Autumn wardrobe staples

Hiya peeps,
before I begin I would just like to say, I apologise for the way you have to read my first post- some of the words have been chopped up to continue on the next line, it didn't look like this when it was a draft, but just turned out like that when it was posted, if this happens with this post, then I apologise again, I will get to the bottom of this annoyance very soon.
Anyway back to blogging.
I mentioned that I was going to be showing you some autumn wardrobe staples that i think are a must-have, or are simply advertised by magazines, By viewing these staples you will also be getting a decent idea of trends this autumn,
enjoy.


Snug Snoods

For both men and women, the snood is all the rage this autumn,  whether your wearing a classic trench coat, or a thick zipper hoodie, or just a simple grey jumper, the snood will trend up whatever you choose to wear.

If you don't mind your neck NOT being warm (or you intend to wear it indoors) go for a sheer and much more drapey  snood like this sandy paisley printed snood.

Be nice n snug this autumn with this chunky (yet fabulous) cable knit snood.













Hats hats hats
Hats are big (maybe not literally) this autumn, in any form you can think of, whether you enjoy wearing the smart trilby hat, or the more urban beanie, or the stunning faux fur trapper hat, fashion is welcoming every type this season.

You just cant go wrong with the ultra urban beanie, looks good on most face shapes, and can give an either cute innocent look, or a tough and slightly grungy look.

The gorgeous and timeless trilby hat, is never unfashionable in my eyes, will look beautiful with a matching business suit, or a tough urban military look (depending on the colour.)with this hat, always remember to put it at some angle on your face, believe me, it just doesn't look right horizontal!

With a suiting face this beauty can look very striking, the faux fur just completes it for me, so warm, so snugly and so gorgeous.


















Military boot- we're back!
I must rate this product for how long it has been around for, last autumn they were all the rage, and same with spring/summer, and now this autumn they are still going strong.


In grey, brown, beige, khaki or the classic black, this boot goes with everything, from a cute peter pan -collar floral dress, to a punky skinny-jeans military look.


















Chunky oversized cable knit
jumpers, scarves, snoods, gloves, hats...
- the list goes on; in my opinion cable knit just never comes out of fashion in autumn/winter, when executed correctly, it will look amazing.

 I dont play cricket, but this i just had to buy, I wouldnt wear it with a t-shirt underneath (my picture contradicts what I just said) only to give it that more laid back, grungy feel, some light blue or grey skinny jeans would look very retro for men. Ladies, if your brave enough, get an XL mens size, and wear as a dress- with a belt of course, or if your not feeling as bold, wear with some skinny jeans or lace leggings, possibly finish off with a sandy coloured snood (like my one), and a kitsch ring or bracelet.

Just another idea of cable knit, could be worn with the jumper above or a cream trench coat/ duffel coat.




















Fair isle (what??)
In case you didn't know, fair isle is a Scottish pattern technique consisting of many lines, zigzags, and colours- for a better description follow this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Isle_(technique)
The fair isle style (that rhymed!) is gradually getting more and more fashionable this season as I notice more and more shops introducing the style to their clothes and accessories.

Its socially agreed, that one should wear fair isle either in autumn/winter and especially nearing the Christmas period, as the pattern detail remind people of the festive time of year.















Like cable knit fair isle is mostly seen in a forms of jumpers, but can be found often as arm warmers, gloves, hats scarves etc.













So these are just some of the many new autumn trends this season, I hope you enjoyed learning about these items. I would like to thank , New Look, Google images,  Topman, and Ebay for some of these images. The remaining ones were worn and taken by me. If you would like to know more about autumn trends follow this link: http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/trends Or for men I highly recommend having a little look at fashionbeans.com
