9 fashion trends to avoid this winter

9:02 PM | Labels:

It may be cold and grey but at least the fashion is amazing for winter. We’re not that convinced about these trends though…

1. Sleeveless coats

There are some fashion trends that were made to be ignored, and the sleeveless coat is one of them. Granted, they create a nice silhouette. But like cut out boots before them sleeveless coats have sacrificed a rather important structural feature meaning they will have no longevity. We, for one, would like warm, dry arms this winter. Get Up To 60% OFF Fashion Outlet + FREE Shipping at eBay.Get Up To 60% OFF Fashion Outlet + FREE Shipping at eBay with eBay redemption code 2015

2. Seventies overkill

The 70s revival which took hold during the summer is well and truly here to stay. Think flares, A-line skirts, and suede over the knee boots. But be careful – if you wear everything at once you risk looking like a stray member of an ABBA tribute act.

3. Mrs Claus

London Fashion week decreed head-to-toe red is, indeed, the colour of the season. Wearing scarlet shades around Christmas is always tricky – save it for occasion wear (if it is good enough for Pixie), and leave the shearling at home lest you want to have children plonked in your lap.

4. The head-to-toe sheep look

That isn’t to say we don’t love shearling. With even Stella McCartney – a vegetarian who refuses to use leather – creating a Fur Free Fur collection this season it will be futile to resist sheep-chic. But we mere mortals should not go head to toe – stick to shearling trim to avoid being baaed at in the street.

5. Cold culottes

Culottes are another trend making the tricky transition from summer. These cropped, wide leg trousers were not flattering in warmer months, and are even less so now in heavy denim or corduroy. But more importantly, they stop a good half foot or more from the floor. Stay away from this leg wear unless you are willing to spend time creating stylish draft proofing.

6. Wearing too many trends at once

As with the 70s warning, unless you are on the catwalk there is such a thing as too much. Velvet is back – a wonderful, warm, rich textured fabric for the festive season. So are bohemian patterns – hurrah! And who does not like the flattering silhouette of flares? But for goodness sake velvet, floral flares is too much – see Topshop.

7. Dark Victoriana – more is more

A steer towards gothic romance and black lace in this trend has been taken by many as an excuse to flash some flesh. While this is not a problem for Kendall Jenner in Vogue, be careful how you take Dark Victoriana to the work Christmas do. Your boss does not want to see your underwear, however on trend it is.

8. Flapping fringing

Fringing is another fashion that will not go away. If you indulge this one this winter keep it short. While fringing can provide great detail on a boot or bag, once it can blow and in the wind and tie itself in knots you will wish you hadn’t bothered. Fringing is also not conducive to physical contact with anything or anyone.

9. Over-stacked jewellery

From chandelier earrings to gregarious pearls, chain body harnesses to ear cuffs, catwalks everywhere featured models laden with bling for the autumn winter collections – while on the street the septum ring is the new must-have piercing. Channel FKA Twigs to avoid looking like Pat Butcher.
