OVERSIZED COATS

OVERSIZED COATS


Big and Oversized…..words that often have a negative connotation. But relax, AW14 outerwear trend is all about chic oversized silhouettes from the blanket capes seen at Burberry to menswear inspired styles at Celine. Voluminous, cocoons, balloon sleeves  and large lapels are all features you want to be wearing (not all on the same piece mind)Try not to oversize everything. Oversized coats work best paired with slim trousers and a ballet pump or loafer to create a contrast.This trend is mostly about clean minimalism so skip the accessories too. Simplicity is the best way forward, stick to coats with minimal detailing and plain hues. No one wants to look like MC Hammer in 2015.

I like my money right where I can see it....hanging in my closet



My sister shamefully reminded me I have two feather skirts already. Yeah... but not in a punchy red! In Zara, Covent Garden, I picked up the bouncy skirt, when my sister informed me that my perfect ideal man was leaving the store. It was him or the skirt. I picked the skirt. The fact it was discounted from £79 to £20 made this victory all the sweeter. An Elmo red feather skirt... I’ll admit it's pretty ballsy. My sister is not a fan and the fact that it’s been reduced loads screams that it’s unpopular. Who cares?! I think it’s the perfect interpretation of the avian print that is going to be huge this spring. Why wear a bird when you can be one? Matthew Williamson said "The woman in a feather dress is confident in her fashion choices and exudes playfulness....it is reminiscent of the Twenties, a time of prosperity and luxe." I’ll fit right in then. Joking.


The Little Feather Dress (LFD) is a hit with many. Olivia Palermo at Giambattista Valli wore a feather-trimmed dress. Meanwhile, Kate Moss climbed off Marc Jacobs's carousel to close the show in a feather mini-dress. At D&G, over fluffy feather skirts in rainbow hues were paired with bright T-shirts and wedge-heeled trainers. Not sure whether to wear it like feather trim dress with a long tank with a few feathers poking out at the bottom. Or copy D&G and dress it down team with a tee. Probs both.
