It’s official; sweater weather is here which means it’s time to update the knit section of your winter wardrobe. The base of any cute winter outfit is always a good sweater. Whether you’re layering it up or wearing it on its own, the right sweater can take your outfit from good to great. The autumn-winter 2018 trends highlighted that statement sweaters and animal print are here to stay, but the street style scene is highlighting oversized knits and tricolours. I’ve rounded up a selection of some of the best sweaters on the high street and beyond right now, in the five trending styles.

My favourite part of this selection is that you’d be surprised at the amazing quality of some of the high street pieces, especially the & Other Stories cashmere range! It just shows you how the options are endless but I’ve highlighted the best of the best for you here.

A quick note about my outfit as well. This tricolour knit from & Other Stories has been one of my favourites this season. The colours make it so easy to style with a simple pair of jeans or to layer over a white shirt dress as I have here. If you remember my petite girl tips then you’ll know that clinching your waist is key. That’s why I added in my Prada belt bag. To bring the look together (and keep me warm) I finished the outfit with my Stuart Weitzman Highland suede boots.

So, which sweater style is your favourite?

How To Wear The Mismatched Earrings Trend

MIS
MATCH
ED

By now we are all familiar with the trends for autumn winter 2018-2019; leopard prints, cowboy boots, belt bags and so much more. (In case you aren’t familiar with them though, you can read my post about the trends you can actually wear and should wear right here). What you may not be familiar with though are some of the micro trends, mainly the micro jewellery trends for the season. My favourite, of course, is mismatched earrings. If you’ve been watching my outfits closely over the past year and if you have a sharp memory from London Fashion Week, mismatched earrings are something I’ve been wearing for a little while now. I love the playfulness of this trend and it really gives you the opportunity to get creative with your collection. Someone once asked me if I had any tips to make a trend that seems so intimidating, more wearable, so ive broken it down into three do’s and dont’s to wearing mismatched earrings:

Do’s

Do play with length: What’s great about this trend is that you can wear one earring that’s incredibly long and one stud. Asymmetry works really well with this trend.

Do play with shapes: It also works to pair shapes together, for example, you can pair a large statement hoop with a tiny stud. In fact, Dior sells pairs of earrings that are like that.

Do match materials: A great way to make this trend more wearable for you is to match stones. If one side has pearl details, make sure the other side does as well. Same with metals, keep it to gold or silver.

Don’ts

Don’t Mix two statements: The mismatched look is statement enough, so make sure that one side is the “statement” and the other side is subtle.

Don’t be afraid: Wear this trend with confidence. One of the biggest tricks I’ve learnt when it comes to wearing anything is that if you believe it everyone else will too. Wear it with confidence because it looks great!

What To Wear To The Office On A Rushed Autumn Morning

OFFICE CHIC

We’ve all had those mornings when we haven’t decided what to wear to work, we’re running late and we suddenly stare at our closet full of clothes and think, “I have nothing to wear” (note the Sex and the City reference? I’m almost done with all the seasons!) With autumn very much here and winter hinting that it’s closer than we think (it’s something like 70 odd days to Christmas?) trying to figure out office outfit ideas only gets more and more challenging. Recently, a lot of my girlfriends have been mentioning how much harder it is to decide on a cute workwear outfit when it’s cold outside. That’s why today I’m going to be sharing a quick and chic outfit formula that you can always fall back on, no matter the morning.

When I’m in doubt, I always reach for a combination that is tried and tested; high waisted trousers and a chic sweater. This combination might sound simple but it’s an outfit that just keeps giving. What I love the most about this formula is that you can repeat it almost every day and it will still look different. On one day you can go for a totally tonal look like I have here with beige and white (or any two colours, depending on the colour of your trousers). On another day, you could mix your high waisted trousers with a fitted turtleneck, and on another day you could throw in a burst of colour with a patterned sweater or oversized knit. Do you catch my drift?

It always helps to have an outfit to fall back on, almost like a uniform that you know you will always look chic in but don’t forget about your accessories! Although for work you may want to swap out this bag for a more subtle one and ditch the beret, you can still add in some dainty necklaces and some gold earrings. Don’t be afraid to add a touch of personality and shine to your look. I guarantee you’ll be the most stylish woman in the office!

Is this an outfit formula you could fall back on for work? Where do you look for work outfit ideas?

The #1 Way To Style Your Plaid Pants This Autumn/Winter

PLAID ON PLAID

It’s no secret that plaid is the official print for autumn and winter and is also a major autumn winter 2018 trend. Whether you opt for big checks (think vintage Burberry that’s making a comeback), tartan or the traditional plaid you know and love, you know it’s a print that will never fail you. You all know that skirts are my favourite pieces to style, but I’m also a big fan of a great pair of trousers, specifically a good pair of plaid trousers. Today, I wanted to share a great styling tip with you for wearing your favourite plaid pants.

When styling plaid, don’t be afraid to add in different versions of the print into one outfit. I always find that my plaid outfit looks more inspired when I add in another piece in the pattern. Don’t be discouraged if the two pieces are not an exact match, the mismatch effect is actually quite cool and makes this cute autumn outfit look effortless. I styled my Topshop plaid trousers with my & Other Stories check blazer.

If you live in a warmer country, you can wear the look with a blouse like the one I have on here from Kitri. I love the beautiful puffy sleeves and the ruching detail down the centre. If you’re already gearing up for the winter though, why not try it with the sweater version of my top from Chriselle Lim’s latest collection. You can also reach for your trust white turtleneck for this look and jazz it up with some chunky gold necklaces or dainty layered ones.

As fashion week, or rather fashion month, comes to a close, there is no denying that one of autumn winters biggest trends was all over the street style scene; animal prints. With leopard print having made a huge comeback for the season, I scoured the street style scene for the small styling tips and tricks to make any outfit that much more chic. Over the last month I’ve noticed three little details that can make styling your leopard print top, or any animal print top for that matter, that much more elegant. What I especially love about these tips is that they also make your outfit look much more expensive!

Tip #1: Hair Accessories are Welcome
Having a bad hair day? Spice up your low bun with a hairband! It’s a beautiful way to add that extra special touch to your autumn outfit. Sometimes with leopard print, we risk the outfit looking like everyone else, but a small touch like this can really set your look apart.

Tip #2: Match Your Nails To Your Look
I once read that a fashion insider always looked at a person’s nails when she was meeting them for the first time. Needless to say, a good manicure can lead to a good impression but in this case, a matched manicure can lead to an even better one. Backstage at fashion week, nude nails were all the rage! It’s a great way to make your outfit seem more put together without having tried too hard, Of course, you can’t always match your manicure to your outfit, but opt for a wonderful neutral beige like this Essie shade I’m wearing and you’ll see that your nails always match.

Tip #3: Your Lipstick Is Your Final Accessory
Bold bright fall makeup is a trend that I am welcoming with open arms, especially when it includes a bright lipstick! I added a pop of red to my outfit with my Chanel bag, but the real finishing touch that the street style stars all know is that your lipstick has got to match too! It’s such a thoughtful detail that instantly makes your outfit look much more luxe. I matched my lipstick with this Tom Ford shade which is an autumn must have for sure!

So three tips that are actually incredibly easy to work into any of your outfits without much investment! That’s the best, isn’t it? What do you think of these tips? Comment below with your thoughts!

The Trending Autumn Winter 2018 Colour You’re Going To Wear On Repeat

YELLOW FOR AUTUMN

Make sure to turn your Ad Blocker off so you can shop this page!

The start of a new season has seen a rise of autumn winter trends for 2018; we’ve seen snake print and leopard print make a roaring come back, and nothing gets between us and our plaid blazers. What really gives me a dose of inspiration for cute autumn outfit ideas are the trending colours and the autumn-winter colour trends for 2018 are no exception. At the top of the list is a colour that I’ve surprisingly come to love; mustard yellow. With Paris Fashion Week coming to a close, not only have I seen this colour dominate the street style, but it’s very much here to stay from now all the way to next summer!

Like so many others, I was unsure of this shade It didn’t seem like the most obvious choice when reaching for a sweater, but over the past few months I’ve started to see glimpses of mustard pop up in my wardrobe more and more (and I don’t mean through me messily spilling it all over my clothes while devouring a plate of fries). Here are my top three tips for styling mustard this season to create a cute autumn outfit and countless more cute sweater outfit ideas for the season.

Firstly, pair your mustard yellow piece with neutrals like white, black, beige and khaki. These are the colours that work best with it and you’ll find that mustard will quickly become your favourite way to make any autumn outfit formula more interesting. I styled my sweater with this adorable white storets skirt and black accessories.

Secondly, Add touches of gold to really bring out your outfit. Gold and yellow compliment each other and this is a great way to bring your favourite chain belt into the new season.

Thirdly, mustard goes beautifully well with autumn winter’s favourite prints. This includes snake prints and plaid. That’s why I opted for a mustard sweater as my new must-have piece for autumn.

For my amazing readers who live in countries that are warm all year round, this is a great way to make your wardrobe more seasonal, by working this colour into your outfits through accessories or basics like t-shirts or even an adorable skirt.
