ALERT:Winter Trends

I love checking out the latest trends. I am actually really excited for winter, as the key items that I have spotted are just so beautiful and elegant.

Here is a hint of what’s yet to come :

The Camel Coat

I love this colour. This would go perfectly with all your neutral tones such as your pure whites, off whites etc.I also feel that this will be the perfect touch to your LBD worn with thick woolen tights and those sexy hugging ankle boots.

It’s all about layering and keeping warm.

The Man Bag/Clutch

So I mentioned this trend in class the other day and everyone laughed. I am just waiting for Chuck Bass or Kanye West to rock this look and soon this will become a new trend among the fashionable men. It’s bringing back metrosexualism(I don’t think this word exists but that’s just the best way to describe this) in a sexy and elegant way. If a businessman had one of these leather numbers at their side, I would know that this man is here to talk real business.

The Tan Leather Bag

I feel that this trend is not going anywhere yet ,I love how a tanned brown leather bag can actually make your dull outfit exciting .I also feel that fringing will come back as it didn’t quiet kick off here in South Africa but as you notice there is more fringing in clothes so I believe the fringing in bags will slowly creep back in.

Duffle Coat

South African retailers have not yet caught on to this trend. I have no idea why causes I just simply love it. I use to have a jersey just like this when I was a child and I actually loved it. I love the functional detailing used being the wooden buttons (Have no idea what they are called) and I feel this jersey looks great with a pair of skinnies or even leggings and warm cuddly boots.

Leather
There’s just something about leather .It looks great on those who can pull it off and it brings about a feeling of sexiness. Leather is classic and I love the looks that I am seeing on Lookbook.nu featuring vintage leather shorts and skirts. When it comes to the colour I advice settling for a black, brown or a vintage brown tanned look.

I hope I have brought about some inspiration and geared you towards the right direction to having a stunning winter wardrobe.

More trends to follow

The Editors

Vuyo Mjoli:

Random child who loves to Mix and match .Its about you and me putting two and three together.

I believe that fashion is truly the best means of self expression .The streets of our country show the true colours of our diverse nation. Fashion just like music is also a universal language .It is spoken differently in other countries but we just seem to understand fashion trends no matter where we are.

Alisha Lowry:

Rebel, Street smart, Music lover and cool cat. I rock the streets of South Africa hard. .Where ever I go I bring life to the party.
I believe the social scene in South Africa is constantly creating more and more sub-cultures, directly influencing street fashion in South Africa. Following trends is not the aim but creating different movements in South Africa is totally on point.

There is no real difference between the person that I am and the work that I do. I am inspired by fashion, people and music! I'm always looking for the old in the new and the new in the old! I work with my heart and feel the need to share what's in my head with everyone and everything around me!
