New season - new wardrobe… again?!

Does the new season coming fill you with dread at the thought of trying to keep up with brand new fashion - again?! Or excited in anticipation to discover what colours, cuts and looks have been dreamt up to keep us warm and gorgeous over the coming months? Heading to the shops at this time of year can be overwhelming- so here are a few tips to keep you up to date without breaking the bank…

First you will need your staple wardrobe working well. These are the pieces that you need every year and don’t really change that much. They will vary depending on your lifestyle and climate but as a guide a good staple wardrobe for Autumn/Winter would be- 

Tops- a good white shirt, white and black t-shirt/casual style top, wool/cashmere jumper, silk/dress shirt or top
Bottoms- black trousers, casual jeans, good jeans, good skirt and a casual skirt (cut to flatter your shape)
Dress- casual dress (jersey or shirt style), little black dress (or evening equivalent), nicer dress (that can be dressed up or down)
Shoes- boots, heels, converse style trainers/comfy casual shoes
Other- mid weight coat, leather jacket or other casual jacket

Once you have the staples you need you can use trends to keep your wardrobe relevant by buying a few key pieces every season. Accessories are a great way to update your wardrobe relatively inexpensively. Try a hat, fun necklace or scarf to transform something from mediocre to fabulous!

Don't be scared to try new things - they might just suit you!! Get into the 70s vibe this A/W and check out the following hot trends- culottes, capes, fringing, suede, long (long) boots, I could go on…

Don’t forget the most important thing- have fun with it and feel great in your clothes!
