What’s Hot for Autumn Winter….

I felt like I was being rushed into winter this year….the stores seemed to be filling with big coats and woolen jumpers and it was still 30+ outside. This morning the weather seems to have caught up, so it feels only right we embrace the new seasons styling, layer up and plan our winter wardrobes!!

If you’re still not convinced see our guide to what’s going to be ‘hot’ this winter, and ease yourself gently into it!!

Tartan….the Celtic print will reign supreme this Autumn/Winter! Trousers, tops, hats, scarves and jackets. Apply sparingly if you’re a first time wearer, but this is a great way to add colour and print to your winter outfits. We love!

Monochrome – Don’t let the sea of black in stores depress you too much, add a contrasting white to complement and achieve a timeless look. Keep prints small if you’re on the petit side.

Leather mix – We LOVE this look! Just a subtle addition of leather to jackets, looks very stylish.

Oversized coats – The jury is still out for me on this one. I’ve yet to see anyone who isn’t a model wear it well, so proceed with caution.

Roll necks – Necklines always creep up as the weather gets colder. These look great with leather pants or skirts. However, avoid at all costs if you have big boobs or your bust will resemble a shelf!

Midi Skirts – This look is so feminine – wear the skirts tight at the waist, with a cute knit. The length isn’t great for those on the short side. Make sure the skirt isn’t wearing you! Gorgeous for hour glass and pear shapes figures.

Maternity Wear, changing the shape of your wardrobe!

Don’t let your excitement of being a new Mum get tarnished when your boobs won’t squeeze into your bra and your jeans won’t zip up anymore.  It can be difficult as you kiss goodbye to more and more of your wardrobe, and are left wondering how much of it will fit again once your little bub is with you?

Do you give your skinny jeans to charity? Will a belt ever go round you again? How many bras should you buy? Argh all the questions!

Well do not despair, at Ruby Slippers we’re here to help you look stylish right until your waters break….and again after! So, follow our top tips on how to rock the style stakes during pregnancy:

–      Get yourself a great pair of maternity jeans in either dark blue or black. Avoid any bright or ‘on trend’ colours. You are probably going to wear these jeans more than anything else in your wardrobe, so buying a neutral colour will ensure they go with more. Wash them cold to make sure the colour doesn’t fade too much.

 Our fav’s for maternity jeans are: Topshop maternity jeans

–      Remove tight fitting items from your wardrobe that you’re not going to wear anymore, store them in an airtight container and get them out of sight. Looking at them every time you get ready, will just depress you.

–      Ensure anything new you buy fits your growing chest as well as your tummy.

–      For bras, get some good support and ensure your bra fits well. Your boobs are probably growing at a rapid rate, but you need something that give you the right support and shape.

–      The bigger you get the more you should try and draw attention upwards, big statement necklaces, scarves, earrings, tops with embellishment on the neckline or shoulders…..and your growing cleavage!

–      Shift dresses are the perfect investment….team with sandals for a casual look, wedges for brunch, heels or boots for nights out.
