Whether you prefer to dress up for your Christmas celebrations or go for comfy and casual, (the vibe I personally sway towards every year...), I have created 3 looks for different occasions - from drinks with family and friends to winter walks and cosy nights in.





ONE

dinner party



Whilst trying to balance elements of comfort and style, I feel like a leather trouser styled up with a comfy, light top is the way forward.

My Outfit:






I've picked out this tan pair of wide leg leather trousers from Motel Rocks, opting for something a little different other than a standard straight-leg black pair.










To match, I've opted for this basic ribbed knit top from NA-KD. I've been loving this style of top recently, with it having the ability to be dressed both up and down.


I love the contrast in fabric between the thin knit and the leather wide legs!








To elevate these two base pieces, I've picked a pair of scrappy heels to tie in with the white of the top, and a brown shoulder bag to run with the neutral colour palette.






















I absolutely love the simplicity in this look whilst still being super chic and put together - I'm jumping at any opportunity to dress up right now!

TWO

winter walk

With comfort being key to this look, the pieces I've picked are exactly that whilst still being on trend.



My Outfit:








This coat is the perfect mix of a teddy/borg vibe within a puffer style! I haven't seen anything quite like this yet this season, and it looks super comfortable and warm - perfect for walks in the winter weather.












For the base, I've paired this khaki set from Zara's contour collection. I've been loving this colour right now, I think it's the perfect contrast against the cream/off-white colours in the coat, adding a muted pop of colour.







As an extra layer I've chosen this tan zip up hoodie from Nu-In to add to the earthy tones in the look and provide some extra warmth.

















THREE

christmas/boxing day/cosy night in




When I think of Christmas Day outfits, knit is the first thing that comes to mind. I personally opt for comfort over anything - there's nothing worse than having no extra room in your jeans after eating Christmas dinner...


Having said this, knits are of course not limited just to Christmas Day - they're perfect to chuck on for days and nights in during the winter whilst looking put together!

My Outfit:


Here are a few knit dresses and co-ords I've found:
















I love pairing jumper dresses and knit co-ords with black ankle boots, such as these from H&M:








I'm also loving the styling of long boots with shorter knit dresses and co-ords.


These welly-style khaki Zara boots have flown off the shelves, however the style is easily replicable with a platform black leather high-knee boot:

chocolate / deep browns

These chocolate brown tones are a unique way to add versatility to any neutral look, giving silhouettes instant autumnal vibes.


Making a come-back, this colour palette is heavily inspired by y2k fashion, being a go-to for the likes of fashion muses of the time, such as Kate Moss and Sarah Jessica Parker.













autumn pastels / muted summer colours

Taking inspiration from spring/summer colours, I love the transition of brighter pieces going into the A/W season. Green hues and spectrums of pinks and yellows are easily transitional colours when muted.











neutrals

A classic all-year-round staple palette, the neutrals.


I'm a lover whites, creams, beiges and greys throughout the summer, however the opportunity to layer and pair with additional tonal pieces I find can be more creative and fitting for this season.

In the aim to reduce my consumption of fast fashion brands, I will be making a conscious effort to shop from sustainably-sourced stores, ethically-based collections and more durable pieces.








H&M




With H&M being a current favourite of mine, I've recently discovered their 'conscious' line. Coming with no limits, this line makes it extremely easy to transition from the basics we lean towards from online fast-fashion retailers, yet still remaining within a very reasonable price range.



Keeping with the neutral palette going into Autumn, both of these items are effortlessly chic yet still providing all the comfort.





This set is a great, more elegant, alternative to a classic tracksuit. Layered with a trench and either black boots or chunky white trainers, this is such an easy transitional Autumn look.














sisters & seekers





I've always loved this brand, first discovering them on Instagram, and now being retailed in Topshop & distributed online worldwide. Their latest drop 'Boyish' is not only unique but right on trend, and being on the pricier side, the pieces anticipate longevity.




I love this sweat set, being in a grey-wash colour-way and material. I've seen one very similar on PLT's site, however half the price and therefore less guarantee of durability, therefore this being the better option in regards to sustainability and long-term wear.

Again, this is set is effortlessly easy to dress up with a light overcoat and chunky trainers.







Not only is this shirt a great transitional piece, it's highly unique and effortless. I can see this styled with a pair of wide-leg light wash blue jeans or grey joggers for a more casual street-style look.







I particularly love these boxer-style white shorts. Perfect for lounging, this trend surfaced in the midst of lockdown with the 'les boys les girls' shorts.


Taking inspiration from this trend, this variation is more wearable in my opinion, making them a great transitional piece as we move into the Autumn season.


















weekday





Weekday, being part of the H&M group, have recognised the fashion industry's responsibility towards the sustainability movement. Their pieces are dedicated to a number of sustainable criteria, including the use of organic cotton, recycled materials, plastic, water and CO2 reduction, as well as their 'second hand' and 'recycle with us' schemes. This makes them a much more desirable store to purchase from as opposed to the likes of Zara, with lines being similar however price points slightly higher.










This contemporary-coloured trench is a perfect way to differentiate neutral looks.

















I love the simplicity yet uniqueness of this day midi dress, allowing for numerous styling options in A/W, available in mint and black.











I also love their range of designer-inspired bags.
