On our last post we talked about picking the right colour coat for your complexion, so speaking of colour, there is a wonderful hybrid of palettes going on this season and it offers up a sumptuous mix of colours for lots of occasions, whether you are heading into the office for a quick meeting, being supermum for the day or heading into town for a girly cocktail night!
First up is old meets new with folk gypsy style at the heart of the autumn winter rainbow; olives, rusty reds, warm oranges, deep pinks and romantic purples; craft couture at its best! The luxe way to channel these colours is definitely cashmere; soft, comforting and effortless. Invest in a cashmere sweater for everyday wear and team with ripped knee jeans and your favourite Nikes or Converse.

V-neck styles are much more flattering for bigger busted body shapes as they draw the eye inwards and downwards. However if you have a smaller bust the round necks are fine, just make sure to accessorise with a statement necklace to break up the block colour. Bejewelled detail is back with a bang this season too so make sure your jewellery is showy and eye catching!

Ok so we've spoken about capes, shawls, coats and jumpers, now lets talk a bit about the bottom half…..If ripped knees aren’t your thing, but you’re still on the lookout for the perfect pair of jeans on an affordable budget (we’ve all been there), then head to River Island to try on their ‘Molly Jeggings’. Crafted with their new 4 way stretch fabric, these work wonders on all body shapes, lifting the bottom in all the right places and shaping the thighs! Do not be put off by the ‘jegging’ name, their stretchy fabric moulds to the legs so they are super flattering!

The other key piece for accenting the folk trend is the dress; long, luxe, woolly and belted (if needed) and teamed with knee high boots. The dress is an easy piece to throw on and looks really chic! The shape of dress will depend on your body shape but use folk accessories to jazz it up if you feel more comfortable in a block colour!

If doing a neutral colour, then team with one of your shawl capes too in a stylish check to layer the trends and create a full outfit!
