"Spirit Magazine" April Column

Column April 2017

 

This Autumn we are seeing lots of mesh, chiffon and my favourite velvet! Chiffon and mesh are great layering items and trans seasonal pieces, where velvet has a gorgeous luxurious feel to it and layers with the lighter fabrics to add texture.

Poncho’s are also showing a huge presence this season. Merino, cashmere blends and chunky acrylics are some of the fibres being used which all bring a comfy warm element to your wardrobe.

Inverted triangles and bigger busted ladies will suit a darker colour and slightly longer style poncho. An asymmetrical aspect will be more flattering on wider shoulders and suits most body shapes. If you are smaller in the bust then a roll or cowl neck poncho could be a better option for you. Try changing the angle they sit on, this often you helps balance your shape.
