Not
everyone is a dedicated follower of fashion but, nonetheless, most people like
to stay abreast of current trends in the fashion world. We
generally, a note of a couple of fashion shoots a la mode magazines, read a couple
of online articles and inspect the newest shop window displays on our
occasional excursions to the main street. Because the winter
style guide has
slowly appropriated the magazines and therefore the shop windows during the
last month approximately, we take a glance at what's on offer and whom it'll
suit best.
Although we all love summer, clothes for winter are
literally much more of a delight for both the designer and therefore the
wearer. This is often due, in large part, to their layering ability. Suddenly
an entirely new world exposes for us as we realise that we will wear a gorgeous
figure-hugging top, over layer it with a long-sleeved loose tunic of a special
length and finish it off with a knitted cardigan. Even more enjoyable is that
the incontrovertible fact that none of those items needs a match. We have a
choice of meticulously matching the colours in our layers (which can look
extremely tasteful) or deliberately choosing colours that clash in a beautiful
way.
This winter the styles are clearly defined as either
'heritage' or 'urban' and both have their own attractions. Whether you lean
more toward one or the opposite will depend, in part, on your lifestyle but
also on your own preferences. The designs available within the heritage ranges
of winter clothes for ladies are within the most beautiful berry colours one
could imagine. They're rich and vibrant and compliment the season perfectly and
during a very natural way. There's a sense that the very countryside around us
has been woven into the clothes. They feel British and of excellent quality and
definitely vintage-inspired. For women, the incorporation of florals into the
designs adds an additional dimension of prettiness not ordinarily seen in
winter clothes. The winter clothes for men offer great similarity within the
colours but rather than florals, they provide up rich herringbones, tweeds and
checks to bring us that very same feeling of superior quality and Britishness.
Moving onto the urban ranges, we are confronted with
sleekness, power and modernity. No nature-loving happening here, this is often
all about city life and culture. The ranges exude a sense of professional youth
mixed with sophistication and excitement. The very colours themselves are
strong, dark charcoals and slates, graphites and blacks. Embellishments feature
heavily, lifting the dark colours to new levels and enabling the garments to
literally sparkle as they move from the workplace of the day to the town
nightlife of bars and restaurants. Fabrics are exciting too, wools and leathers
are seamlessly combined in new ways to challenge our perceptions of how things
need to be.
