As late summer leads on to early
autumn, and temperatures vary significantly throughout the days and evenings,
it can be difficult to get your clothing right so you’re not sweltering in
knits or shivering in shirts.
Here
in the UK, it all seemed to change overnight. With sudden torrential rain some
weeks ago came cooler temperatures and it’s all too easy to turn your back on
your summer clothing. But we’re promised a warm September, so the answer lies
in clever layering and natural fabrics which let your skin breathe and keep
you warm when you need it and cool when that’s right too.
Linen
is, of course, a summertime favourite despite the creased look of some
varieties. Hemp, bamboo and organic cotton are fast coming up the league
table as credible alternatives. Layering any of these with a lightweight
cotton knit or jacket could be the answer to a ‘cool’ look in the office or
at work.
Casual
linen shirts, skirts, trousers and dresses are always popular and are great
for weekends and evening socialising, shopping or just late summer walks.
Thankfully flat shoes, sandals and boots are de rigeur this year so we don’t have to suffer in six-inch heels
unless we really want to!
Pastels
and brights are making way for a more muted colour palette, with reds and
burgundies still in the mix. Leather, tweeds, Aztec and geometric designs are
‘hot’, along with anoraks, sheepskins and an 80s feel. There are some great images
featured on the Vogue website: Vogue fashion trends for autumn
Toni
Pickles at Get Waisted will report back on more trends from upcoming fashion
shows, and don’t forget she can create any look you want.
Following
an initial consultation when shapes, fabrics, colours and styles are
discussed, Toni will create the right look, bespoke for you, with an
autumn/winter wardrobe to make you even more of a star than you already are.
If
you’ve looked in your closet and found items which can be recycled and
restyled, Toni can do that too.
Anything
that won’t make the grade can be donated to charity, leaving even more room
for wonderful Get Waisted creations!
