What’s Hot in this Winter Trends
Ladies what a season!! How quickly all these new trends are making their way through into the shops and on our bodies!
I thought I would tell you about what’s hot this season, some must haves you should get in your wardrobe!
Pleather and Leather: Most commonly people think of Leather and Pleather jackets; however, this season that’s not just the case. The trend making its way in, is the slight appearance of leather in leggings, trousers, tops and dresses, not necessary the full leather form such as a jacket. If you’re over 40, you should try and aim for wearing real leather instead of pleather where possible, it can look a bit cheap and nasty if its full on pleather as we get older.
Peplums: Peplums are still on fire EVERYWHERE, they are an absolute craze.
You can get stiff peplums, these are great for people that need the extra shape; however, if you find you’re a lady with enough curves you should stick to a soft peplum to fit your curves and structure. As a tip ladies – Peplums can be a great way to conceal those “bits” too!
Velvet and Cordouroy: These 80’s trends have definitely made a comeback now showing up in dresses, jeans and skirts! You may have seen us posting about them on our facebook, www.facebook.com/stylewithcindy. One LBD (little black dress) in particular was in Cue where they had used a patterned velvet for a dress, absolutely beautiful, a must have in the wardrobe! The most common source we have found is the coloured velvet jean or coloured velvet leggings, these can be found in the likes of Target, Sportsgirl, Country Road and Kmart.
Details on items: Our clothing this season is flooded with detail!! Zips, buckles, leather trim lace, the whole lot!
When purchasing these items with a little bit of pizzazz to them be careful where the detail actually sits on you as you want to avoid problem areas.
Pattern and Bold Prints: Be a little daring and find something that has a bold print. Maybe start off small and purchase a belt, bag or scarf then lead up to buy a top or jacket.
Patterns and bold prints can be deceiving!! They can make you appear bigger than you are or slimmer than you are depending on the print, so be wary of this when trying these on.
Ankle boots: Ankle boots are making their way back in now that it is that time of the year! Boots with cut out detail, zips, buckles and in a million colours, so hard to choose!
If you have shorter legs you should be wearing a boot that sits just under your ankle bone and thin at the ankle or a long boot for elongation. For those ladies that are a bit longer in the legs and a bit luckier you can afford to wear most styles of boots that are going around this season.
Lace: Black lace, white lace, cream lace and coloured lace…where to begin. These can all come in the forms of tops, dresses, jackets and pants. Lace generally has the “sexy” vibe to it but this isn’t always the case, if you think this, erase it from your mind and try some on! Even a lace cami looks great underneath a buttoned shirt or dress. Small additions like this can keep you on trend.
So there you go ladies, I hope this info will help you get through winter Fashionably!
Don’t forget your tips and keep posted on some more helpful information for the weeks to come!
Thanks Cindy for your updates, love receiving them. When you came to my house in Feb for a wardrobe makeover you set me a challenge with the encouragement of my daughters to find shoes, I did go out of my comfort zone and yet felt great and have received many compliments and yes the shoes are also comfortable. Do it ladies!
That’s great to hear Chris!!!! Glad your enjoying all of our posts =)
