Your winter uniform?
A big coat. Long boots.
It’s as easy as that.
Then build an outfit around (under!) those two items with pieces that you already own. Chic pieces that just slide underneath a coat without a murmur. Then add a fabulous designer bag and you’re done. Let’s talk coats! * You want a coat that’s long. Mid shin. Longer. Oversized. Go up a size if you need to. I always do. * It can be single breasted or double breasted: just make sure it does up at the front and covers ‘the situation’. Meaning ? Make sure it sits across your front “ situation” even when it’s undone. * You need versatile colours: Camel, navy, grey, brown, white , khaki , furry, suede or even leather. * Walk past black. It’s not going to give you vava voom, bang for your buck. Total yawn fest. Nigh Nigh ! Can be so hard to style, it has to be VERY exaggerated to look cool. * Everybody keep calm: if you have a long black winter coat (and I do have a few!) then surround them with tan, white and camel. Fabulous boots. Cream knits. Light wash denim. Instant chic. Default to white under there. Grey is good under it and so is a pleather skirt or pants. Welcome to my world. * Remember big shoulders are happening. And a more tailored coat is looking new but it’s still BIG and LONG Shop my picks here . fifireport simplechic LTKover50style LTKaustralia LTKautumn
