With hope of an Indian summer fading fast, I have to reluctantly accept that the autumn season is well and truly with us, and I have been rummaging through my wardrobes looking for clothes to keep me warm as the nights turn chillier.
The good news this autumn is that warm cardigans are making a big comeback this year in homage to old fashion country dressing. Subtle hues should be contrasted with a splash of bright colour, worn very fitted and teamed up with a skirt in soft fabric worn below the knee for that authentic vintage feel. The classic two piece top and cardigan is a winner this season too, paired up with simple pearls and again worn with a below the knee length skirt.
Try playing with a combination of old and new for a unique style that’s your very own. Manly brogues are hot off the catwalk and can be teamed up with woolly tights and a line knee length skirts, scout through vintage shops to discover original pieces at bargain prices.
For those ladies who really feel the cold and want a warmer alternative to a dress or skirt, baggy trousers with turn ups are popular yet again. Alternatively team the cigarette style trouser with high ankle boots, preferably with a quirky bow or side detail.
Tweed or any variation on this theme is the fabric to be wearing this autumn, from coats to skirts or trousers, teamed with luxurious silks and satins.
This stunning outfit is one of The Fairy Godmothers new occasion wear collection and beautifully illustrates the vintage feel with a modern day twist.
