          Trending: Oversized Cardis

          September 16, 2018

          I have realised that I select fashion trend moments depending on my own ‘Comfort Tick Box’ requirements, and oversized dad-style cardis will work for me this Winter:

          Cover bottom ✅ 

          Cosy ✅

          Easy to layer ✅

          Easy to find at all price points ✅

          Four ticks plus they are perfect to wear over slim fitting layers and shorter skirt/opaque tights combo.

          To prove the point, a recent email from Net-A-Porter, show the designer oversized brigade offering colour, texture and print options, a little bit Navajo, Starsky and Hutch and definitely big, chunky and cosy. I will be searching the high street, although I do remember my dad just might have something similar…..  

          Here’s the designer inspiration:

          Missoni, Net-A Porter, crochet knit cardigan

          Marc Jacobs at Net-A-Porter oversized cable knit

          Alexachung, Net-A-Porter oversized geometric knit

          Etro, Net-A-Porter, fringed knit

          High Street options are out there and I love this golden, egg yolk yellow from Anthopologie.

          Anthropologie wool blend, £98

          And the dreamy ombre option from Urban Outfitters.

          Urban Outfitters ombre blend , £52

          Pretty Intarsia (inlaid design not just printed) florals from Anthropologie again.

          Anthropologie floral wool blend, £148

          Oversized chartreuse yellow from Cos (thats a green to most of us!)

          Cos hand wash lambswool, £59

          And a great value option for wool and cashmere, buy a few sizes bigger from the mens department from on-line store, Woolovers, in this Deep Mustard, another shade you’ll be seeing a lot of this year.

          Woolovers wool/cashmere cardi, £55

          So with days cooling, sad for some, and it’s time to unpack your woollens and see how big you wanna go!

          I love it – who’s with me?

          Moving through my forties I've gained confidence to believe in 'style over trends' - quality wins (most of the time) and not to take it all too seriously. A great jacket is always my motto, and I like to play about with old and new and mix in some craft ideas too. I work with lovely clients who want a concise wardrobe or a unique outfit for a special occasion. I hope to inspire you.
