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.
