AW19/20 - Fashion you’ll look hot in whatever the weather
During London Fashion Week, the key trends were country living meets rock’n’roll – think mods and rockers on a weekend break in the Lakes and you won’t go wrong.
As tweeds and leather took centre stage, with a smattering of check, some bold floral prints and a nod to military wear, Finer Things editor Victoria Galligan hunted down some of the key pieces you’ll need to create this strong look…
Bean Boot, £232.18, L.L.Bean
Cult fashion brand L.L.Bean is putting its heart and sole into the UK, with its iconic Bean Boot leading the way. The full-grain leather boot combines incredible comfort with an unrivalled waterproof protection from the rubber bottom. It’s given extra stability thanks to a supportive steel shank and has been the company’s best-selling product for more than 100 years.
Jacquard Floral Suit, Trousers - £52; Blazer - £65, Angeleye
A classically styled suit boasting a bold floral print, this figure-flattering ensemble is the perfect office-to-party wear for those who like to play as hard as they’ve worked throughout the year.
Inverness Tartan Suit, Trousers - £120; Blazer - £160, Boden
Boden boldly chose to showcase some of its key AW19/20 pieces by ditching the catwalk and launching its models into an enormous pile of garden leaves. Jodie Kidd took centre stage in its ad campaign – and thoroughly enjoyed the leaf jumping exercise, if this shot is anything to go by. Bang on trend, this tartan, Italian wool-blend suit makes a real statement.
RDA Tartan Scarf, £22.95, Lachcarron of Scotland
If you appreciate ethical fashion, then this brand new tartan will appeal – it was produced earlier this year by Lachcarron in aid of the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA). Launched by by RDA President, HRH The Princess Royal, the tartan celebrates 50 years of the RDA in Scotland and by purchasing a scarf you are helping to support another 50 years of therapy through horses. The tartan can be ordered from kate@tarandoun.co.uk.
Bruce Waistcoat, £1,110, Stella McCartney
This grey check masterpiece would be a timeless addition to any wardrobe. Double-breasted with detachable belt, it’s made from a mid-weight, stretchy fabric and is designed for a loose fit. There are matching trousers too priced at £664 if you want to complete the look.
