Season of Mists….
FACEON brings your wardrobe up to date this autumn as we look at what you MUST have in your closet!
Get ready to indulge yourself this autumn with sumptuous clarets and burgundies mixed with tweeds, furs and feathers.
The shops are marking the end of the bright, playful summer with earthy clothes that have a hint of masculinity about them: loose trousers in muddy browns, severe greys and rusty reds; flat shoes and chunky boots; expensive cloths layered with hardwearing tweed and decadent furs; and unashamedly clashing colours.
River Island’s A/W collection includes sharp trousers and double breasted jackets that can be combined with fake furs for an androgynous look that taps into another trend, that of mixing texture– the more the merrier. Marks and Spencer shows how to mix it up with its fluffy, deep orange coat draped over a gold velvet dress finished with a patchwork of contrasting sequins.
For a more feminine approach to autumn there are plenty of dresses inspired by the 1940s that perfectly complement the many tweed coats available, as can be seen at F&F at Tesco.
Printed fabrics are everywhere, from birds to flowers to butterflies (New Look has piles of pretty printed dresses to choose from), with a big sub-trend proving to be dots. Lots of them. Our current favourite, however, is Matalan's very sweet dotted dress – snap it up now before it sells out.
