It may be sunny but for some the next seasons are the best for fashion so here is a thread to start planning.

Today I bought some patterned tights in New Look that were on sale and I have seen quite a few things I want for the next season.

Thanks dexter Smile

Remus, I think I love them already Grin

Madaboutthrows · 04/08/2014 22:41

Ignore me..although my personal philosophy is to buy things you love in multiples..

I want to buy another pair now Wink

My wish list:

A Cos hooded wool coat
M and S slate grey jeggings
Navy silk shirt from Uniqlo
A long silver pendant

I already have brogues I bought late last AW and didn't get much wear out of - from Dune. And a plain MBMJ black leather saddle bag. I d also like some pale suede Jalouse but not practical..

Thanks for that link, Mad, I like the trouser suits although those long jackets don't suit me.

MagicCarpet · 05/08/2014 08:34

On my list:

Faux fur coat - kind of like Margot Tenenbaum
Purple flares - cord or velvet
The perfect kilt. I look for these every year and never find the exact ones that are in my head.
Now, though I'm adding gold boots to the list… and I'm blaming Tethersend! Grin Hope they are nice!

I need cara's pointy shoes on the pic with guitar - I'm lusting after them so much.

The HM baggy trousers on the telegraph link below are great too.

tethersend · 05/08/2014 12:01

Love your list, Magic... What kind of flares/kilt are you after?

Shame we're different sizes, I just got rid of a very Margot Tenenbaum coat...

MagicCarpet · 05/08/2014 12:58

Tethers, I just want flares with wide enough bottoms really. I always see them and think they aren't wide enough! Grin not too fussy about fabric/shade although I think a dark purple would be easier to wear. I found a JBrand pair once that were perfect, but not my size.
The kilt - not as fussy about, but quite muted shades of grey/black/mustard… etc.
I've also seen a bottle green velvet duster coat, but its terribly impractical.
I love autumn things!

tethersend · 05/08/2014 13:12

Will keep an eye out.

There's some purple flares on etsy, or did you want new?

Crutchlow35 · 05/08/2014 13:49

I don't really need a lot. I would like to invest in a good cashmere oversized scarf though in grey.

Shoe wise I will need some black leather pumps for work to go with dresses and tights.

I would also LOVE a pair of black knee high wedge books in suede. Can't find them yet though.

Madaboutthrows · 05/08/2014 14:03

what about this Cruchlow. www.marksandspencer.com/pure-cashmere-scarf/p/p22321909

Am on self imposed ban at the moment, but I'm the lookout for the perfect single breasted camel coat, which I've never ever found.

MrsCampbellBlack · 05/08/2014 15:05

I love khaki and camo.

Keep reading that knee high boots are going to be back in again.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/08/2014 16:22

I very nearly bought a green leather jacket in the Mint Velvet sale today. The leather was beautifully soft, in a dull green colour. It was a bargain at just over £100 but the neckline wasn't quite right. Still feeling a bit sad about it!

I also need flat black shoes, but can't find a single pair that I like.

Coumarin · 05/08/2014 16:37

I look awful in khaki. I forget this until I catch sight of myself in my beloved parka. I see that there's going to be a lot if deep reds and blues around which is more my thing.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/08/2014 16:39

:) I like wearing my parka with a bright red scarf (the sort I can imagine Paddington wearing) in the depths of Winter.

Coumarin · 05/08/2014 16:46

Oh yes that'd work nicely. I have a couple of red scarves. I'm looking forward to getting it all out again.

tethersend · 05/08/2014 17:20

I saw this and thought of you, Remus... Online only, though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/08/2014 17:21

Mmmm, thanks Tethers but not sure. I'm beginning to think that grey leather looks far too much like it's made from Dead Dumbo.

tethersend · 05/08/2014 21:41

Pahahahahhahahaaa at Dead Dumbo Grin

Yup, that's grey leather spoiled forever Grin
