As temperatures plummet, this is the best time to update your wardrobe to include this seasons must have accessories and clothing items. Each store, seems to be killing it with winter clothing in my opinion. There are chunky knits, fancy sleeves and the faux fur is everywhere! If only I had the money to spend on all this amazing clothing!
Providing the ultimate round-up of snuggly winter accessories for 2017 is premium womenswear designer Ralph Lauren. They have everything that you need to get yourself and the wardrobe ready for winter.
Knitwear
Winter and knitwear is a match made in heaven, so it’s no surprise to see them topping the list once more for 2017. Here are some key trends to look out for and style up:
· Cable knit — cable knit jumpers never really went out of fashion, offering effortless heritage-inspired style. Layer yours over a shirt to instantly smarten your look. Pair with long boots to give that street-chic vibe.
· Red — red is going to be huge throughout autumn/winter 2017, so invest in a great red sweater that you can dress up and down. If red sounds too bright and overpowering, then opt for burgundy! It looks so wintery and goes with everything.
· Stripes — horizontal striped knits have featured across catwalks. From rainbow designs to cool and classic monochrome designs, you need at least one in your wardrobe.
· Polos — a super-versatile style, wear thinner knit polos with a chic skirt and tights for a formal work or evening look. By day, keep your polos chunky for extra warmth and style.
· Oversized — tying in with the re-emergence of grunge clothing, have a selection of loose-fit, oversized knits in your wardrobe for slouchier or extra cold days!
Coats
Now that the temperatures are dropping, you have the perfect excuse to invest in a great winter coat — but what should you be looking for?
If you want to create a look that screams vintage-inspired glamour, you need a woollen white coat. Pay particular attention to the way the coat is cut and how it hangs. Some of the most stylish white coats are cut just above the knee and will feature a waist-cinching belt to show off your shape. Of course, white coats can be difficult to keep clean, so this may be one look you reserve for more formal occasions. If not white, then why not baby pink. I have my eye on a shearing pink jacket but the price makes me want to cry :(
A more practical option lies in quilted or padded coats. They offer unparallelled warmth — especially if they’re down-filled — while remaining incredibly stylish. From diamond to linear quilting, the coats will help you channel a luxe active-inspired look.
Tights
If summer is all about flashing the flesh, autumn and winter are the seasons when tights reign supreme. The ideal base for any great outfit, tights have been reworked for autumn winter 2017. Make room in your wardrobe for statement-making tights.
Seen across catwalks, don’t be afraid to experiment with a patterned or colourful pair of tights. If you’re unsure of this trend, keep your colour palette muted and subtly introduce the trend through a delicate pattern. For a bolder look, add a pop of colour through your tights, keeping the rest of your outfit muted and carrying the colour through accessories.
