It looks like it’s going to a cosy AW next season, Margaret Howell continued the outdoorsy themes seen at other shows inc Unique, filtered through the Howell lens. Trenchcoats, cuffed cords and belted sweaters totally appeal to my not-so-secret French preppy side and I loo-oove MG anyways.This catwalk show has pretty much just triggered a long list of wants, like when I would mark the pages of the Argos catalogue for all the toys I wanted.
While it’s all for the latter part of this year, the colours, deep blue greys, dirty lemon and khaki neutrals are perfect for a hesitant spring, fresh without going for the sherbety full-on jolt of colour I’m definitely going to rock come summer. The marl jumper with a warm tan belt is such a good mix of colours and I’m hankering even more for the perfect pair of toff cords. I’ve just finally had my Burberry trench dry-cleaned and I’m looking forward to teaming it with skirts, lace-ups, bare legs and srcunched socks when spring starts to make an appearance, and a check scarf would. Despite my already bulging wardrobe of coats, I now also want to add a duffel coat and a sheepskin jacket to the multiplying horde.
