Through blogging, twitter and facebook we can access trends and the latest “it” items faster than you can say “Social Media”. Woolworths aims to narrow the gap and bring runway to reality this winter with on trend fabrics, the seasons hottest colours ( As seen below) and up to the minute fashions!
Says Woolworths:
” Modern basics get a fun, fashionable and affordable update as fashion dances with past decades, waltzing with forties femininity, bowing to androgyny and colouring everything with warm jewel tones.
Pussy Blow Blouse from R299.00
The ‘70s plays itself out with flared trousers and midi skirts combined with feminine blouses in sumptuous satins and silk. Rich fabrics are enhanced by decadent jewel shades of scarlet, ruby, midnight blue and sapphire while textured shearling and faux fur in a palette of rust, burnt amber and ivory to complete the opulent offering.

rop waists, tunics, pea coats, polonecks, box jackets, shift tops, drainpipe trousers and mini lengths nostalgically propel us back to the ‘60s. The silhouette is defined by simple, clean lines that are best left unadorned. Eye popping orange, postbox red, royal blue and monochromatic black and white lend the look a modish beat.
Get the look with the mob bob.
Key Item: Skinny Pants from R275.00
Vintage romance comes in the shape of ‘40s inspired tea dress with soft colours, flower prints and lashings of lace. Once reserved for after-dark dressing, shimmer, shine and embellishment pair up with new look knits to become legitimate daywear.
Equally alluring is the urban pull toward androgyny. Borrowing from his wardrobe has never been so prevalent. There are button up shirts, cropped mannish trousers, winter shorts, boyish blazers and tomboy boots that lace-up, and sometimes, fold over. The secret is in the styling: throw it all together with effortless attitude.
Get the look with a tom boy ponytail.
Key Item: Blazer from R450.00
Finally, country looks get an injection of bohemian rhapsody. There are faux fur gilets, brushed cotton checks, Aztec prints and a healthy dose of denim in all its guises.”
Well I certainly have these country boots, gloves and some red skinnies on my winter wishlist. Winter fashion is the best, as one can really layer and play. Thanks to Woolworths, you know you’ll be on trend too!
