Being stuck in economic doldrums doesn’t mean we have to pass on purchasing new clothes
As the new season sweeps in, the new season fashion arrives too
No matter how high our heels, the cost of living is biting at them. At a time when a coat of armour or a cardigan feels like suitable attire to get through a winter of buckling down the hatches to keep in the heat, knowing what’s on trend feels trivial. But it will always be a guilty pleasure. To get dressed is why we get up in the morning and keeping the fashion business in business is also part of our civic duty. Chances are you might already own some of Autumn/Winter 2022’s runway favourites as fashion rotates and style no longer has a sell-by date. Anything goes in the 2020’s which is why you always need another pair of Suzy D joggers. The frippery of fashion makes life fun and we all need some of that right now. So here are some seasonal suggestions to follow or use to stoke the fire.
Back to school
So that’s pleated plaid kilts, Peter-Pan collars, half-undone neck ties and blazers.
Full Fringe
Bottega Veneta set the street style for the season with fringe, but at £2,660 from Net-a-porter you might want to look on the high street.
Knitwear
Never needed a knit more so think about sweater dressing. From coats to cardigans, two pieces and twin sets, anything goes if it keeps out the cold. www.caraandthesky.com
Corsets
We’ve been wearing them for centuries, why stop now?
Punk and Goth
Vicious garb either way, it was all over the catwalks for AW22, but you can confine it to footwear. Look threatening in thigh high boots or bedecked brogues.
All White
Much like black, white or cream always looks expensive in winter.
Blue is the colour
Or cerulean, which designers have taken a shine to and used in slinky trousers that can be dressed up or down..
Burst of Barbie
With Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling about to be Barbie and Ken on screen, the inevitable craze for the colour that fills Barbie’s world will follow. So keep any pink item you were planning to pass on.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
