Welcome to ATWKS!

Winter Fashion

Welcome to November. It’s almost the end of Winter Term in school, and if you do first term exams, your exams are fast approaching. Plus, there’s the stress of buying Christmas or Hanukah gifts for everyone you know. I’d say its safe to say that fashion isn’t exactly at the top of your priority list right now.

Well, I disagree. I think fashion should be very close to the top of your list. There’s no better season than winter to debut wonderful trends. Let me give you some help.

1. Wool
Wool is one of winter’s best trends. Let’s repeat it together: “wool!” There we go. An adorable grey wool skirt with black tights and knee high stiletto boots and you’re pretty much good to go. A nice black or navy wool coat is another staple that you absolutely must have!


2. Cashmere
Ahh, cashmere! I am a firm believer in the idea that everyone should own at least one cashmere scarf, preferably a plaid Burberry, some nice cashmere sweaters, and maybe a coat. Forget diamonds, cashmere is a girl’s best friend!


3. Scarves
Absolutely necessary! Hello, it’s winter, people! My favourites for winter are plaid Burberry, although a silky Coach or Gucci looks wonderful with a wool or cashmere coat. Anything in winter white will look dashing as well.


4. Jeans
Must-have. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. And for winter, they must be dark wash. Light wash looks tacky and very tourist-like, unless you are down South or it’s summer.


5. Shoes
Can you say boots? Ankle, knee high, calf high, I love them all. My personal faves are a pair of alligator skin Peter Fox ankle boots, and a pair of knee high black Bravo Browns boots. Oh, and Uggs are of course a staple item. I have pale pink, but I am really craving a black pair as well. Any colour looks good, so pick one that compliments your wardrobe.


Keep shopping!
