The feel of the current cooler season is that this season everything goes!

I always maintained that one’s choice to embrace a signature style, by creating collections around, and rewearing, favourite pieces - with attention to garment condition and fit of course - will without a doubt, enhance their confidence and overall positive state of mind.

Many times in practice I have seen that when one is ‘allowed’ to be fully themselves’ in what they wear, its like they gained extra physical inches to their posture. I am really happy to see that this is finally taking roots in the wider approach / minds of clothes makers and artists’s creations that people like to wear.

So when I write ‘everything goes’ you can interpret this to mean; follow your own personal style - be it relaxed, classic, grunge etc - but know how to adapt it when, and if necessary. Also, pay close attention to fabric condition and fit; even if a piece is meant to be oversized it still needs to follow certain proportions so make sure you understand what your own form requires before choosing and if you are not sure ask for advice.

Here are a few key add-ons you might like to consider in order to update a look for the coming, cooler months:

Layers - not new but still a strong look, as an example a hoodie under tailored blazer, its sleek yet fun.

All day tailored ensembles and the return of the wide shoulder. Loose or belted suiting, buttoned shirts, vests, evening jackets and yes, even ties.
White shirt - another all time favourite; invest in a quality, preferably two and with distinctive cut/design
A tailored black tuxedo style evening wear and a long coat. Never really out of fashion and it does not have to be black
Comfort "Après-ski" style for day to day - brushed knits and Argyle style jumpers
Tweed, silk, lace, metallic and yes, still tartan
Highlighted waist - wide leg tailored trousers and / or denim
Shimmering sequence - no longer just a party look but incorporated into daywear too.
