Lisa von Hallwyl talks “Dressing for winter with a bang” With the cold winter weather setting in.... Don’t forget your hats! Whether it’s a faux fur trimmed hat or a fabulous felt number, keeping your head warm in the cold weather often gets forgotten. And given that you lose about 20-30% of your body heat through your head make sure you keep warm and get yourself hatted! Fashion is fabulous, whatever the weather, so make sure you’re looking your best so that style doesn’t go up in smoke this bonfire night. Here are a few tips to make sure you look your sparkling best. Let’s spark things off by chatting fashion and fireworks. With the nights drawing in and temperatures dropping why not go with bright, lively colours for when you wrap up around the bonfire and watch the fireworks displays. It’s a great excuse to go and buy some nice new coats and jumpers to burst with winter style, feel great and, most importantly, stay warm!
Hats this month have been all about bright tweeds, cobalt blues and marabou with pheasant. A stylish winter day hat really changes the feel of any winter outfit and keeps you both toasty warm and looking absolutely fabulous. Check them out or order one for the freezing weather approaching or just to look great at the races this month.
PUT YOUR QUESTIONS TO ME… Last month’s question was: I’m going to the evening part of a wedding, what can I wear as an accessory for my hair?
NOVEMBER 2013
OTHER AUTUMN/ WINTER ESSENTIALS.... Try some classic leather boots matched up with some brightchunky wool knits, love it. Go super skinny with jeans or sport some leather look trousers with some oversized shirts and a belt. Add some killer boots and, for added warmth, get that statement coat and go bold in colour. Winter clothes don’t have to be dark and drab. Hot colours this winter are so bright you’ll need to keep your sunglasses on: poppy reds and emerald greens and cobalt blues.
Lisa answers… Whenever I have been invited to the evening of a wedding, I have always just worn a small enhancement in my hair, one of my more subtle creations such as a felt fascinator or small hat. I tend to think of the evening celebration as more of a party atmosphere than the formality of the main wedding reception so I dress in a more relaxed way whilst retaining a level of class and elegance. Go with classic colours (a gold with blue is lovely) and always try and find out what the colour scheme is prior to the event as you don’t want to colour clash with the MOB, groom or bridesmaids – recipe for disaster and embarrassment – hope this helps.
