Winter florals
If your floral dresses are beginning to droop in your cupboard as we speak, it’s time to re-pot your ideas about how you can wear them this season. They will only look wrong if your accessorise with bare legs and goose bumps so first thing’s first – head to the hosiery department. Tights are a designer’s perfect counterpoint in a/w, and as we’re only moments away from squeezing our pins into lace-patterned ones (thanks to Prada’s striking revision of this delicate fabric as heavyweight couture styling), get ready for contrast. But for now let’s keep distraction from our florals to a minimum with simple block colour tights in maroon, plum, slate grey or black.
Erin Fetherston shows that A/W florals can still be light and breezy, but with a longer sleeve and something underneath you won’t be out in the cold in the fashion stakes…pssst Celia Birtwell for Topshop does the best on the high street.
As for footwear, shoeboots look cute yet tough and balance out any nostalgia for summer, or loafers if you have long legs and are utterly dedicated to the cause. Team leader: Alexa Chung.
