Edits-9.jpg
Edits-13.jpg

Winter is in the air, which means it’s time to grab your coats and wrap up warm against those chilly Winter mornings. If you coat has seen better days then now is the time to invest in a new one, something that’s both stylish and practical, warm yet flattering - hard to find right? Then let me guide you through which silhouettes, fabrics and shapes will keep you looking upto date and see you through the cold days.

No matter how varied your style is I bet that there’s one item of clothing you wear day in, day out: your winter coat. So why not make it the best item you buy all year. A good coat should be at the very core of everyone’s cold-weather wardrobe, and can last for years, if not decades. Plus, a nice coat is a way to dress up without having to do much. You can throw on a leopard print wool coat over a hoodie and jeans for a midday walk with a friend or swaddle yourself in a full-length puffer that makes you feel like you’re still in the comfort of your own bed when you are on the school run. There are so many different styles out there right now it’s hard to chose just one.

But that’s my top tip, don’t limit yourself to just one coat thinking that it will be fine for every occasion you might have in your life. Think about you lifestyle, what do you do, work, kids, dog, social, hobbies, where and when do you wear your coat for will dictate what you need. Each coat can give you a different look, be more practical than another one, or make a statement, you have to think about what is important to you and it might be you need 3 coats to tick every box in your life.

Over the past few weeks I’ve shopped coats for clients and for myself, so I can guarantee you will find your new favourite from my list below.

The lockdown trend everyone is crazy for

The official quarantine uniform of lockdown 2020 has to be tie-dye!

Synonymous with the 1960’s, tie-dye will forever be associated with a free-spirited hippy lifestyle. In 2019 catwalk runways predicted the return of the blended brightly coloured print, but last year it didn’t make much of an impact, that is until lockdown happened in 2020. Tie dye has become the latest lockdown fashion winner.

There has been a massive trend towards people at home tie-dying their t-shirts, joggers, dresses and anything else they can get hold of. People are becoming obsessed with tie-dying their clothes that it’s become the hottest quarantine pastime. Search terms such as ‘DIY tie-dye’ and ‘tie-dye sweatshirt’ surged in popularity on Google and You Tube over the past couple of weeks. One of the positives of this trend is that people are upcycling clothes they already own without leaving the house.

Celebs such as Laura Whitmore have been showcasing their tie-dye wardrobes on Instagram. Other Instagram influencers have been using the pastime to get their kids involved whilst home schooling.

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.
