Personal shopper/stylist- AMA autumn winter edition

[frillseeking]

Following on from the previous threads, AMA wardrobe/ style related and I will endeavour to help!

Top trends for the upcoming seasons please?

Also, what basics do I need to make a great capsule wardrobe?

Are teddy/fur coats out of fashion now?

If you were buying one pair of trousers for Winter, what would you buy?

I'm hoping to get a nice medium shoulder bag more for Evington so not too big. Something similar to Coach Tabby 26 would you recommend?

Top trends:

Draping details
Velvet
Teddy fabrics/shearling
Fuschia pink
Leather
Mini or maxi length
Suiting
Corsetry details

People often worry about following trends but you can take the idea and adapt it into your wardrobe without looking like a fashion victim. Think of a nod and a wink rather than head to toe.

It very much depends on your lifestyle and what you do/ where you go on a daily basis. But in simple terms every wardrobe should have- good selection of basic, good quality T-shirts, black blazer, leather jacket, classic jeans, every day tote bag, heeled ankle boots, white sneakers, wool coat. I think most people would need to expand on this but this is a good starting point.

Not at all! Still very much on trend

Jeans.... (for a size 8, 5'2):

• Can we still do skinnies?
• Are Mom jeans still ok?
• what style is absolutely on-trend
• Any style /colour/finish that's a total, total 'no'?

These wide legs from h&m. A great staple in a lovely fabric that can be dressed up or down. Very difficult to choose just one!

What jeans can I wear?
Skinnies feeling tired but I'm only 5'2" and big belly - not quite an apple as I've got hips too but look awful in mum jeans.
Any tips?

I’m a 60 year old , 5ft 5 , bit over weight ( size 14)
what do I wear to an 80th birthday lunch party ?
I don’t like trousers
budget £100 ish

The Lottie bag by Aspinal could work https://www.aspinaloflondon.com/products/lottie-bag-soft-taupe-pebble?currency=GBP&gclid=EAIaIQobChMILXqicGQ-wIVSNTtCh1ihQYPEAQYBCABEgLhuPDD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

size 20, smaller on top than you might expect, big belly though. 5 foot 4. Need a dress for an awards ceremony. What should I go for (and where should I buy it?)

@FireandBrimstone skinnies aren't on trend this season but if it's a shape you feel good in then you can make the rest of your outfit look current. Ideally go for a slim fit or tapered style over a true skinny like the images attached. Mom jeans are a classic style that are still very popular. More on trend looks are the barrel leg, wide leg styles and ecru jeans- these look great with a classic stripe knit or Breton top. Steer clear of jeggings!

@AdmiralButterfly how formal is the event?

@frillseeking oh my! I'm very glad I asked

Thank you!

Hi OP!

I wanted to ask how to wear boots and jeans this season? It looks from your two photos of the jeans like it is boots under jeans?

I saw Kendall Jenner with knee highs over jeans, is that going to be thing?

What footwear with those wide leg trousers?
Need something which is suitable for winter (therefore no bare feet / ankles) not trainers and not heels as need to run back & forth between office & station 3 days a week.

I second the boots and jeans question. I love my knees high boots over jeans, is it dated? If so, how can I update the look?

Hello! I’ve bought a faux leather midi skirt, which I love, but I’m not sure what to wear on my feet with it, particularly for evenings.

I don’t do heels (I can run to a kitten heel at a push but I’d rather not) so what are my options, please? And can I wear tights?

Where is the best place to buy good quality v neck or scoop necked t shirts that are slightly fitted?
Size 10-12 but with very big boobs which I find it a nightmare to dress with 😞. Age 50.

Where have all the little black dresses gone?

I would love a handy one for work and a dressier one for evening's out and one for corporate events.

I'm a short with a very typical hourglass figure and cannot find anything.

I have an event in December that is rock themed and need a formal dress. Maxi length preferable. Any ideas? Want to match the theme without it looking like fancy dress.
