Women's Interests

Winter wardrobes tend to be a lot darker and more subdued than the bright colours and floaty fabrics of spring and summer collections. In winter, women’s clothing is generally made with heavier fabrics and knits and this means we tend to dress darker so as not to look like a brightly coloured woolly mammoth. You can work colour into our winter wardrobe in other more subtle and flattering ways such as a statement jacket, capitalising on colour accents, bright accessories, coloured shoes and dresses.

1) Coats and Jackets
Instead of going with the same old black or grey winter coat, why not look at the coloured varieties available this winter? If you are afraid that a coloured coat will make you look larger than you would like to appear, then fear no.  Coat design has come a long way in recent years and thanks to certain trends. Coats are being made to better flatter the figure with designs such as the swing coat or the square look that are a little more structured around the shoulders. If a big red coat isn’t your thing, consider something in plaid with bright colours or select something with cute buttons or frills.

There is a misconception that clothes for exercising or slouching about in cannot be beautiful, and London-based boutique Wellicious are seeking to change this. They defy those insisting yoga wear and loungewear should be plain or ugly. Instead, they offer attractive, simple, eco friendly clothing that is on trend and comfortable. As with high street fashion, the clothing is available in a range of stunning colours, to suit the varying tastes and complexions that women possess. For those with full schedules, the clothing is attractive enough to be worn outside of yoga class or relaxing. With no need to get changed when popping out, to town, doing the school run, or dashing to the supermarket, the ethically-produced, sophisticated range can make life both simple and beautiful.
