Outfits to go walking in

November 13, 2020

It is a question I am getting asked the most right now due to our current situation. But I do feel like alot of these suggestions can also cross over to weekend wear, school run outfits and general casual looks so I’m not just aiming these at the dogwalkers out there but giving you inspiration aswell as practical tips for some inspirational outfits to walk in.

It’s a hard look to pull off looking stylish whilst walking, not wanting to muddy your favourite jeans, but also wanting to stay warm and not sweat too. The most important elements to your walking outfit is coats/jackets and shoes. This is a formula that I use for all clients when starting with their wardrobe, investing in coats and shoes will be the best money you could spend. But when out walking you need to take alot more practical things into consideration, waterproofing jackets and footwear, comfort of clothes, pockets in jackets and warm but lightweight layers that don’t make you sweat.

So I have pulled together some outfits that I hope will inspire you to want to dress more stylish on those walks but also ticking the practical box too.

Best Winter coats for 2020

November 6, 2020

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 only dress you need this Winter

October 16, 2020

The knitted dress returns

It’s been a while since the jumper dress has been fashionable, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been fashionable as I have been wearing mine for years, it just means it’s been hard to find any good ones to buy every Autumn. But this year it’s the only dress you will need this season. It’s cosy and warm and wraps you up which let’s face it is just how we want to feel right now. Knitwear is the best part of Autumn dressing so why not make it your whole outfit and embrace the knitted dress.

To some the knitted dress is unforgiving against their body shape, makes you hotter than a hot water bottle and just looks itchy. With an abundance of choices out there, all these excuses to not buy a jumper dress can be dismissed. Ribbed fabrics are being used, flattering lengths, different necklines and also detailing such as open backs and self belts. Most importantly they are cosy, especially now we are home more, comfort is important, this dress will see you through your lockdown days. This will be the most useful piece you buy given our current paired down lifestyles right now. Just pair it with chunky boots or trainers and you will be suitable for any occasion in the coming months.
