuit bottoms, activewear, PJ’s, onesies or purposely brought lounge-wear. When helping women detox their wardrobes there is always an acceptance that we have and we wear lounge-wear around the house, but I always insist we clear it out so this doesn’t get too full of old t-shirts, sweaters and tracksuits that have holes in them and are no longer wearable.

This morning I cleared my drawer of PJ’s, old yoga pants and sweaters and popped a few bits in the clothing bank whilst off out on a walk with my family. So now I know what I want and what I’m missing from my 'isolation wardrobe’, it’s time to start shopping. I have broken it down into categories for inspiration for you, for what you need and please, only buy pieces that work for you as trips to send parcels back to the retailers at the post office or local shops is not something all of us are capable of doing in isolation.

Animal instincts - how to wear coloured leopard print

I have written many blog posts about Leopard print over the years, for me it is one of the fail-safe prints that never goes out of style, out of fashion and always makes a statement. Over the years I have collected many pieces of Leopard print items for myself from coats, to shoes, to bags and a skirt, and I often advise clients to add the print into their wardrobe if in nothing more than accessories to liven up an evening outfit. This season Leopard print is having its moment in the spotlight and has been in every fashion magazine, glossy supplement and style website for the past month as it is a great transitional print and can update your outfit in an instant. But the tones in the Leopard do not suit everyone. If you are choosing a Leopard print that is predominantly stone then this can often drain you of any colour in your cheeks as it might not the right stone.

So know this for Autumn, fashion is really, really wild for animal print. Right now on the highstreet you can get Leopard print in an array of different colours so you can match your favourite print to your perfect colour. Why not go bright and zingy in your leopard print choices, you are already making a statement with the print so go that extra style mile and choose it in the right colour for you.
