Whether to Pleather
Whether to Pleather

A killer pair of leather or pleather (faux leather) trousers are the ultimate wardrobe essential this season. However, with the look being notoriously tricky to pull off, how do you find the perfect pair to suit your shape?

There is lots to love, when you find the right pair for you. They are sexy yet classy, ageless yet funky and smart yet casual. Easy coordination (they go with everything like a leather jacket does) and versatility (you can dress them up with a heel or down with trainers) make it clear, why the leather (faux or real) trouser has been elevated way beyond a passing trend, to become a ‘must-have’ wardrobe staple.

What style for what shape?

Check out the links to my favourite leather and pleather styles for each body shape and find the perfect pair for you!

A/W Trends 20/21
A/W Trends 20/21

When Covid-19 first arrived, fashion was the last thing on our minds and any thoughts about clothes felt indecorous and foolish in the circumstances.

But as lockdown eases and we emerge from our nests with unruly hair and a few extra pounds we need energised and motivated. Looking forward and setting our sights on better times can be hugely cathartic.

Therefore, I’m embracing the Autumn/Winter 20/21 trends rather than the Summer trends, that have been absorbed under a Corona cloud, even though it was blisteringly hot last week and it feels like summer has just arrived.

So, looking forward to fresh beginnings and an uplifting new season - What’s on the menu?

The shops are open! What to buy?
The shops are open! What to buy?

Summer trends have become a bit redundant with 4 months of in-store shopping time vanished forever. Although the majority of brands have a strong on-line presence the inability to physically shop has resulted in the fashion shopping process being stunted. The ‘trickle-down’ theory from catwalk to customer never really got going.

So, now that shops are open, what to look for?

My advice is to shop under the following 3 headings, to avoid random buys, unworn mistakes and to set you up for the exciting Autumn/Winter season ahead.
