When it involves getting dressed, this is often a tricky time of year. With an entire host of new fashion collections just hitting the high street, and with the weather changing every five minutes, how are you able to hope to get your look just right? Fashion writer Torri Mundell is here to help.
Well, if your wardrobe is crammed with some of our hard-working classic pieces and a smattering of the new season’s must-haves, it is a breeze. Just follow our guidelines for a fool-proof and classy look that will never let you down.
- statement jewellery
- layering pieces
- monochrome
- prints
- bold colour
- sixties style
Head-turning accessories do not have to cost a fortune. In fact, a number of the coolest pieces of the season come in slick, glossy plastic, though we’re still loving graphic jewellery in gleaming silver and gold too.
Use a number of evans’ eye-catching pieces to highlight your favourite feature: for instance, wear a chunky necklace to stress strong collar bones, or wear a wide shiny cuff to draw attention to slim wrists. But with pieces this bold, remember that less is more – one accessory per outfit is simply right.
The trick to not looking swamped by too many clothes is to settle on something fitted for your innermost layer – like a slim long-sleeve jersey under a short-sleeve sweater, or trim leggings under an a-line denim skirt. If you would like to adopt the look for the office, try lightweight fabrics; evans’ fine-knit sweaters and cardigans look polished worn over a crisp white shirt and paired with wide leg trousers.
Layering pieces
In a rare coincidence of fissionability and practicality, layering may be a key look for the autumn season. But trendiness aside, the layered look is right at helping you keep up with the ever-changing weather.
Ever since Chanel made it chic, black and white is one among fashion’s timeless colour combinations, and monochrome made an appearance on almost every catwalk this season. it is a foolproof style formula, because it looks instantly polished and will blend seamlessly with everything in your wardrobe. Flatter your figure by wearing it in solid blocks of colour (black trousers with a white shirt flatters pear shapes, while a black tunic top and white trousers accentuates great legs). Otherwise you’ll shake up your wardrobe with swirly prints or monochrome checks and stripes for sixties-inspired chic.
Our favourite feature of the black and white look
It’s an ideal foil for killer accessories, whether you fancy a red leather bag or bold gold hoop earrings.
Prints aren’t just the reserve of your summer holiday wardrobe, they’re the good way to liven up your winter clothes.
Patterned tops tend to be the foremost flattering way to wear print as they draw attention to your face.
But if you select to wear a print from top to toe, a little uniform design will keep the eye moving. And animal prints always have plenty of sex appeal – the evans zebra print bag will add a fashionable edge to almost any outfit. Vibrant colour was the most important fashion story on the catwalks, and it is a great antidote to our darker, colder weather.
