Autumn/Winter - what will you be wearing?

[CaitAgusMadra]

So now that it's officially autumn (kinda) and the weather has been crap here today what do you think you'll be wearing this autumn and winter?

Inspire me before I spend yet another winter wearing skinny jeans, ankle boots and slouchy knits

Are boyfriend jeans doable in winter? (I normally wear mine rolled up and I'm not a fan of cold ankles!)

[Nearlyadoctor]

Just been having a look on Office website and they fly boots in the sale - quite the mol's in the Olive.
Are Fly old hat? Thoughts?

[Floisme]

Thanks all. I really love the simple cut.

The hat is Mr Flo's.

[Tanaqui]

Love the jacket Flo.

I like Fly boots Nearly, because I have wide feet and they fit, but no doubt they are mum boots (but I am a 45 year old mum!).

Thanks for the Boden link Cait- don't know how I missed them as I like Boden and have account credit! They might be too high on the crew neck though (have a short neck and high boobs so crew necks can be tricky).

Love the coat Flo I really want one. I have a biker but I rarely wear it. The zips annoy me and it has beautiful leather but stains so easily despite ton of scotch guard, it's just not a joy to wear.

[Floisme]

I like bikers too Stately and I was very tempted to splurge on a Whistles one but I decided I wanted something plain and no fuss.

I started looking in vintage because I just couldn't see what I wanted on the high street. The closest was this link that niminy found which was nearly right but would have been a bit too long on me (I'm 5'3) plus I wanted collar and rever.

I was after a new biker jacket, got the blue M&S one which was awful so I sent it back. Was dropping off some bits at my local charity shop and only bloody found my dream black super buttery soft leather jacket for £12!!!!!! its amazing. Why would anyone give away such an amazing classic item. I am so happy.

[EnidButton]

Nick I wish the charity shops around here had good stuff in them. The book one has great books but the clothes ones aren't great.

I need my DCs to go back to school so I can trawl the charity shops near me in peace! Last time I made it to our Cancer Research one, someone who was my size had dumped tonnes of stuff from Boden and Joules in there, picked up 2 summer dresses for under a fiver each, then by the time I thought I should go back and get more, others had got there and cleared them out.

I think I want some highwaisted trousers that aren't skinny. Perhaps more of a 30s or 40s shape. Might need to look at vintage themed sites.

[nickdrakeslovechild]

Ours are hit and miss, but 2 weeks ago in the same one i bought a vintage levis denim jacket for £10. When DD starts school I am going there every friday

What I want to wear this autumn winter is a single breasted 70s big lapel wool navy coat.

it's in my head. i see it in my head.

[Kikibanana86]

I want a new leather jacket l, probably black, there's one on the river island website that looks a nice shape so might go in and have a try on. I also really want a coat with. Furry collar, I tried on a leather biker jacket last year in new look and it had a lovely furry collar which looked nice next to my face, but the leather was fake and really obviously so so have been on the lookout for a better quality one, if anyone sees one let me know!

Love the coat Flo I had one just like that in 2001 and I still mourn it and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
Mine was M&S, that's what they should be re-releasing in their heritage collections

[Floisme]

Thanks cathy, I'm sure they'll be around again soon.
Especially now I've got one

Saw some wine coloured jeans today, don't remember where (Hobbs email possibly?) but thought I might find some somewhere else and try them but then remembered I used to wear them in the 90's and it put me off a bit.

What do you think? Burgundy/maroon/wine jeans?

[burnishedsilver]

I bought a pair of dark wine coloured skinny jeans 2 winters ago. I though I'd get loads of wear out of them but in the end I rarely wore them. They were surprisingly difficult difficult to style. Grey seemed to be the only colour that looked ok with them. I've just put them in a charity bag.

[EnidButton]

I do wear a fair bit of grey actually. Hmm, not sold on them though so maybe stick to replacing my blue ones and get some more black or grey ones.

[ivyonmywalls]

I can't wait to start wearing deeper colours, especially all the berries, I'm fed up with wearing thin t-shirts.
We might get our wish sooner than we think, with all the,rain that's,on its way.
